This is a 5-minute freewrite in response to the prompt from 1/23/2025 "director of the movie"
I love watching movies, and grew up in a house where were regularly rented films and visited the theater. As a young child, I idolized directors who worked among the Hollywood stars, and now realize we are in a much more dynamic role as the director of our lives.
Directors can set the conditions of the stage and when they shoot on location, they commonly shut down busy streets to get the most amazing shots. As the director of our lives, we must roll with the punches and must react to what happens to us. We work among the stars that make our lives bright and we must make sure to show our appreciation as a director does. We need to balance practical concerns with dreams and sometimes practicality wins. We want our legacy to be dynamic and rousing just like the most ambitious director wants the world to see his film.
Directors often struggle to express their creative vision on investors' budgets. Time I tight and a director will often times need to balance their need for control with the pressures of the world and limited resources as we all do. Our art is our life and the legacy we leave behind.
I am a director of my life and of the most amazing movie I have ever seen. Let's associate our life's work with the amazing and beautiful films we watch and appreciate.
