"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
Welcome to the 1 Thessalonians 5:11 segment. These videos are inspired by the idea of being a “big sister” to those who need one. Having always wished for a big sister to give me advice, I now aim to be that voice of encouragement for anyone who wants to listen. In these video diaries, I share my thoughts, experiences, and "big sister advice" to uplift others.

WHAT IS SUCCESS?
In "What is Success?", I explore feminine vulnerability and emotional depth, contrasting it with society’s expectations of success, which are often shaped by male-dominated ideals of power and achievement. I highlight the beauty of roles traditionally associated with women—qualities that are often undervalued. By juxtaposing male-driven imagery like sports and politics with softer, more intimate scenes of motherhood and femininity, I challenge the narrow definition of success and suggest that women can find fulfillment by embracing their authentic selves rather than conforming to societal pressures. I critique the modern girl power movement for its emphasis on traditionally masculine fields, which can make those who desire more nurturing or creative roles feel like they're falling short. Through personal reflection and my original poem, I offer an alternative narrative, celebrating the importance of feminine roles within society and the reflection of that concept in nature.

RESTLESSNESS
Restlessness is a reflection on the quiet guilt and longing beneath the comfort of everyday life. The film follows a typical Sunday—working out, church, homework—while a voiceover poem reveals an inner restlessness, a nagging sense of life slipping by. It speaks to the pull between the familiar ease of daily routines and the urgent desire to see, feel, and experience everything the world has to offer.

KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR
Knocking at Your Door delves into the high expectations we often place on friendships and relationships as a new year begins, clinging to a "one day" mentality—waiting for someone to fully understand and love us. As eternal beings created by God, rather than temporary creatures of earth, expecting perfect love to appear at a specific moment within the linear timeline of our lives is a flawed perspective. Instead, this love is always available—eternally evident in God’s creations: the sunsets, the breeze, the sky, the oceans, the mountains, and more. Yet, we often fail to look at the sunset, to feel the air, or to see the love he has been offering us all along.
