This reminds me of my one sorta viral video

TLDW: constantly watching "soothing" videos as a form of trauma healing (it's actually likely only symptomatically addressing the problem and not tackling the root cause, like you said)

didn’t know you had a youtube! love how open and reflective you are.

(and agree, btw, in those types of soothing videos. similar with “motivational” videos.)

I haven’t posted in a while 😅 want to get back to it but more visa style vlogging to my future self kind of thing (I did a lot of gimmicky stuff that I no longer want to do but as you can imagine, we all need to go through these phases 😗)

Would you consider posting videos?? I would love to watch Jibran videos.

I actually _am_ posting videos! Visa style riffs and vlogs, even! 😁 Plans is to do much more of those in 2023. (And it’s one of the things I chose to experiment with in my instance of the 100 day challenge.)
