Dangerous doesn’t mean destructive. It means you survived enough to stop being scared of losing people. Once absence stops being leverage, everything changes.

A friend of mine, mindfeelings21, wrote this poem. I took his words, put them to music, and built the film around them. His poem. My film. Sometimes the best thing you can do with someone else’s words is give them another way to be felt. Written by mindfeelings21 Film by @Rosmari Tinus & @Dan Shea / OnlySwears

Had some fun with this. Based on @Rosmari Tinus post https://www.skool.com/swearabulary/choose-yourself-first?p=4d363d81 and her much, much more thoughtful post, I went off and had some fun with the idea of cutting off fake friends. Went to Chat and we had a conversation about song lyrics for a song like this. Then after I had the lyrics, I asked it for a Suno style prompt. Ten minutes later I had two songs to choose from and I picked the one attached. Once I had my song I created a video of the still with the song and sent that off to VEED to create the captions. The whole process took less than 20 minutes. Hope you like it.

Some choices look selfish from the outside because people got comfortable with you putting yourself last. That doesn’t make them wrong. Growth gets uncomfortable when it changes what people can expect from you. Choose yourself anyway. ❤️ This is @Tiffany Lee Blake version. 🤣 https://www.skool.com/swearabulary/should-be-on-braoadway?p=ff277b7c

Because I am posting in different places, I decided to do this one in two different versions. For the 9:16 I had to move things and do some extra cuts to keep the main focus in frame. Have you ever tried doing both 16:9 and 9:16 with your content? I recommend doing the 16:9 complete first then edit the 9:16 from that. This is for my Red Planet Sirens series. The helicopter she recovers was the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter that NASA sent up to Mars. In a future show, it is going to end up back on Earth in the Smithsonian. The rover girl, who was one of the models in Mars Fashion Week, ends up working in Milo's club later on. Did you see she's playing a Siren Flux song in the rover? That was Glitch Mode by Soo-ah [https://www.instagram.com/p/DTQ36jsCou1/]. Later she is going to get to meet Siren Flux when they do their concert on Mars. That will be in a future episode. Now for me, back to work on Episode 5. Your thoughts?
