I've never felt so seen. Watching Maya go through the same late-night worries and use these techniques to find calm was incredibly validating and empowering. The story was simple, but so powerful. It's amazing that a creator could use an AI video generator to make something that feels so human and helpful. It gave me hope and a few new tools to try myself.
