Life is tough sometimes. Thank you all for watching.
Here's to getting better together.

"All love and no labor" - that stuck with me. The pure joy of discovering, creating and dreaming truly is limitless. Be more intentional with the love in what we do - what a valuable reminder. This is a great pause - thank you for the reminder and your honesty. Your work is incredible. Keep pushing on. Find that limitless love.

Natasha Reali 1 second ago I feel this to my core. I love your content, it is truly is inspiring, as an artist who has suffered from burnout at her regular job- i say this- please continue in your journey of making sure to take a beat. It’s okay to not be okay, its okay to not always be “on”. It takes strength to notice and take action like you are, be assured of that. Thank you so much for sharing. Please remember you’re not alone, and it will get better with time. I have faith in that, for all of us.

[@k.studioo]

Very awesome cinematography! I was finding some inspiration to make a video about it and I think I found it!

[@jocidxps3]

This Is truly remarkable video and message for. everyone out there who feel this way as my self to. Really hard to find ourself again who we were use to be. To been an artist never easy and and every minute of that is a challenge and often become worse than that. this beautiful masterpiece of Kyle shows that no matter how hard is sometimes if we fight we will find the way out of it. Just because not happening today that not mean will not happen tomorrow. Keep it up Kyle your incredible work and keep following your passion .🙏👊

[@theartofstoryzw]

Such a beautiful and important film. Thanks for your authenticity Kyle.

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

Thanks for watching mate! Definitely was an emotional process creating this one

[@alexandermenzies7610]

Beautifully spoken Kyle. I to have gone through the same experience. One thing I have learnt from these times, is that we come out of it with a greater insight of who we are in our personal life and as a creative, who only wishes to share the beauty that we experience. Look forward in seeing new content in your time.

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

That's some beautiful perspective - thanks much for sharing! Very appreciated.

[@davey_gravy]

You're saying alot of what we're all feeling! Killer visuals man! ❤

[@Outdoor.pixels]

I can relate for sure! I quit my job a few months ago and went to Colorado and lived out of my truck for over 2 months and then came back home for the holidays. I don’t have a job so I feel like I should be making 2 or 3 KZbin videos a week and Im mad at myself because I’m struggling just to make even one a week. I just drove 2 hours to a spot to film a camping video and nothing went right so I drove back home without finishing the video. I was mad that I left but if I’m in a bad mood then it comes through in the video but I need to make videos because I don’t have any excuses I have the time. I don’t know if that is really even burnout. Thanks for making this video it helped me a little.

[@weemanwanders]

Great short film man, you don’t seem to be the only creator lately who’s going through this, lots of people talking about the pressure to keep posting everyday! Do it your way!!

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

Thanks for watching mate! Yeah, it certainly seems like a lot of creators are going through it currently. Lots of pressure in the industry these past few years.

[@senthilsangeetha8605]

Man... you are a GOAT in photography .... became a fan of you

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

Thank you for watching! Hills and valleys are a certainty no matter if its your "dream" job or not

[@alieinafrica]

Kyle oh my word I loved this so much. I relate so deeply to everything you shared. Thank you for sharing

[@dansutherland8623]

Bruh! a vulnerable film to make but killed it!

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

Thanks for watching, Dan. Definitely a challenge to put out into the world, but an important step in the healing process

[@angelaliggs]

I feel this. Thanks for creating this, Kyle.

Thanks John!

[@brianakeane2826]

Thank you so much for sharing this. As someone not in this field but has been curious about how it all works as a creative, this was really moving. Thank you for sharing this part of you with us.

Burnout is so real… thanks for your vulnerability Kyle. Sending hugs 💛

[@darylswalker]

Just what i needed dude! Feeling very much like this ATM

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

Glad you enjoyed man! Hope you find your way through it soon 🙏🏻

[@stepsforthesoul]

Very well said. Thank you for sharing your journey. Ive been a fan of yours for the past year. You have inspired me and so many others and I think thats what it might be all about. Inspiring each other and forgetting the algorithms. We place our value on a machine. I have felt this burnout as well. For me personally, it really helps to create for myself and not anyone else and then letting the cards fall as they may. Take the time for you brotha and looking forward to where your journey leads....

[@kyle-kotajarvi]

Thank you so much for following along the journey! The kind words and encouragement are very appreciated. Here's to making 2023 into a better year than last.

[@weljenks]
