I love this!! I remember doing a piece of work around this with you & Will be diving into that meditation with this update version of myself. I like both the original and remake of song. I definitely like the newer version of the movie. Oooh this is perfect exercise for me right now x🥰
My song was Patient by Isaia Huron. He remade it as Patient (02). There’s a slight change in lyrics that reflect moving away from suicidality. It’s very subtle but it resonated strongly with me and now the two songs act as a kind of dynamic, dual anchor when the waters get rough.
So the remake is my fave but only because it shows growth from the original. They’re inextricable from one another. Which is a nice way to view the self over time. :)
My movie was the Beast Wars cartoon show from the 90s remade in a new Transformers movie. #cheetor4lyfe
Original animated series wins out easily for me. The cartoon characters are charismatic and simple and the new 3D, Ultra AVX, super duper, flashy transformers movie was cool, but just too much. Less is more in this case. Really nice to have clarity around why I appreciate simplicity as I grow older.
Very very insightful read and I adore using media/art in these ways. Thank you thank you ❤️🔥
Wow, brilliant exercise in pulling out quality from favourite pieces of art! I do appreciate the remake more of the song (Imagine by John Lennon vs. Imagine by A Perfect Circle). As the remake holds more space for a voice that sounds like it's struggling to imagine in a gloomy atmosphere, a plead or a prayer, and yet builds to triumph in the end. Thank you for this.

This was a great exercise, I liked the newer version of the song and movie the best although still enjoying the original. I so agree with you that we view our future selves as the same as where we are now and it’s just not possible. That brings a sense of wonder to my future imagining! Thank you ✨
That's such an interesting topic to ponder on, thanks a lot!
For me, covers are often more interesting but I never miss the original to appreciate it and to see the changes that were made. As for where my future self is headed... well, I'm not sure I like it. I feel I'm becoming weaker and I have no clue where to find solid ground to hold onto. Still... 10 years ago I was not sure whether I live another year or two. So, after all, I'm doing better than expected)
I enjoy the remake of the song only slightly more than the original.
And I love the original film much more due to nostalgia.
If I think about myself in decades of my life, it is easy for me to get caught up in the nostalgia of my youth and convince myself that life was better and I was better, back then.
But, eventually I remember something super cringey and I'm delighted at my evolution.
It does make me excited though for my son as he heads off to University. That's a sweet place for nostalgia to live.
And I can get busy architecting new future steps.
Thank you for everything you are putting out there. I love it all.

Very interesting exercise 👍 Thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing this! It's got my mind contemplating the final two questions and I'm looking forward to journaling more about it.
Glad you like it!
