Choosing a different path in life, one that breaks away from the norm, can often feel lonely. The pressure to conform is constant, with those around you eager to pull you back to the familiar and the comfortable. So to walk the path that is truly your own, you must first connect with who you are at the deepest level — your emotions, your desires, and what truly drives you. This journey requires stepping away from what society says you should be, and instead discovering your truth for yourself. In the end, life is about making deliberate choices, setting your own pace, and defining your own purpose with each step forward. This film is a reflection on the courage it takes to follow that unique, authentic path, even when the world encourages you to turn back.
Back in 2021 we shared a story featuring Theo, called “Being Simply Beautiful“. It has received almost 2 million views to date, and comments continue to pour in, sharing appreciation for this man and his journey. We’ve also received many questions about his personal situation and how he sustains his chosen lifestyle.
We recently heard that Theo was building a food garden on a farm near where we live. So we decided to use the opportunity to revisit with him to bring you this follow up film, answering some of the many questions that we have received.
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch the first film, Being Simply Beautiful, here -
