@@intoodeepnow, Seeing that you "needed to see this" resonated deeply with me since I felt the same way as a single older woman. So I just thought I'd say hello! Kori W (Random UKposts stranger 😉)

@Parvez Khusro Very nice observation, beautifully stated.

she was missing the past, while the young girl was missing the future

i wouldn’t say jealous, more like admired

Older couple were taking their situation for granted based on the younger couple’s youth while the younger couple were inspired by the older couple’s growth. I’d say

Yes I totally agree. I think the message is to treasure every moment of life with your loved ones, as your loved ones may one day be taken from you.

Forgetting and also not appreciate what you have. People always focus on the next best thing not realizing the great things they have now in their life.

Contentment is the realization of how much you already have.

Yeah like her ass!

One thing I took a while to notice was that the last few shots are the only time in the short film where the entire family is on screen. Every time they're shown on camera up to this point they're always split up in separate shots, but the ending symbolizes that Alli is finally content with the life she has

i agree jungkook

All she had to do was draw her drapes

I watch a lot of these short films on UKposts. So many of them are brilliant. Then I go to a movie and most of them are just crap. Why aren't these talented film makers on UKposts being hired by Hollywood?

@@patriciareilly530 there's a channel whose moderators name is Chris Stuckman. He's in the industry and he explains why this is unfortunately the case with high budget films.

@@randygibbons7817 we are not ok even when we don't compare ourselves to others - just like the people in this film who are weak and conformist

instead, we should use our 'envy' as a guide on what we can try on our own lives which is how we learn anyway we learn by getting 'inspired' by what others do in life

You’re still very young. Make it happen ❤

43 anni hai tutta la vita davanti per realizzare il tuo sogno !! Sono sicura che ce la farai!!

There’s still hope.

I'm 37 with a 14 year old, her dad and I have been apart half her life and I just never dated again. I feel like I'm wasting away too because she'll be 18 before I know it and I'll be alone. I hope you find your person ❤

Take a mini-retirement; a “year on” life. Transition out of your current role over 3-months, leave on good terms (or take a sabbatical). Cut your expenses as low as you can. Sublet your apartment or rent your home, or get a roommate. Want to meet women? Take dance lessons, yoga, take college courses, extend your friends networks (same sex friends know opposite sex people), talk to strangers, … improve your chances while improving yourself. You have prioritized work in the past, so now you have skills and financial security to fall back on a year from now if your “year on life” experiment leaves your financially poorer (which it will in the short term). But if it results in the changes you desire, then the risk is well worth it. Live a little. It’s ok to be responsibly irresponsible. Give this some planning. Travel a bit (it’s good for perspective but expensive), educate yourself (dating is a skill, don’t be afraid to hone your “cocky/confident” demeanor (fake it till you make it)). Forty feels old, but it’s still young enough to find a woman, and younger women oddly find older men attractive, so it’s not as bad as you think. “Fortune favors the bold.” A mini-retirement mid-life will waken your mind and transform you. Don’t jump without planning, but don’t be afraid to jump once you have a plan in place.

God bless you, Courtney. Good luck!

May God bless you... My brother in law was recently diagnosed with cancer and the treatment has only just started.... It is pure agony, the waiting and watching them slowly turn from perfectly healthy and happy to sad, in pain and scared. I hope you be healthy and blessed always ❤

@@seanaceleecabeso407 “Throughout the first years of our lives we were forced not just to internalize a few aspects of capital, but to build up a structure of internalizations. As our capacity for coherent natural self-regulation was systematically broken down, a new system of self regulation took its place, a coherent system, incorporating all the aspects of self-repression. We participated in capital’s ongoing project of colonization by colonizing ourselves, by continually working at the construction of a unitary character-structure (character armor), a unitary defense against all drives, feelings, and desires which we learned were dangerous to express. In the place of our original transparent relations to our world, we created a structure of barriers to our selfexpression which hides us from ourselves and others.”Jay Amrod and Lev Chernyi, “Beyond Character and Morality: Towards Transparent Communications and Coherent Organization.” Howard J.

i like your comment..... it is so true

Love this

Wow, that one is wise!

I am a middle-aged woman and I don’t miss being a young woman I’m a very experienced middle-age woman and I enjoy the experience that I’ve gained and I enjoy sharing it with the man I love everything is better with time baby everything is better with time

Absolutely... I think we all go down that road when we realize we are getting older. I remember when I realized I was the old guy at work, it was devastating to me, but once I stopped comparing myself to the young guys, I started using my experience to my advantage. Now I know that, experience and wisdom trumps youth anyday (spoken as a old guy). Lol

@@purdusterdoggett3134 Cool, but I have met some people who feel they are losing something while being happily married.

@@sushilsharma4202 then that means they have something missing within themself not so in a marriage. I’m not middle age yet but I’m not young no more but I’ve experienced my youth and now experiencing my life now and looking forward to the future. And I feel like I’m not missing anything cuz I was wild in my youth lol. So I’ve done many things already so been there done that! Now I’m just enjoying myself with the man I love and ppl I love. I think ppl who think or feel they r missing something is cuz they rn in life aren’t were they want or maybe they have not experience enough.

