awww thank you so much. it's all a part of the process. i'm really glad we can support each other in our journeys 😄

ahh, you summed it up so perfectly. it's okay to drift back into these old ways of thinking and being influenced by all the programming. i think i'm learning now to accept that i can be uncomfortable and at the same time really full of a lot of joy. i think i had to have everything perfect to finally feel content, but now i am really, really trying to focus on making it so that i can be content with whatever is in the right here and right now. thank you for your comment. this discourse is so appreciated ❤️

thank you!! that means so much ❤️hope you're doing amazing. much love as well 🫶

im burned out 😭

ah okay thanks! i'll keep that in mind. do you think i should just upload the subtitles to youtube so they can be turned on and off or just burned into the video?

love u

🧙 gryffindor up in this bizzz

the first follower is more important than the leader 🤣

thank you for the kind words!! it's almost like create or be consumed. i've had a lot of trouble being honest in my life, so it's really liberating to create something that's honest to myself. i have a love/hate relationship with social media because i waste so much time on it but when i post and create stuff, i can find people like meee. i think community is so important and that's what has been lacking for me.

@@winnieletsgo same here - actually taking time to engage in the comments section has helped me feel more sense of community online, as well as helping me feel actively engaged in the content I'm consuming. Good stuff!

it’s a relief.. now i need to delete all the duplicates . i am planning to write an app to detect and delete duplicates. what are some things that you do to remain minimal / organize files?

@@winnieletsgo wow that app would be so helpful!!!! I definitely had a moment like you with a huge file transfer, during which I sorted and categorized into folders as needed. Sorting by year and topic was helpful, naturally. Now it's more a game of sorting, categorizing, and deleting or saving as I go - by preventing buildup in general and organizing intentionally as we go, we prevent moments of buildup that take more energy to sort (kind of like our emotions, lol)! As far as minimalism goes with digital files, it's like physical things - be honest about what you need to keep and what you don't, and if there's anything you want to keep (research papers, resources, etc.) but aren't using, you can offload onto a different database, hard drive, thumb drive (if people even use those now lol!), or whatever is helpful. By keeping your immediate computer storage as clear as possible, you can eliminate the mental fatigue that we feel when things are disorganized. If we didn't feel that fatigue, we wouldn't be driven to organize at all, I think. Also, everyone has a different capacity for what feels right when organizing, so there isn't a real right or wrong - this is just how I approach it! Hope this is helpful and loving your content!

IT"S OVERRRRRRRRRRR. how are you doing?

thanks! it's all a part of the process. i love the idea of redevelop. reminds me of this alan watts quote: "“A scholar tries to learn something everyday; a student of Buddhism tries to unlearn something daily.”

🫣

thanks for watching! hope you're doing well!

what's that? 🤔

yeah, i see that. i think what i meant is not that it's directly taken from someone else but more it's a reminder that others are not making it, so that's where the guilt comes from. i agree most things seem zero-sum but actually aren't. i think this comes from limiting beliefs. thanks for the comment!

thank you! haha glad it resonated. hope you're takin it easy

thank you brotha. hope you're well

glad it could help. hope you are taking it easy 🫶

we just have to take it step by step. ❤️ healing is not linear. we must be kind and gentle with ourselves first. i think from there we can spring joy and love to those around us from a true place.

i think what i meant is not that it's directly taken from someone else but more it's a reminder that others are not making it, so that's where the guilt comes from. i totally agree that the world is abundant! i never thought about the distribution being key, but that makes a lot of sense. thanks for the comment!

@@winnieletsgo I wish you the very best, my friend. Let’s continue to win together.

it ends in THIS generation.

aww, thank you. i’ve been feeling very discouraged, so this means a lot❤️. what are you studying in undergrad?

will do! hope you had a good weekend

🕯️

so distressing 🫨🥲🥲

yeah, wire connection is definitely my blindspot. just been running rclone 24/7 on my laptop for the past 2 days over wi-fi 😰 i should have reached out to them right when i realized but i pretty much have all of the files from google photos downloaded at this point.

yeah i am using a 8TB hard drive to download everything 😂 i am dumb and was downloading over wifi but i almost downloaded all of the files from google photos using rclone. i will use google take out for the google drive stuff!! thanks for the suggestion
