CDMX, Mexico. Winter 2020.

At the beginning of 2020, we had a big big fight and we stopped talking to each other. The fight was about stupid things, girl stuff… it was something silly like ‘You never talk to me’ that turned into a fight.
We didn’t speak to each other for a while. When we got in touch with each other again, we connected over sharing our stories… About growing up. We became really close.

Because I know her since high school. And she became my best friend and neighbour and every Friday, when we hang out and drink beers together, we talk about everything, everything, everything.

She told me about a lot of the things she’s reading, she likes a lot of buddhism and she told me of a lot of the things she’s learning. I like the way she sees things.

Like love yourself, stop thinking too much, you’re overthinking. And she’s like be chill, enjoy it, this is the moment, live your life now and dont worry about tomorrow. As maybe tomorrow you die and you spend your whole day worrying about something that’ll never happen. I like that.

I learned a lot I think, yeah her views on life changed a lot for mine.

Hi, I’m a filmmaker. Everyone’s got a story to tell. I was wondering what’s yours. Come by some time. See you soon. Bye Bye.
