  • Hi everyone. Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness but strength. I want this video to be an open space for people to share, encourage, and help each other. You got this ❤️

    Thanks everyone. For context, I just had a heartfelt conversation with my entire family talking about some issues that have been impacting each other for decades. My dad finally opened up about how he feels and we are happy to support him through breaking away from alcoholism and smoking. I hope you guys understand that everyone faces problems and I grew up a very different person than I am now. It took so much discomfort, fear and failure to get to where I am now but rarely do you see this side of me through my accomplishments. My youtube channel is not just about documenting my passions & pursuits but to showcase my trials and tribulations. The anxiety. The depression. The boys. The highs and lows of life :) I'm happy to help you on your own journey even though I may be very busy. Thank you.

      there are few things in life that matter but this video is one of them. and it is not spoken of enough. these deep familial bonds that cause us constant inner turmoil. it does feel impossible to speak to them and it hurts even more when you are constantly screaming at them on the inside. glad you and your family members stepped up a level. i came from the math vid and its funny because learning calc is hard enough but living with family members that make getting water feel like a trip to the trenches is rougher lol

    you're such a beautiful person bro. thank you for sharing this vulnerable side of yourself. i suffered from anxiety growing up too and just hearing you talk about the same things i experienced(stage fright, scared to go play basketball, etc) man i just got so emotional . I didn't have many people to relate to when it came to anxiety issues so I really wanna just say thank you for this video. (Also just wanna say I came from the ap calc video and I learned a lot from that and gonna start applying your techniques tomorrow when studying for linear algebra because I have shit time management and even worse focusing skills.)

    Hi, Sigil, I am very proud of you for sharing your pain and vulnerability. You are right, sharing your weakness takes courage and strength. Crying is healthy and is the first step toward the healing of the past wound. I encourage you to write down your feeling and using words to describe your feeling. Write a story about your experience and put meaning to these stories. Writing will help you to organize your thoughts and feelings. Try it and see what will happen when you write down your story. It was nice to see you smiled at the end. As you can see once you talked out loud about your pain and mourned the things you could not control in the past, you are gradually calming down and then you start thinking more logically. Take care and wish your journey of healing gets better every day.

I have my first exam in one week and I’m still out of my mind confused on the stuff we learned in week one, I just come home everyday and get so sad, I’m realizing that maybe it just won’t work, at some point you just have to be naturally skilled at being able to learn and understand concepts….
