As I reach my elder years (can’t even believe I just said that) and I witness things that I actually managed to internalize long ago, they remind me, of meaning, purpose. It’s fascinating as well, that we often forget, fundamental lessons that once learned, we always thought would be at the front of our thoughts. In this, I categorize your channel and content as “Head Food” and regularly share with friends, old and young, the need, to put good head food, in ones head, each and every day. Your channel went on that play list, immediately. Your work, is very meaningful and quite valuable to me. My mother, was a narcissistic sociopath, who was unable to connect with anyone in a meaningful way. She was quite difficult to even be around for any length of time. However, she, was a creative and when she was elbow deep into creating (didn’t matter what, she had quite a few outlets), she was at peace and actually quite a joy to be around. I learned very early on, you can take any medication, to mask or help you get through tough times however, an easier path is to throw yourself into creation, actively endeavoring to “make” and the outcome will be worthwhile in more ways than are apparent in that moment. The problem with TikTok, FaceBook, Instagram, YouTube, isn’t the content itself in as much as it’s taken a large portion of society and placed them into passive audience mode. While this is in all of us, and serves it’s purpose in so many ways, it’s my belief that you have to equally, if not more, portion your time in active pursuits that generate flow and an abundance of so many other worthwhile emotions and thoughts. These are the things that heal us… Music, saved my ass as a teen. Looking back, without it, I would’ve been beyond lost. Later in life, as I pursue the things that bring me wholenes I remember my mother, and realize, the single most valuable lesson she taught me. Create. Can you monetize your creations? You bet, she made significant money off of hers however, as I had a front row seat, that money was the cherry on top, not the reason for doing so in the first place. When we put the money first, our creations lack the depth and meaning that we set out searching for from the start. Don’t lose yourself in the pursuit of money. Lose yoursel in the pursuit, of what it is you are pursuing. Each and every time I do this, the results are phenomenal. I’m humbled by your pursuits and the depth you posess at such a young age. You, are in your path, fully young man, and it’s a joy to consume what you create and always gives me pause for thought and reflection, and quite a few times has taught this old guy, new things. Thank you so very much.
