Baron Ryan is an entertaining TikTok creator that is breaking boundaries on what you can achieve with one person and an iPhone. His sketches seem inspired by the Wes Anderson cinematic aesthetic, and he packs social commentary with humor that will make you ponder.

This video of him having a contemplative chat with his reflection in a train window is a great example:

I sometimes close my eyes and imagine a hotel and behind every door are all the people I could have been and lives I could have lived, infinite beginnings.

I’m alredy nostalgic for people I’ll never be.

But in the end, you gotta have mercy on yourself, even if you don’t do everything you’ve set out to do in life.

At first you want your dreams to be real. But you realize that some dreams are nicer as dreams. They can be there and you open those doors and live those lives anytime you like on the other side.

Besides, a memory and a fantasy both live in the head.

All the people we could have been. Life could have turned out any which way and every which way comes with its own cocktail of inconveniences. The people we could have been look at us and imagine they could have been us. #loop #life #nostalgiacore
