My video is based on suicidal/depression prevention. This is coming from a personal experience and whereas I, myself, and millions of other people in this world go through depression and not everyone take it seriously. Depression can lead to many thoughts and actions including suicide. I developed having depression at the age of 17, and I didn't know why I was always so emotional or why I just didn't like doing anything. I never ate and in fact I use to starve myself. I ended up going to therapy for awhile. It helped at first, but as time passed my depression got worse. I didn't want to go back to therapy so I stayed in my room all the time, and I would tell people I was okay. I would pretend to eat when I really didn't eat at all. I just couldn't stand to look at my family or friends in the face. I didn't want to worry about me because I thought I could handle everything on my own. I was the the type of person who didn't want help from others. I was always tired and drained even from doing absolutely nothing all day. I didn't want to go to school because it was stressful. And with the stress it just piled up on more things in my life that I already hate. By the time I got to college of my freshmen year, I didn't want to know what the rest of my life would be like, in fact I sat and thought about it for a long time now, I simply just didn't want to exist in this world. But I had people that wanted to help me even when I refused, they consistently and constantly tried to help me, comfort me, make me feel like I was worthy of myself. They taught me to love myself and made me a stronger person. Till this day the same group of friends are still helping me manage to get better. Although I haven't gotten the thought of ending my life completely out of my head, I definitely think about it less. No matter how much I refused help. there's people out there that won't let you go through it alone, and I found those people who will go through hell just to get me better. So the point of this is that no matter hwo much you want to ive up on life, and think that everyone else has given up on you, there are still the few that are willing to constantly make you happy and remind you eveyday when you wake up or go to bed, that you are worth being here.
The artist that inspired me was Dre Wapenaar(1996). He created the birthing tent where it was suppose to be a celebration for an intimate moment. "Things are dealing more with emotional issues, with intimacy and distance, with attraction and repulsion, with respect for respect and disrespect." His tent was designed to altar human behavior by making people feel secure, calm, and friendly. Which is why I created this video to show people that no matter what you are going through in life, surround yourself with people that will make you feel secure and calm. There will always be bad negative moments, but the good moments is what overcomes those. It outweighs the bad no matter how much you want to give up on life, there are those who are willing to stop you from feeling like this and give up theirs for yours.
