In 2020, I felt lost. Since graduating high school, I had joined my college drumline, attended university, and learned how to navigate life with my family out of arms reach. It wasn't until I stumbled across a masterpiece in my pitch-black room one night that I found clarity.
It wasn't until I stumbled upon 'Angelita' directed by Josiah Gordon.
"A love story that beckons you to dive deeper…."
Words can't describe how this piece of art made me feel that night. I would do anything to see it again for the first time. But even today, I use it as a reminder to stay true to my goals and loved ones. Angelita takes a leap of faith, risking everything for love despite uncertainty. As I watched, I saw my own struggles reflected—the fear of stepping into the unknown, the doubt that creeps in when chasing a dream. That night, I realized that uncertainty doesn’t mean failure; it means growth. Angelita represents the inner battles we face within ourselves and the courage that is required to follow through on our desires. Angelita has taught me to follow my intuition and trust in myself. Every day, I learn to deepen my trust in others as well.
Let me know if you can recall a leap of faith you've taken in your life. Have you regretted it? If you didn't get the outcome you desired, did the act of simply trying teach you lessons to carry along with you?
In my experience, every leap of faith has rewarded me with experiences, moments, and relationships I will hold onto for the rest of my life.
I encourage you to check out Angelita. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this masterpiece and how you can apply its teachings to your life.