It’s all mind set. And where u want to be in your life. My parting days r over. I don’t have energy for that! Lol. I miss being young only cuz then u don’t have so much worries and of course u look more youthful but besides that I don’t care too much. I’m happy where I’m at in my life now. So I’ don’t look back. But I think sometimes ppl get lost and need a reminder that’s all.

​@@sharkshakesloool

When I lived back in Spain in the first flat we had, we had a neighbour that we called ""La mirona" opposite of us. She would hide behind the blinds (in Spain everybody has blinds, that's the things that truly keeps people out of your business) with a pair of binoculars. She was completely obsessed not only with us, but with every single neighbour. She was a wealthy lady (we moved when we couldn't afford rent anymore) but she had maids to do all the cooking and cleaning, her husband was at home only at night, her son had already started a family of his own somewhere else... She had nothing to live for except spying on everybody in front of her. At that time I felt she was a nuisance, but now I look back and I feel compassion for her. My life can be shitty but there has things on it, not only that huge nothing one day after the other.

So so true!

The truth is we need 9 versions of the Fast and Furious to compare. One cannot exist without the other.

I think this happens because we do not take a step back (once in a while) to realise it. Most of us, we live life head-on. Lesson learned.

Although it is possible for an individual to neurologically condition and modulate themselves to a more pleasurable state, that is only if its needs and wants that is warranted by its brain is satisfied. Soon, we will have the technology to wirehead our own brains to happiness and superintelligence. We don't need to materially hoard anything anymore to satisfy ourselves, our technology will create the ultimate utopia in our brain. Neuroutopianism will soon be a thing.

I feel it has nothing to do with social media at all, people that think profoundly enough to write like this rarely have social media accounts. Social media is a vice, and the upper teir of society dont really deal with it

Even before social media people have been envious of others when they fail to appreciate the life they have when other people would kill for the life they have.

@@pinkfreud62 They are you just need to look hard

@@katriinmeesak6815 I get what you are saying, but using this isn't a good example. Like what if they wanted to have kids, but as their children got older the job of taking care of them got very tiring. And youth is something they used to have, but now they don't which might explain the longing to be the other person.

I think a lot of films don't need to be long full length. This would of lost meaning and purpose if it was an hour and half long. I think a lot of film should strive for the 30 min mark.

O God! Uve added anticlimax here😁

My first thought when I saw the title of the movie. Why would you expose yourself?

True

Exactly

lol

So true people only see the outside they don't understand what is going on inside.

There is an old story about birds.. The birds in a cage always have food, warmth,safety, companionship, and security. But they are sad looking out the window at the birds who are free and can fly anywhere they want, anytime they want. Caged birds yearn for freedom. The birds outside look in the window and are jealous of the caged birds inside who aren't always afraid of predators, never cold or starving, and always have a mate. They yearn for safety and security. The birds in their cage spend their time dreaming of being outside and free. The birds outside spend their time dreaming of being inside cages warm, safe, and secure.

Thanks for explaining 😊

True..its heart touching story

Facts. That why we should all be grateful for what we each have

I'm looking forward to watching this while eating my lunch. You say that there's a shot at the end where other people's windows are shown. Must be a large apartment complex.

There's a word for that feeling: "sonder."

I like to as well, I’m always curious as to what lives everyone else is living in. It’s mostly through car windows though.

Like on freeways

I need you to know that your comment on the windows cracked up in shards of glasses on the patch red inside sockets two across which lied the glisten of the moon in colored smear, all transparent again in me.

@Ken Rawley Please edit your post (upper right corner, tap the three dots, make your changes, hit the little blue arrow). You have misquoted, and also attributed the quote to the wrong person. The quote is "hard battle", and the person is not Louise Hay but Ian Maclaren. Thought you'd like to know! 😊

It’s because EVERYTHING matters and NOTHING matters. If you want the family life, family will matter. If you want an untethered life, freedom will matter. You just have to know what you want and be honest with yourself about it. So many people rush to make a family knowing full well they don’t want a spouse and kids.

Or finding anybody doing worse than you at life to make you feel better about our miserable lives. You see that daily on the social media

U like being a predator peeking ur neighbors?

@@SP-fw1xe agree. I’m so tired of this saying «the only things that matters in life is to get married, live long and have kids». No, not everybody wants that. And not everybody is suited to have children. This movie is not about that at all. It’s about trying to find happiness with what you have, cause just because everybody elses life seems «perfect» it doesn’t need to be.

This short film really moved me. I think it's human nature to compare, but things are not always what they seem. Social media proves this more than anything. Everyone is smiling, vacationing, and showing their best life when, in reality, no one's life is perfect, and life is hard for all of us in one way or another. Love your life for what you have instead of hating your life for what you don't have. Or at least try to.

Obay, that's some wonderful insight there.
