Hi. Hello. Namaste.
I gave myself today to write this little cool interesting fun exciting spellbinding life-changing i-was-productive-this-is-proof reflection.
Given by the darkness outside and my it’s-colder-in-the-night freezing bum…
TODAY IS ENDING.
Scroll for goofiness, pause for clarity.

There’s been a lot less philosophical growth in the last many weeks than I generally experience, mostly because I didn’t think about life during the majority of them.
But the growth that was grown makes me feel very grow-ed up:
Peace, habits, and lifestyle can be used interchangeably.
Good things catalyze good things.Knowing everyone is cool. But not knowing who to call in a pinch isn’t. Knowing someone is cooler. It makes life a whole lot warmer.
You can live like a billionaire without being a billionaire.
Once the naires make their billions, they realize happiness comes from everything else.
You have everything else.I have a ginormous amount of privilege to wake up with a smile on my face and hope in my veins every day.
My parents gave me this light.
I recognize it.And I love them for it.
Life, LIFE.
Life is energizing.
I’m ready for more.

I started vlogging to memorialize a little boy’s first steps into adulthood.
College was a big jump, and I’d have to go from having free food, free housing, and free everything, to having more free food, free housing, and free everything…
Okay not the biggest change.
THE POINT IS COLLEGE WAS NEW, AND FUN, AND COOL.
Here are a few takeaways:
“College memories” don’t make themselves.
You create them.
You make them happen.Infinite summer vacation is fun, but also tiring.
In-between the chaos, one must make space for pause and reflection.
Burnout is always around the corner.The best videos make themselves.
Beautiful moments need no post-production glitter.In an attention-span-less world, the creative must work overtime.
Every video, song, and aha-moment can’t make it.
Storytelling requires sacrifice.
And it’s all finally public.
I didn’t want to share my art with the world before I was comfortable not caring about how much attention (or lack thereof) it would receive — I do not care now.
Here is the final edition of this season’s vlogs; this time, it’s a goofiness montage.
The future looks creative — music, movies, m-everything; making art is fun.
But till more is made, here’s a playlist with what’s created thus far.
I had a blast creating them.
I hope you have one watching them.
