Hello everyone!
Sorry for being inactive, I don't have much time lately. But when I heard this song, my mind was screaming "ICHIRUKI!! *___*" at once, so I just had to make video.
"Why this title?" some of you might ask themselves. Well, I think every person is a natural egoist. When you love someone, you will want to spend as much time as possible with them - letting go of someone you love or just being seperated from him/her for a while causes almost physical pain. So you try to be with him/her as much as you can. But that "love" is selfish. Sometimes it's best to part ways and then you have to make a sacrifice. Ichigo and Rukia go beyond their own needs. They part, when they have to part and they try to cope without each other, because they know, that's what's necessary. Ichigo let Rukia go, when she said she wanted to remain in Soul Society and gave up being with her in order to become stronger (Vizards). Rukia went to Soul Society to save Ichigo's life, she also let him fight against Grand Fisher, because she knew that this is what he needed. They give each other space. And that is what I consider a love that's deep and selfless.
I myself will have to let go of a very close friend soon. I won't try to hold her back, I know that she has to leave, because it will be one step further to archieving her dream. It's not easy, but that's what true friendship is about: putting your loved one's needs above your own.

About the video itself... I probably could've done better. There are some scenes I think are very pretty, but there are others I just cringe about |D I hope you'll be able to enjoy it, even though it's not a master piece. I hope you'll get the message :)

As for what's to come, I'm remaking my "He's my first mistake" video. I'll use the same scenes and I will keep it quite simple (meaning no texture whoring, unlike this video), but it'll be in higher quality and my new style will come through.

To Mez:
I know you haven't even read Bleach yet, but you've been so incredibly supportive and without you, this video would not have been finished. That's why it's yours. I love you, darling, I'm so happy I met you! I can talk to you about duckie ties and mirror guys, you brighten up my days ♥ Thank you!
