Welcoem to posts!!

In tomorrow's video I will talk about how to survive a breakup. How to get over a divorce and so on and so forth.
I'll be discussing the mindset you need to get into to start healing from whatever it is you're going through, how to learn to love yourself and most importantly how to reconnect with your hobbies and the old version of you that used to give you joy.
Pictured above, the sign I used to have up in my living room when I started dating again. It was very effective.

I took a couple of week off to collect myself and finish some video games tbh.
It's been a rough year. I've poured my heart and soul into this YouTube channel and I loved every minute of it. Learned a lot and genuinely connected with a lot of interesting, valuable and amazing people. This is a fantastic start to what I hope will be a long and fruitful community building exercise.
Thank you all for watching.
I have a couple more videos cooking but I will take a few days off during the Christmas holidays just cause grinding 24/7 goes against everything I'm preaching. So I'll post a couple more videos and then it's off till 2025.
Still looking for a job. Still trying to make THIS a source of income. Still gonna show up to try and give you some insight on how life works...or how it doesn't.
Thanks for sticking around. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for listening.
Let's keep going.

It's been a rough couple of weeks. I haven't been working on videos mostly because I was sick and feeling a bit burnt out.
But I got a new one cooking for next Tuesday.
I'm thinking we might be back.
Yeah we are back.

Remember Le Drapeau? The Parisian coffee shop I visit on Tuesdays to write? Well this isn't it.
Le Drapeau doesn't take debit cards, so I had to find another place cause fuck going to the ATM in the year of the lord of 2024.
This one's still across the castle, on the other corner.
Anyway, I'm working on the next batch of Shorts as well as the next video.
Meanwhile...thinking what else I can offer in this channel to help people become who they want to be faster.
Also toying with the idea of streaming some video games while talking mental health. See the ADHD tax struck again and I signed for another year of that livestreaming software I subscribed to last winter.
Might as well....

I was one of them kids that was repeatedly told I was "born under a star". The gifted ones. The ones with the talent. The kid to whom everything came easy (except sports).
Turns out that's not a good predictor of success! Who knew!
It LOOKED like I was very good at several things out of the gate, but only because I never persevered at anything I wasn't immediately good at. Not long enough to make a difference in my skillset anyway.
I quit too many things too early. And in the process, I forgot how to learn.
Next Tuesday's video will be about this. What happened to the gifted kids. Why are we all burning out. And what can we do about it.

Most Tuesdays I head out to Vincennes, sit across the 12th century castle that sits on the border of the park, and have myself a little latte. I do a little journaling, and then I write about the things I want to talk about in my next video.
Iāll rough out some ideas for TikTok content and then Iāll walk home.
Iāve been chasing āhappinessā for years now, but the other day I caught myself staring at the castle from the cafe across the street and thinking āIām happyā.
Cause it finally landed on me that happiness is not a goal. Itās small bursts of joy that happen to you if youāre open to receive them.
And then I went āhuhā¦thatās what the next video has to be aboutā.
Finding happiness in the little things around you.
You knowā¦little things like a medieval castle within walking distance of your houseā¦but I digressā¦
Next video out on Tuesday ;)

Listen, everyone's emotions are running on high today, so have a pic of my doggy.
I want you to remember something. The world needs you. The world needs creative people and dreamers and people who feel like they've yet to peak.
When the pandemic hit, people turned to art. They turned to music and movies and books and bread making for some reason.
But that's just that. When the world is changing, people are gonna need people.
They're gonna need you.

Some kid on my comments called me old this week.
So let's talk about it. For my next video I'm gonna give y'all 10 things I wish I knew before I turned 46.
Number 6 is "exercise" and yes I hate that it works.

I'm hungover and stressed and tired but my dog is happy and healthy so I can't for anything more really.
Now where was I...
Boundaries. Next week I'll be tackling boundaries. I'm bad at it, you're probably bad at it, someone in your family is DEFINITELY bad at it.
I want to deep dive inside my head and try to figure out why it's so difficult for me to say "no" to certain things.
I'm sure it's nothing...
Leave a comment if you have a specific question you'd like me to answer!

It's been raining all day here in Paris which means Jack is spending his day napping under the table.Ā
I've been talking about spontaneity this week, and posting some shorts to add to the last video that went live.
The questions this week is how do we live spontaneously while having strict habits, a schedule, and routines we need to follow?
The answer is in my last video.

We have a saying in Ecuador that goes "the devil doesn't know more cause he's the devil, he knows more cause he's old" - so anyway, I've collected some life experiences since 1978. Still figuring stuff out but I'm here to share a little bit of what I found life to be.
