Sound Bites
"We always have time to do things. It's what we prioritize in our lives that we make the time for."
"But if we really simplify those things we have, it makes our life much, much easier."
"The anonymity and facelessness of Twitter and X and even to some degree, the comments on Facebook and Instagram have allowed us to just say things we would never or should never say in person."

    I have no idea how or why the CZcams algorithm suggested you. I follow zero mental self help channels and your view count is so low that I feel like someone would need to be specifically looking for your content to find it. It could be from voice skimmed phrases through my phone that the algorithm is picking up from my workplace (medical with lots of mental health related stuff). Iv watch about 3 videos and I really like your content and would be happy if you keep making it. I thought "what is this guys qualifications?" I was thinking, social worker but nope high school English teacher. Great job 👍

    21:53 As I was listening to this whole video, I also had some beginner Japanese vocabulary audio playing quietly in the background (it says a Japanese word, and then the English translation after it). Right after you said the part about some disturbing scenes staying with you from that one book, the word "kowai" (怖い) was mentioned, which means "scary." :o Hah! It was kind of funny, because I wasn't really paying attention to the Japanese audio since the volume was turned down so low, but that word suddenly popped out! Such timing! haha

    @Kyaro8888Cari Před 6 měsíci

    Yeah that part around 15 minutes reminds me of an interview of Trent Reznor from the music band, Nine Inch Nails. He used to do drugs and in his process of getting clean, he really struggled with a fear that if he DID stop the addictions, then no one would like his music, anymore. But that's not the case, with him and other artists also, like you are suggesting in this video. Although the energy that goes into the music (anger vs calm) might attract different groups of people who resonate with whichever emotion is embedded into the tones. This is a good video. I'm a new subscriber. I like these, so far. I appreciate the deep thoughts. I'm still in the process of figuring out my unique thing that I can share with the world. I thought it would be gardening (creating a food forest to share with others), but each time I try to garden over the past 1-2 decades, it keeps getting blocked, so to speak. (Due to moving around so much and never actually having my own land). So my second option is to "do energy work," and share that with others, although I'm still trying to figure out what my own personal special "thing" will be. (I'm 43 years old, lol... Wish me luck. '>.> )

      Thanks for listening. Basically, Rick Rubin point says we need to nurture those creative endeavors. Even looking at some of our attempts which may not succeed; however, we can take aspects of these projects and shape them into something else.
