Not For Sale

I wanted to make a video about identity, specifically when your identity is tied to school/grades. This has always been a struggle for me. It can feel like this weight that follows you around, and I wanted to highlight the panic and anxiety that can arise when who you are is so intertwined with school. I wanted the ending to feel hopeful, as a reminder that there are so many other important things in life, and that it is possible to free yourself from the constraints of your beliefs that your worth depends on how well you do in school.
