Humanity is Worth Saving

Why am I starting a humanitarian video project like a bunch of other starving artists in the PNW?

Well here's why:

I had the idea for this project awhile ago, I just didn't know how to execute my message, or what it would transform into. And I still don't know the answer to those questions, but I've already started interviews and weaving video production into my life, so here we go.

So a couple years ago, in the middle of a heated conversation about the state of the world, I heard myself say 'because humanity is worth saving' and I realized I only partly believed that. Maybe it was when covid really started flaring up, and panic was in the air. I've spent the years since then tracking my inner nihilist: the part of me that finds life meaningless.

I've spent these years challenging that limiting belief, and arguing for a better world (mainly with myself) - and taking action steps to create a more positive mindset, environment, and motivation for myself and others. I've met a lot of amazing people; people who have inspired me to keep peeling back the layers of who I truly am to find my deepest calling as a human being. With support, I've found purpose I didn't know was there, and am more inspired than ever to throw all my passion into sharing one simple message: Humanity is Worth Saving.

Meditate on each of those words carefully: - Humanity - Worth - Saving

​What does it mean to be fully human? Was does it mean to be worth something? How does believing we aren't worth preserving as a species affect our ability to save ourselves from destruction?

To be honest, hopelessness easily gets the best of me. I struggle with melancholy and anxiety often. I have apprenticed with sorrow, grief, and love, and accidently remember over and over again: humans are amazing. We're worth investing in. Despite the malevolence, corruption, and despair... I still believe we're great. That belief doesn't come easy. So I started a project to keep myself inspired - and I hope it inspires you too. Keep going. Life is worth it.
