What a journey this has been!
It hasn't been easy, but that's okay. I am stronger for it now, and there definitely was a silver lining to this.
My production methods have changed for the better. More on that in another video.
This was a hard video to film and produce. I have been sitting on this footage for 1.5 years now. This is about the struggles because they damn sure are real. I hit a bottom of sorts, most of that is left off-camera. Pretty hard to film when things get super hard.
The ending is raw, probably won't help my CZcams algorithm, but hopefully, it will help some of you who watch this.
Social media can be so fake sometimes, just in a way that those watching only see the upside to everyone's life. I struggle like most people. Life is hard. Still trying to figure out this thing we live and breathe every day.
As much as my products cost, my overhead eats most everything. These sponsored ads have been a blessing for me.
I hope to change things up a bit soon and get back to some outdoor activities that I love.
Hopefully you guys and gals would like to see some of those adventures as well.
Cheers,
Kris

    Lovely. If you'd spent only a day or so to produce such a high quality piece I imagine you could sell it for top money... But given the amount of time and effort you put in plus the cost of all the materials and other less obvious costs such as power... What kind of prices do these little works of art fetch? Hope that's not too rude a question.

Carlson makes a Super DHA 500 MG Supplement. I used it during my down times. It worked Great for me. I took it for a few weeks and then I started feeling better. This is what I did that helped me.
