  • Omg. This is so cool. It just reminds me of how every decision I made in life was the exact opposite of what my heart wanted. But in the end, everything was worth it because it brought me to where I'm today.

    • Could you talk about an example of this? I can’t really picture a situation where following my heart wasn’t a valid choice. Maybe if you were to say that anxieties were also my heart but I don’t see it that way.

  • I like how when she does something that doesn't match what she wants to do, she splits into different ghosts, and only by gathering up her ghosts is she allowed to leave her house. I like to think that every witch in that world, and even regular people in real life, have to go through this sometimes. It's nice.

  • I think you should know this genuinely made me cry. It wasn’t full on sobbing, just more of a gentle laugh accompanied by tears. Maybe it was the colors, the beautiful instrumentals and soft humming, or the message behind it all, but this was so beautiful and I’m genuinely at a loss right now. I think this short animation captures so much in a short amount of time, and does so expertly. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful piece with us. I’m startled by how much it affected me, but in the best kind of way, and I wanted you to know that.

  • short, but it has a great message. That message being that despite your short comings, no matter how lazy you are, those are parts of you that make who you are and you should love yourself because of them. Dont think of them as bad parts of yourself. (hope I'm not getting the message wrong lol)

  • From start to finish, this animation was perfect. As someone who has and still deals with depression and other mental health issues, I feel so represented by this work. It highlights small accomplishments like getting out of bed or watering plants as significant feats. Even if it's something as simple as getting off your phone, it's still a step towards getting better. The way she acknowledges that she is not perfect by embracing her flaws at the end brought me to tears. Absolutely excellent work.

I watched this on your TAD talk today and was tearing up in public 😅😂 it just made me emotional and I related so much to it. I've had some tough times mentally throughout my life and I still do, but nowadays I manage to handle them just like the witch, being more compassionate with myself and learning to embrace the parts of me that may be more challenging or make me feel lost and confused at times. These are all me and I gotta keep navigating life as the whole being I am. Thank you for reminding me of that through this animation.

It was surprisingly emotional and a very welcome reminder to be more gentle with ourselves without letting ourselves off the hook. She still took them off the bed, couch, avoidant behavior but with love.
