    2 things- 1. it's unbelievably comforting to be a big depresso baby hearing someone else echo ur angst and hopes around being a human at peace someday in this world pls don't stop 2. u must drop the music recs we're all just teen girls in dresses tryna feel smthg in one way or another

    I met a girl from NYC who goes by moss piglets and she always expresses her true rage whenever she doesn’t think someone’s joke is funny.

    as a closeted trans girl, I 100% resonate with this so hard. Figuring this out is definitely one of my primary goals.

    Two Minecraft therapy episodes in a week? We've been blessed

    true self expression is probably the most difficult thing to answer.
  • @Phoca_Vitulina
    For realz! Good topic <3 I'm currently living abroad in another culture and language and having a really hard time expressing my true self whatever that means in that language. Like it's already hard enough being depressed and an introvert, but like I feel like I've gone backwards 10 steps. I wish I could just be myself, but the fear of being judged is too great sometimes and my social anxiety just really takes over and I end up standing out by being awk/quiet :( Thanks for the video too! We've def been blessed with 2 eps in a short time! You got this!! <3
  • @bh3302
    Man I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for being so transparent and inspiring.
  • @nerd26373
    As an introvert, I support you. Keep going strong.

    i love what you said about the desire to realize our ideas being a part of what makes us human. these past few months have been tough and i've asked myself the same question pretty much every day: WHY am i here?? the idea that i can just search for what i truly enjoy doing instead of pretending i'm okay with half-assing whatever i'm "supposed" to be doing is super comforting, so thank you for that 💛 also, as others have said, i'd be so down for more music analysis/appreciation vids from you 😎
  • @quintencabo
    17:00 its not really about being happy but about finding meaning. Self expression will give you meaning not really happiness
  • There is something so entertaining about these videos and i relate in so many ways to you
  • @chakrasandwhich
    I really appreciate your videos I feel the same way about life and being my authentic self in this world you’re definitely not alone . It’s hard but your video made me feel like I shouldn’t take everything so seriously thanks!!! Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
  • @ThoseThreeGamers
    I find these videos so cozy and comforting. We are both around the same age different in many respects but echo similar anxieties
  • @km72327
    The cave spider deaths in this video were pretty funny. I like how you never seem that frustrated when you die in these videos, even though you know people are going to see it. I wish I had that level of chill. Maybe that's an indicator that you actually are pretty good at self expression. Also I'd definitely watch your music opinion videos if you made them
  • @EstherDwomoh
    Ohh, how I’ve missed your videos 💜 Excited to watch this before I sleep!

    You should really look into internal family systems therapy. The inventor Richard Schwartz has done a bunch of interviews and has some great non technical books. A lot of what you said near the end are often referred to as "exiled parts", and they can really pull the strings in a powerful but secret way in one's life.

    On 29:00 "We" didn't make machines, a very small handful of people did and they don't have to farm anymore and are free to pursue their passions, we did not. We're free to spend the rest of our lives dancing for these people or making machines of our own.
