0 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Sometimes high school can be difficult. It makes you feel lost, as if you were stuck 1 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000 in a building with hundreds of people, each one with different and difficult lives. But 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000 as overwhelming as it could be, at the end there is always peace. Each one of them has 3 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000 a different way of having fun, spending free time or as well cheering up when they're 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Some prefer to hang out with their friends or loved ones and have a laugh, others prefer 5 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000 reading and some others prefer enjoying the nature or views of its town. 6 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000 I get tired when I'm around people, simply because of the presence of those around me. 7 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000 My head just can't work out the same way it does when I'm alone. Feels like being around 8 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000 people sucks my blood out. That's why I prefer to be mostly alone, reading a good book, relaxing, 9 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000 playing video games. Those activities don't tire me out and I can recharge my social battery again. 10 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000 That girl in the video is me, Emily. A 15-year-old teen that since she turned 11-year-old, her 11 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000 priority has always been to look good physically. Adult people wonder why young people always 12 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000 worry about how we look. From my point of view, there are many factors that make a teenage 13 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000 to worry so much about their image, such as the infinity stereotypes that we try to follow 14 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000 or in other cases, maybe that the person has previously suffered bullying for his or her 15 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000 physical appearance, which is my case. In adolescence, the word insecurity can define 16 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000 us the most, since we are children playing at being adults metaphorically. And in this 17 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000 phase of our life, we are preparing ourselves for the real world, something that usually 18 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000 gives us a lot of fear and insecurities. Personally, I do exercise in my free time because being 19 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000 in shape makes me feel comfortable with myself, but I never forgot that my inner beauty is 20 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 the most important thing. And that is something that I can't forget. 21 00:02:39,000 --> 00:03:09,000 The music is an art full of learning, really extends, going from the baroque to the contemporary 22 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000 music. Its beauty is beyond any imaginable descriptions. The music calms me down. It's 23 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000 my best friend, a silent psychologist that is always for me to calm my anxiety, hear 24 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000 my thoughts, and a huge body, whose presence has always been pleasant. Nevertheless, out 25 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000 of the music, there's my dog, my sibling from another species, and the animal being 26 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000 that help me the most one way or another, sometimes demanding a walk, which makes me 27 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000 forget the world, or when the dog caresses my balls. 28 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000 High school can be draining. However, being at home all evening with nothing to do gets 29 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000 boring. That's why I decided to take dancing lessons. Like any other sport, it needs practice. 30 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000 But, after all, the main objective is to have a good time. It doesn't matter if you're alone 31 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000 or with someone. It's true that you can get frustrated because you forgot or even missed 32 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000 a dance step in your choreography. But, at the end, by practicing, you can reach anything. 33 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000 You can get more or less tired, but the main objective is to be satisfied for the job you've 34 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000 done. After I finish my dancing lessons, I go back home, a little bit tired, but at least 35 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000 I get to see the beautiful views. After all, who doesn't like watching the sunset at the 36 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 end of the day? 37 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:11,000 I enjoy creating, be it through drawing or through writing. I find the world around us 38 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:19,000 disappointing because, sure, there are many things out there, but what about the things 39 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,000 that don't exist in this world that could maybe exist in one's imagination? 40 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Creating gives people a break from the real world and that is the main reason why I enjoy 41 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:44,000 it. Because I enjoy feeling like I am in control of my life and like I can really make a change 42 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:53,000 in this world. Because, sure, all of us can make a change, I guess, but it's different 43 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,000 in your own world where, when you're painting, you can maybe change the background, change 44 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000 the characters, change everything to make the scenery what you want it to be. And when 45 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000 you're writing, you can write the story however you want it to. You can make whatever endings 46 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000 or whatever changes you want. And in real life, you just can't do that. 47 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 I'm a creator. 48 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000 I'm a painter. 49 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 I'm an artist. 50 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 I'm a live-action artist. 51 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 I'm an illustrator. 52 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000 I'm a video game creator. 53 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 I'm an artist. 54 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 I make videos. 55 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 I make music. 56 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 I make art. 57 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 I make videos. 58 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000 I make music. 59 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 I make videos. 60 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 I make music.
