Jessica: Making Friends at the Holly Shorts Film Festival
A major turning point over the last couple of years was meeting a girl named Jessica. We both had a film play at the Holly Shorts Film Festival. I was with some friends and we asked someone to take our picture. The girl that took our photo was very awkward and there was an extremely long pause as she took our photos. It’s like she was messing with us or something. After the photo was taken we walked into see some short films. The first movie that played happened to be starring the same girl who took our photo and her name was Jessica. It was a movie called “Chicken”, and it was about a girl “divirgenizing” a guy, and Jessica was naked for part of the movie. It was really funny and painfully awkward. I had so much admiration for her to be so ballsy to expose herself like that on the screen. I loved the movie because it was so awkward and funny, and I also really related to it because the story about how I lost my virginity was even more awkward than her movie. We can go over that at a later date.
After the movie I went up to her and told her how much I loved her film and she mentioned that it was based on a true story that happened to her. We ended up spending three amazing days together. I am not sure what happened when I was around her, but my intuition really came through. It’s like she somehow created a safe space for me to see how intuitive I am. There was this weird sense of comfort around her that I can’t explain. It was something that I had never felt around any other girl before. It’s as though we knew each other in a previous life. It was still awkward around her but very comfortable at the same time. A deep connection was formed. It’s like after three days we didn’t know each other very well, but at the same time, it felt like we have known each for many, many years. I was sad to see her leave to New York after three days, but excited to see when we could spend time together again.
