My first thought posting this now is that a year ago, at the time when this video was first released into the ether, I was falling in love. I was falling ungracefully, full of doubt, questioning it the whole way down, very unlike what I imagined the whole thing might feel like. But I was falling and here I am now, in the love jar, and it's great in here and I think I'll stay.
I find it a bit ironic that this video takes me back to that whole experience because this piece of art feels like heartbreak. It also feels like separation, like distance. People are quick to tell you that distance either kills love or strengthens it. I'm not close with either person in the video, though I've been a longtime admirer of one of them, but in this case, it seems to have done both.
I want to say more but I feel like I shouldn't, so here, watch the magic thing, and feel what you want in the space between the two.
