to janelle, from janelle

Nominated for a Holly Shorts Film Festival!
This past year has been a year of complete transformation. It has changed me in a way I never imagined. When you experience great loss, you start to realize what matters. What matters to me is LIFE. When you are constantly grinding, hustling, comparing, level upping, never satisfied, etc.... it literally can suck the soul out of you and what you do - you start to forget the purpose of life, WHICH IS TO LIVE. I created this video for myself. It’s what I saw, it’s what I see, it’s what I feel/felt, it’s what I went through, it’s how I experienced it. It’s to Janelle, from Janelle. Thank you for your support and believing in me. And, a huge recognition of appreciation for everyone who gave their time and talent to share in this memoir - a visual diary I will have forever :)
With love,
Janelle~

Love you

[@JahdeiOfficial]

Now this is the woman I followed 9 years ago ❤️

[@3arth2naomi]

Thyme part I 100% understood was the relationship scene😢 they were so in sync at first. He became manipulative and controlling and she was unaware. She’s lost herself and he’s gone. I’m happy she’s happier now

[@megbewa264]

To Janelle, this is a masterpiece.

[@MikePeele]

Very creative and I can feel the passion through the screen. Get it "J". Dope Job!

[@gutterqueen]

I cannot find words to describe the way this looks so foreign yet feels like home. It is art you have most certainly created my love.

[@bassbabs6500]

JANNELLE. OH MY GOD. YOUR VISIONS ARE HAUNTINGLY, TORMENTINGLY AND HEARTWRENCHINGLY BEAUTIFUL . i felt everything...

[@TinaMB85]

Those last seconds where you and him were dancing and you were holding onto him and he wouldn’t help you up and then you just by yourself....holy crap💔Dance is amazing how you can feel everything through movement and expression of feeling through the body/face timed with music. You are amazing Janelle. Thank you for making this ❤️

[@rileepierce5887]

I felt this. I cried during this. I felt you. I read your story as if it was my own. This was a peak into your soul in which I am honored to have witnessed. You are a beautiful human Janelle. Thank you💖

[@ttanibrat]

Omg yess me too. I had to rewatch it just to grasp each concept. I felt the pain, the uncertainty, the peer pressure , the “love”, the carrying everybody else’s baggage although ur already weighed down by your own - THE EVERYTHING ! This was beautiful 😍

[@rebeccahammond4429]

I had a similar experience watching this. It was FELT. What a journey she took us on. WOW. This is living in purpose as a Light! Thank you!

[@michellehawkins811]

Life’s journey...many heavy chapters in our book. Your expression through dance & song is so beautiful and deep. Thank you for sharing this with us. We’re definitely not going through this journey alone 🙏

[@bassbabs6500]

the all black clothes scene reminded me of a funeral. i guess she was mourning the loss of her old life and preparing to move onto her new chapter. it gave me a lot of closure just watching the healing from that scene alone

[@EayuProuxm]

Janelle really exceeded herself with this one (and that's saying something). The costuming, the choreography, the concept, the CAMERAWORK, everything is just on a next level. But most importantly the pure emotion of this. Damn, no words can adequately describe this. I'm just truly moved.

[@christaj.2581]

Tearing up. This is moving artwork. Thank you for allowing us to have a glimpse into your beautiful mind.

[@DENADAGRACIA]

Hearing this song for the first time and I'll forever associate it with your art. What a beautiful piece Janelle.

[@TessandraChavez]

Beautiful Janelle

[@MissJanelleG]

Thank you Tessi. Forever an inspiration to me.

[@TheSweetsherrypie]

I feel your torment through your dance. I am a grandma with my my granddaughters , adopted dancers who have been with you through your happiness and shock and pain. I’m so sorry. But this has brought you to a next level of excellence. When you are ready please come to Tucson. We have a large dance community

[@Colorsofshae]

I felt goosebumps. This is an amazing story and heartfelt choreography.

