My Meaningful Video

1. I have decided to include my pictures of my friends, family, my cat, school, and artists/bands I like in my video.
2. I chose not to include meaningless pictures in my video, preferring to stick to things that are meaningful to me.
3. I would have liked to include more pictures of my family, but unfortunately I was having a problem with my camera so I couldn't upload anymore pictures of them.
4. I used two questions to decide if something was meaningful to me the question, how important was that subject to my life. I asked myself the question, would I be able to live without it? For example, I asked myself how important my family and friends were to me, and decided that they were very important to me because I would not be able to survive without them in my life. Those are the questions I based my decisions about what to put in my video on.
5. The pattern that I find in things that I find meaningful is is that they mostly include people. For example, my friends and family are both meaningful to me, and they are all people. People are meaningful to me because I can relate to them, because they have emotions just like me. It’s harder to relate to animals or non-living objects.
6.I think that it is a honest description of my life, because it shows me in school , hanging out with my friends, spending time with my family and cat, and listening to music, which is all things that I do almost every day. I think that my life in interesting and special to me, but I don't know what others think of it, hopefully they would agree with me.
7. I think my life does seem meaningful from an outside perspective, because I think that most people find their friends and family meaningful, and my friends and family are a part of my video. It is also meaningful from an inside perspective because it matters to me and everybody close to me.
8. The question that I have about living a meaningful life is: Why do people question if they have a meaningful life or not? Shouldn't they just take the life they have and most the best out of it, instead of questioning its importance?

Just to let you know, the video takes a while to load.
