BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

For a long time, I lived on autopilot, making decisions out of inertia, routine, or based on what others expected of me. Without stopping to ask myself questions as simple (and as important) as these:

Is this the life you want… or the life others expect of you? Do you feel the good around you? Have you pushed yourself beyond your comfort zone?

In this video, I write a letter to a younger version of myself. A version that didn’t stop to question whether he was truly happy, whether he was living the life he wanted, or simply the life he was supposed to live.

Four years ago,

I bought a DJI Mini 2, and that’s when everything started to change. What began as curiosity quickly became a way of seeing the world differently. From above, everything changed: perspective, silence, distance…

Flying drones changed the way I lived. It taught me to slow down, to observe, to appreciate everything around me, and to step outside my comfort zone. It pushed me to be more present, more conscious, and more connected to the moments I was living.

And of course, thank you for being on the other side of the screen.
