Author's note
I started filming and documenting my life back in May, not knowing exactly where it would take me. What came of it was a story both true and honest—capturing moments of uncertainty, reflection, and the search for meaning. This film is a window into the raw, unfiltered journey of trying to figure out what comes next when the future feels unclear. It’s personal, but in many ways, it’s a story we all know—an exploration of leaving behind the familiar and confronting the unknown.
Bluebird by Charles Bukowski
there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, so don't be sad. then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?
