“i miss you too”
after moving to la, i felt guilty and anxious for being so far from my family. “i miss you too” stars my little sister, quinn, who i often call to share about our life updates. while we are very apart in age, i consider her one of my best friends. even though we don't live as close anymore, we use our calls to grow together in our journeys through college and preschool. however, i’ve found myself declining calls or missing them due to the pressure to keep up with other aspects of my life. through this little short, i hope to illustrate my desire to maintain my close bond i have with my sister and my family. as i slowly lose the cushion of proximity with them, i know they miss me, and i miss them too. use link in bio for the full short <3
