The Consciousness Behind Creation

Sora2 was definitely the hot topic this week. It seemed like everyone was talking about OpenAI’s latest AI video generation tool, and of course, I jumped in with both feet.

But something unexpected happened after I’d created more than 100 videos. The initial excitement began to fade, and in its place emerged a series of questions that kept me awake at night

Why did I have certain thoughts about mak

Quotes by Camellia Yang  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The invisible threads that connect us across cultures are stronger than any walls that divide us. It's in those threads that we find our true selves.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult

“To belong everywhere and nowhere at once is both a blessing and a burden, but it is also a reminder that identity is fluid, ever-changing with each new experience.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult

“Belonging isn't about where you're from; it's about where you're understood, and sometimes, that place doesn't exist on a map.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult

“No one has ever properly understood me, I have never fully understood anyone; and no one understands anyone else”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“No man is an island entire of itself; we are all a piece of the continent, connected by the stories we share and the bridges we build between cultures.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult

“Belonging isn't about where you're from; it's about where you're understood, and sometimes, that place doesn't exist on a map.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult

“They say you die twice: once when you stop breathing, and again when your story is forgotten. But in sharing our stories, we live on in the hearts of others.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult

“In a world obsessed with borders, I found my home not in places, but in the spaces between them, where cultures converge and identities blur.”
Camellia Yang, The Invisible Third Culture Adult
