You nailed the exact thrill I feel watching my teenage son race (cycling). Regardless of how well--or not well--he places in the race, it is thrilling (and emotional!) to see him inhabit his body and push to the edge of his physical limits. And it's also why I leave the videoing/photoing to someone else during the race... I just want to watch with my whole body and cheer my heart out. It's a thrill and a gift. Thank you for putting it to words!
This hit me right in the feels, as a former dancer/theater kid. There is nothing like the rush of being on stage. Or live performances, where you dont know what will go wrong. Of being so deep in the role/dance that it's an out of body experience.
Last summer, we went to the eras tour. And I'm simultaneously so sad I didn't film more, because the clips I have are precious, and grateful. Those moments were lived, and I feel them deep inside me.
(The mom guilt of missing a piece that your kid wants filmed. I feel that too.)

so beautiful!
so lovely. You capture it so well, this feeling that resists capturing!

it's such a toggle between wanting to capture it and wanting to live it!
this made me feel love, and loved. 😭♥️♥️♥️
It’s so hard to focus on the present. My summer mantra is “the future is none of my business”. It’s helping ❤️
