Hi Heaven's Kevin 💙
The picture above is from a cold, spring day here in Norway! I thought it would be nice to add a little old memory 💙
The year is slowly coming to an end, and I thought it would be sweet to write you one last letter of 2023! I hope you have had a wonderful christmas celebrations as well! I'm currently visiting my grandparents on my dad's side, which has been so nice! 💙 They live quite far away, so I don't get to visit them that often, but I always try my best to get days of during christmas so I can go and visit them. They are getting older, but the traditions we have are very important, so visiting them is something I have to do, every late December! 💙
I have promised you a lot of life updates in my letters, but I don't have a lot to mention this time, sadly 😆 There is a lot of chaos on the airports here due to storms and heavy snow, so I nearly got stuck at the airport and didn't make it home for christmas. But luckily everything worked out, so I was able to go home to see my family. I know a lot of people are still stuck all over the country, and I feel very sorry for them :( I am actually watching a tvshow on netfl*x with my family, it is a Norwegian show about all flights from our main airport being cancelled due to a huge storm, right before christmas! It reminds me a lot of how things are now 😅 But all of the characters have to find different solutions, and some of them are stuck at the airport. The show shows how each of the characters are forced to deal with their personal problems as well, whether it is opening up to a new person, sorting out family conflicts and relearning personal values. It is a real eye opener! 👏🏻
And there was a scene in the show that made me reflect a lot. There is this pianist who received a bad review in the news paper, and was supposed to perform in a small city, with only 32 tickets sold. He was worried that his career was over as a musician, and then someone tells him "But think about it, 32 people bought tickets because they want to see YOU perform. They are there for YOU". And I thought the message was so good. Sometimes we think of things through the concept of numbers, and forget that people are people. You might help someone on the street one day and think "I helped a person", but if you think deeper, maybe that person is always feeling lonely and left out, and that one time you helped them shape their entire future, and change their life. You realise that you didn't just help a person, but you helped someone with a huge future infront of them, and you can't really imagine how much of an impact you may have on that human. And the same goes for the tvshow character, his music might have a huge impact on the lives of 32 people. 32 people with feelings, that may have had a bad day and looked forward to some music, or who just lost someone dear to them and find comfort in his work of art.
It resembles a lot my own thoughts when writing movie scripts. My mantra in film is that when you show a film for an audience, there might be a person in there that feels extremely alone in their experience and emotions, and they feel like no one woudl understand. Then they watch your movie, and can relate to something with it. And they are sitting there taking it all in and feeling seen, and they didn't need to put things into words and talk about it, they are just there in the moment with a story that resembles their own so much that they don't feel alone anymore. And there might be another person in that audience going through the same emotions at the same time. I really believe movies and stories can heal someone, which is why I fell so much in love with this art form.
Going into 2024 I want to focus a lot on this! Remember that the people around me are people with deep life stories that I may not know, but my act of kindness can bring so much warmth into those life stories. I think I deep down often think about this, but the world is so big, so at times it is easier to not think so deeply 24/7. However, when I watch movies I remember. This might be a spoiler, so ooops oooops. But I watched the movie "The Father" recently, and it was really really good! The main character has dementia, and some people would maybe cry when they realise someone has dementia, but I did not cry because of that. I started crying when I realised that "This person knows what they want, but they are also terrified and scared because they forget a lot, and it must be so painful to experience and go through. Just not knowing where your watch is, and it happening all the time, that must be terrifying and stressful", things like that makes me cry haha 💙 Something sad can happen, and I might not cry, but when I think about the deeper impacts and other consequences, that's when I tear up, because I see the scale of it, and how it will keep on affecting someone, that really makes me cry.
I am getting deep with this letter, haha 💙 But I tend to get more reflective at the end of the year, because I start thinking about how I want my next year to be like. I already know for next year that I want to start acting, I also want to do a proper clean out and go through childhood items, see what I don't need anymore and what to keep. I plan on looking for a more stable job, improving my dating life (It is very much needed) and hang even more out with friends! I always want to make more videos, and direct my own short film. I got a lot of things I want to do next year! I want to watch even more movies as well! Maybe travel a bit if I get the chance to. All of 2023 was about doing things I love and following my heart more, and I want to continue doing that next year. I am celebrating New Years with some friends this year! We thought of playing some boardgames, listening to music and just having a really good time. I am so excited for it! I absolutely love playing boardgames with friends, it is so social and a super activity to keep everyone excited.
And I mentioned in a letter that I would love to go to a fansign again in the future, and right now I am not sure if I can 😞 I have thought about it a lot, but it costs so much money, and it is a huge risk to try 💔 I have lost fansigns before, so I know how hard it is to handle, and I thought a better idea would be to save up for a possible future The Boyz tour in Europe! I am not sure when you guys would be coming back again, but I need to make sure I have enough money to go see you perform! 💙 I really enjoyed seeing you guys perform in Music Bank Paris earlier this year, so I would love to see you in a concert again soon. So even if I can't meet you in a fansign again, just being able to see you perform on stage again would mean so much to me! 💙 So even if I can't do a lot as a fan anymore, I still hope that me going to the few shows I can can bring a big smile on yoru face! And I will cheer loudly for you once I see you perform again 💙
Before I end this letter I want to add 3 songs from a music duo that I really love these days.
The Ad Above Your Head - Fly By Midnight
Different Lives - Fly By Midnight
Infinitely Falling - Fly By Midnight
They are all so good!!
And I hope you have had a wonderful 2023 too, Kevin. I also hope you will get a bright, amazing and fun 2024, filled with beautiful memories to look back on for years to come! 💙 And then I will write you another letter with life updates soon! 💙
See you in the next year 💙
