people are cool. i love artists so much. i love being a sieve. when he talks about his routine being the foundation for his experience and the lens he observes the world through. and how he specifically mentions change so often. like, bear with me, the passage of time is inevitable. change is inevitable. it’s scary to let things go. “i’m from the 20th century, i don’t want to deal with the 21st.” i feel a lotttt of nostalgia. i found myself thinking so often while watching this that i wish i could’ve been born 50 years earlier. or that i could go back 10-15 years to the time this was made. but! change and uncertainty is what makes life worth living, it’s what gives us a framework to even begin to grasp our happiness. those moments of him and hideaki anno together really made that clear to me. thinking about them working together 25 years prior, and then getting to come together for something new as new people with new perspectives is so life-affirming.
i’m a very anxious person, i feel a lot of nostalgia and do a lot of daydreaming. i think a lot about how i just wanna meet someone and be happy and if i just had this 1 more thing i would be content. it’s really powerful to see such plain evidence here that happiness, or joy or pride or contentment or whatever, is something that comes along on its own when you stop trying for it and just live. just keep going and doing what you love and working hard even when it doesn’t feel fun. you have to keep your eyes open. some things never change.
you must live!
i wanna smoke cigarettes forever and act young even if im old and die before i get decrepit
