How to be Alone

Communication is a powerful tool that can inspire and change minds. I often believed, like almost everyone else, that to be alone was a horrible thing. That being alone would make you an outcast. However, one day in a writer's craft class I took in high school, a student showed me this video. My mind was changed about a major issue and I felt inspired to find beauty in being alone. Using her personality, sweet animations and poetry, the woman in this video manages to communicate her feelings about a major human issue, while both charming and inspiring the viewer. I post this here so that you too may experience this amazing little film. Enjoy!

  1. Amaze! Sweet and lovely poetry with neat animation - I can understand every word and every emotion of this film. That's the wonderful part of film: stepping out of yourself into the unknown, with some understanding.

    Thanks Yacov

  2. A sweetness that reminds me of Juno, refreshing and honest. A whimsical and magical use of illustration as well.
    Thanks.
