Secondary update:
Iāve been feeling pretty overwhelmed and unhappy since the last month of the semester. Going into the summer I have an internship, job and need to finish the first draft of my graduate thesis. I spoke to my dad. Outside of just reassuring me that Iām capable, he told me I donāt have to prove anything to he and my mom anymore. Iāve already went above and beyond in making them proud.
āYour professors believe in you thatās all well and good, but donāt do this anymore if youāre not happy. You could drop out right now and we wouldnāt think any less of you.ā
I had no idea but my 70+ year old father had actually seen my videos before. He said āI know youāre good at the YouTube thing, Iāve seen it. Thereās money in that too and if thatās when you were happiest, go back to doing that. Donāt think too much time has gone by, youāre still young.ā
Lemme tell yāall, I was bawling. Iāve never felt more liberated in the pressure I put on myself to finish school. Iām not going full college dropout, but now I know when Iām done with this, creating content is where my happiness/passion was at. Be patient with me yāall, one more year and I can give this thing the effort it deserves.
This might make for good podcast conversation once I get my head right.

Life update:
After graduating last spring, I had a couple professors urge me to not waste more time of my life and apply to grad school immediately if I was thinking about it. Considering my scholarship allowed me to finish my bachelorās without any debt, it didnāt seem like a bad idea. And they seemed to believe in my ability so that gave me some confidence when I kinda thought I was done with the school thing. But Iām good at it, so invest in what youāre good at right? So thatās where most of my time/effort has gone the last 6 months. At a certain point I was getting really anxious, it was way more work than I was used to, and I was really wondering if I had it in me. Iām feeling better these days, things under control, grades still high, time appropriately managed. When so much time goes by though, I guess I wonder if anyone still wants me to upload/stream and that becomes its own mental hurdle to get over and just click the upload/start stream button. I plan to soon, just wanted to let yāall know where my head has been. Content creation is always guna be my passion outside of school/professional life, itās just been difficult for me to find the consistency in this phase of my life so far. Iāll have it all balanced one day.
Still love everyone thatās watched me grow to this point. Hope lifeās been treating you fairly.

Whatever sparks my creativity for a video will end up here. Usually that ends up being anything basketball, fitness and video game (specifically NBA 2K) related. I tend to put some personality into anything I do so if you like my channel, videos or humor, we'd probably get along. Check me out!
