change isn't scary...

I haven't been vlogging as much lately as I've traveling a lot so I made a short film about the importance of change. Also - THANK YOU FOR 10K! :)

For those who may ask: I’ll be back in CA soon, just needed a little break.

Hi Michael.
I’m a friend of your Dad and he shared this with me today.
It’s a wonderful message about accepting change. Something I struggle with even at my age. Thank you so much.

[MichaelMartello]

I must correct that I did not leave california for good! I’m on a short term excursion and will be back soon. Hopefully by then, the June gloom wears out 😉☀️

[studentfilmmaker]

Need this VERY MUCH! I will be dealing with change as I will be graduating from College next month and change is not something I am not used to with the disability I have. It will be hard to process. The next chapter in life will be there for me as I will look for jobs in the film industry and look for making the move in Southern California soon so this is great. But again change is a scary thing for me.

I'm a lot older than you. Change for me IS scary, beautiful, and exhilarating. It's something I sometimes challenge myself to do and never regret once having done so. Wishing you the very best in any and all of your changes.🍎💚

This was a really great video Michael. A lot of people really struggle with change (including myself at times!). Thanks for always creating consistent quality content 👏

Agree, when something isn’t working for you anymore, it’s time to change it up. Excited to see what new adventures you get up to!

Welcome to my beautiful hometown of Chicago! I visit often especially during the fall (my ultimate favorite season) . I'm still living my Southern California dream, living in Santa Monica, but there's something about Chi-town that I can't seem to let go of either. 😍

Thank you for this video! A year ago I moved from a small European country to New York, and everything you said felt very relevant and comforting, putting the chaos of my thoughts in order.

Hi Michael, no matter where you go - trust your storytelling and uplifting perspectives would continue to amaze subscribers.

I feel this so hard right now! I'm so glad this video popped up on my home page, esp having lived here in LA for a year now. :)

[alexanderschwarm]

Hello! Always such a great pleasure to be on a journey with you! Thank you so much! Looking forward to another and another🙈 looks like you live in a paradise town

[AliciaKim-sl]

No way!! I’ve been watching your videos for the past year and dreaming of Cali. After living in Chicago for a few decades, I’m moving to Los Angeles in a month from now!

Change is beautiful, but I always try to keep what my Gran would always say in mind- "where ever you go, there you are." New places, new expirences can lead to profound change and growth, but only if you're willing to change. Otherwise, you're just going to find the same issues and discontent, just in a new place.

[jackturnbull]

Change can be a great thing. However sometimes you need to realise what you do have, stop running away from your problems and make the best of your situation. You can't go through your whole life constantly changing things eventually you will have to lay down roots otherwise you will end up lost.

Needed this right now. Just graduated college and a lot is changing. Especially where I want to live, keeping an open mind knowing it’s going to be okay.

[EitanNatanzon]

Such a beautiful video. If these are your shots they are fantastic. Best of luck in all future endeavors!!

[donaldhenderson]

Great video, Michael. Thank you for the encouraging words. I really enjoy your videos, and I look forwards to seeing them. Be Strong and Stay Encouraged!

[JoyfulOne]

I've never sat through a video with so much anticipation. All the best on your new endeavors!!!

OMG Midwest is an amazing place. Remember though, unlike out East, our winters are not only cold, but gloomy. Much friendlier than LA people, but I dare say Chicago is a bit more boring. Not as much pulse as LA has albeit charming.
