A Brief Reflection
The past week has been incredible. I’ve found it difficult to put into words exactly how I’m feeling but if you can picture someone who’s floating on a cloud, filled with both gratitude and relief, that’s me.
In the days leading up to the release of Attacking Life I asked myself 3 questions on repeat; Does anyone care? Will anyone watch it? Will anyone like it? All ridiculous questions based on the response since but there’s a real sense of anxiety that comes from putting 3 years of your life into something so personal and intimate that you can’t completely avoid these thoughts from creeping in.
These thoughts aren’t due to a lack of self belief either. We knew all along what we were capable of and if we had the opportunity to put this in front of people we could blow them away but you just don’t know how it will be received until it’s all said and done. As much of a burden as these thoughts hold, I do think they serve a purpose which is to let me know that I care and that I’m putting all of this out there for the right reasons, something I’m very proud of.
I’ve spent a lot of time reading through all of the messages and posts since the film was released and have made as much of an effort as I can to reply to every person because I’m truly grateful for everyone who’s taken the time out of their day to not only watch the film, but to express their positivity. One of the best messages I received on day one that completely dissolved any reservations I had came through at 10am from someone saying they had watched it twice already. That’s huge!
I’ve heard plenty of people say it’s inspired them to look at their life differently, make some changes or improvements and this is all amazing to me! My goal that I’ve talked about this whole time is to just help one person and I know that this film has already done that. Everything from here is a bonus and I couldn’t be happier to be writing this with a huge sense of gratitude!
If you haven’t watched it already, you can watch Attacking Life only on Stan.
Much love!
