One's life is a series of images and actions being projected inwards and outwards, and those series of images and actions will create a cohesive sense of one's identity for one's own perception and others' perceptions. So, when one strays from that perception and the images and the actions, what is the outcome of such deviations? What happens when one is no longer fitting inside that perception?

When one lives through life, one experiences some memories as if they will be important later; and if one is too much into the art of movie-making or just generally a movie-geek, one will see them as cinematic moments. Cinematic moments that one needs to hold in high regard, because they will be important later... right? They will be important, right?? RIGHT???

When one reaches the point of a soft reboot of one's journey, it's apt to look upon where the journey has started. Maybe dispel some myths and create new ones, or maybe tell the story of how the first steps were took to the last steps still taken. When one reaches that point, it's time to sit around the fire and start the telling of one's origins.

In this episode, I sit down in person for the fourth time and talk to one of my friends that I've known for a full year, Ghazaleh. We met each other online and started following each other on Instagram, before meeting in person and getting to know each other better and better over the past year. We bonded over our shared love of crafting, so-bad-they-are-great movies, and correcting each other's English pronunciations. So we decided to sit down and talk about our jobs, our creative journeys, our as-of-yet uncertain futures and the many mistakes we have made in the past and what we are going to do about them.

One's life is made up of experiences, and to experience the world is to experience every aspect of it through first-hand and second-hand accounts. But how does one go on experiencing? What is the value of first-hand experiences? and what is the value of second-hand experiences? How does one define an experience, as one that happens once in a lifetime?

In 2020, "The Last Thoughts of a Busy Mind" was born out of one's desire to make conversation, even with oneself. That show has been going on, through highs and lows, for (almost) ten seasons. With ten being a nice round number, and things changing behind the scenes, one has to ask whether or not it's feasible or required to go past that nice round number. One has to ask, is there a need for an eleventh season?

When one wakes up, and eats, and rests, and sleeps, and then repeats these steps in the exact order, one can equate the sum of these activities to the feeling of numbness. Numbness that may have a clear reason or just comes from an array of different emotions coming together. The end result of that numbness is inactivity, and that leaves to uncomfortableness, and that leads to more numbness. Yet another vicious cycle.

Retrospection is tricky, because it will instill a lot of bad thoughts of missed opportunities. It's important to realize that when a new year comes from around the corner, to look at things more objectively. Was it a loss? or was it a change? Loss is understandable, but one needs to remember the gains and the wins. Depression tries to obscure them, and it's important to fight that.

As the Persian year comes to an end and a new opportunity rises for retrospection and introspection, one has to come to grips with the events that shaped that one year. While it is good to keep living life without allowing for past mistakes and past guilt to cripple one's ability to live, it's also good to acknowledge regrets and put efforts to reform the actions that caused them. So, with the new year serving as the de facto "start", it's time to view the regrets and the proposed reforms.

In the tenure of this show, only one episode has been skipped so far and that was due to covid. Now, a second episode joins it and this is due to something far more destructive, a movie production going overtime and inevitably, overbudget. So, what does one have to do other than put everything on hold until this behemoth is put to rest?