[@Ayannaacosta]

this felt like heartbreak 💔 you told this story beautifully janelle, sending you so much love and strength💛 thank you so much for this

[@donohue1989wtt]

Omg... The notebook ✍️ you wrote down every phase you’ve dealt with as you artistically play out every scene to tell your story in motion with the song 😭😭THIS ONE GOT ME

[@babymunch15]

The creativity and thought behind this is absolutely incredible. I felt each and every movement from everyone who helped out during this. Bravo Janelle, you truly out did yourself with this piece.

[@CadenceMusiq]

Tears. You are and you have such a gift. Please don’t ever stop sharing your vulnerability. We need you 💓

[@geovannagb]

This is special. I felt how genuine and how real this was. Couldn’t imagine the power in person. Your heart and soul is spilling over so much strength. Thank you for being a constant inspiration.

[@RubyWeingartner]

I cried watching this. I know these feelings and am there with you when you dance. Storytelling at it's finest! Sending love

[@athinab1]

Do not have words for this. You used music, dance, acting, and directing to create a beautiful piece. You expressed all emotions so beautifully - grief, hurt, desperation, loneliness, overwhelmed, courage, action, healing, love, letting go - this is phenomenal.

[@tjacobs2754]

Been a supporter for years upon years and I can say with certainty that you have never ceased to tell a beautiful story. Love from the Carolinas, Janelle!

[@tishc.849]

This is so beautiful and truly made me feel all the feels. She just has this gorgeous radiant light that beems from her every time dances an you can't take your eyes off her!! She creates such amazing beautiful pieces of moving art! But I mean all the dancers were amazing, the style, the feel an vibe was just freaking beautiful !!! 💜 💙

[@aliciaruiz539]

Janelle, this moved me in ways I've never felt before, I felt the emotions so much it came over me and left tears in my eyes. So beautiful!! 😭 What's crazy is that I was listening to this song earlier this morning and right after came across this perfection 💖 just wow. you are amazing.

[@asiyasoliel5295]

Wow. This made me cry. So beautiful. Hearing this story so clearly. Thank you for your continuous rawness and vulnerability. Your embodiment and expression is such a healing gift to the collective. Thank you❤️

[@SebinaEvans]

I watched this masterpiece 3 times already. Honesty. Sensuality. Pain. Hope. I truly love this Janelle ✨🥺

[@jclark8337]

The opening shot is so stunning. I can’t stop watching this entire video. It was honest and vulnerable and pure storytelling through dance, all while expressive and freeing. What a beautiful work of art Janelle

[@toilong5443]

Beautifully done. I feel like this was the first time seeing you truly vulnerable in your craft. I'm fan of your movement anyway, but seeing it softer not overly choreographed was very pleasant. I felt you throughout it was really beautiful.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

When I saw that you had uploaded a video I didn't know what to expect. Then I finally got a chance to watch it. Janelle this right here..well it's just...it's beautiful. This is visually stunning, well thought out, expertly choreographed, extremely creative and captivating. Good job chica. You are very talented and it shows. I kept wondering what I'd see next throughout the whole video. Clearly this past year was challenging for everyone worldwide. But you took the things you went through personally the things that youexperienced. And expressed them very well in the way only you could. And you did a great job.

[@stephaniechavez490]

Thank you for opening up, exposing your emotions. It's beautiful, painful, heartbreaking and true. 🙏🏼💗💜🙏🏼

[@candy12334]

This is the Janelle I started watching like 10 years ago. This piece truly brings tears to my eyes. Every movement is explained. AMAING JANELLE

[@jessicacastro5819]

Wtf Janelle!!! 😭 you definitely made me shed a tear! I can feel the changes in this video like if I was physically feeling your comfort, pain, & energy ❤️ thank you for being so vulnerable in a beautiful masterpiece 🥲

[@AllynBurner]

After i finished watching it i felt like... wow. I need to take my time to digest it. It is an artwork. It has so much of a true intention, so many story-lines, so much meaning in every move... Art. Love. Thank you for that, Janelle.

[@alejandracastillo8200]

Wow. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Searched for the music video for "touch it" for a little nostalgia, then the choreography video for the dame song was on my recommended video, now I'm browsing, and I'm hooked. Not only do you have killer moves, you've got an amazing voice. Bravo!
