I'm Sorry. Please Forgive Me. Thank You.

Support us in creating more films like this :   / reflectionsoflife   Thank you. Justine & Michael 💚 Some of the beliefs we carry about ourselves began with something small. A moment when we felt overlooked, and a young mind quietly concluded: I don’t matter, I’m not loveable. We were children, so we believed it. Then we built a life around making sure it never happened again, working harder, achieving more, hoping someone would finally tell us we’re enough. So much energy goes into looking outside of ourselves for reassurance. And underneath the confidence, many of us are still brutally hard on the child we once were, the one who just wanted to play and feel joy. We forget them. Sometimes we turn away. Maybe that’s where ‘please forgive me’ belongs. Not as a grand gesture, but as something small and honest we say to ourselves. Being gentle with ourselves can take more courage than pushing on ever did, and it might be what brings us back home. Featuring Simon Ekin - www.simonekin.com Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.

We are Justine and Michael , and we use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion. In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.
