Just because

Just because you're skinny doesn't mean you eat too little.
Just because you're fat doesn't mean you eat too much.

Just because you're tall doesn't mean you should be a model.
Just because you're short doesn't mean you can't do a lot of things.

Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you wear make-up.
Just because you're a boy doesn't mean you can't be heartbroken.

Just because you're in ITE doesn't mean you're stupid.
Just because you're in poly doesn't mean you're smart.

Just because you're the only daughter doesn't mean you have to do all the chores in the house.
Just because you're the only son doesn't mean you have to be toughest in the family.

Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean you don't respect other people.
Just because you grew up in a religious household doesn't mean you won't make mistakes.

Just because you're quiet doesn't mean you're sad.
Just because you're laughing at everything doesn't mean there's nothing bothering you.

I just made this video, because I've always thought this song was worth sharing, from the very first time I heard it about 5 years ago.

If you listen to its lyrics you'll deduct that it's all about sharing your stories. About how you shouldn't hold it in because you know it'll kill you. Just let it out if you feel something, be it happy or sad.

I used footage of things from my room, because your bedroom is where you usually keep your feelings in. It's where you have the most thoughts and tears, where the punching and cutting happen. Where all your stories are contained, really.

And also, to emphasise my point, there's a story behind every object in my room, and there are meanings as to why I placed a certain shot to a certain lyric line ^_^
