It’s been nine months since my decision to make a final edit. I’m not even remotely close to being finished. It’s a burden that I want to get rid of, but I also want it to be my best work by far that represents how much I appreciate both the experience of having made these edits and the people that have enjoyed watching them. I’m trying to incorporate a staggeringly unprecedented number of visual sources, and the nature of the song I’m using entails (for me, anyway) the most meticulous editing by far. I’ve grown so frustrated with my lack of progress (I’ll refrain from going into boring editing specifics) that I’ve become prone to going for weeks without even opening the project, and as the months have gone by, I’ve begun to think that I’ve lost my touch, that the finished edit will fail to surpass my past work or even match it, that people won’t even like the song because of how relatively different it is. There are way more people that watch my videos now compared to pre-“just friends”, and I’m really scared that I will fail to meet their expectations.
For the past few months now, I’ve been avoiding it entirely. But nine months later I still mean it when I say that I want y’all to see this edit someday, that I don’t want this channel to inevitably end without completing it. I probably am washed up, and I’ve seen some edits by others that are unlike anything I could ever hope to make. I still want to do my best, though. I owe it to y’all. The thing is, I have discovered a track recently that I would really love to make an edit for. I don't think it's as fitting for a final edit as this other track though, so I'm hoping that after making this one, I'll be able to come back to the final edit with renewed inspiration. I don't know how long this new edit is going to take to finish, but I have a good feeling I'll be able to make much better progress. Well, I guess that's about it. Hope that all kinda made sense. Thank you for your patience. Peace. Much love.
