when you said we now have "time to take our time." oh my GOD. you're so right. like we have all this time to better ourselves and do what we've been wanting to do and everyone's just sitting worrying about when we'll be able to get back to the same stuff we been complaining about!!!! your brain Damon.

As a wise sage once said, Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

[@anacandidasf]

This video felt so therapeutic, it made me think of many of my internal struggles.... I've be sinking into to them, just wasting my time really.... and it's not worth it. Hating who you are and where you at in life and then doing nothing to change it while still postponing your own happiness till it all magically work out? Why the hell would someone do that? It. Isn't. Worth. It. I wanna turn my life around now.

This video was exactly what I needed, I have personally stopped overcomplicating my day, so instead of forcing myself in to a routine and forcing myself to pursue my old hobbies, I do what I enjoyed doing more recently e.g journaling.

[@TiaTruly]

Definitely! Good job! Routines don't work for everyone, or past routines may not be the best for right now. I also had to stop trying to follow other people's ideas of the "right routines" and instead follow my own daily instincts. Some habits make me happy, like making my bed every morning. But some days if I stay in my pj's and just read a book all day, that's good too! I am not accepting anyone's judgement anymore!

[@reebie40]

Random fact for you Damon: When artists use the term "X", like, "Peanuts X Marc Jacobs", it literally means "cross" in terms of collaborating to produce a limited edition product. The term is less intimate than that of "and" or "with", which hint at a longer lasting relationship. .... I'm sure everyone on the planet is aware of this fact but whateva'.

You said it, Damon. We were all complaining before, and many are still doing so now.

😂"Go eat some noodles" that bit of the fight was hilarious... this is the first time I've watched any of your vids, it put me in such a great mood. I love the way you edit and express yourself. I can't go for a walk or a run but my building does have a rooftop {I've thought about running around in the parking lot but I'm shy to}. I try and watch the sunrise every morning but it's been cloudy for a the past couple of days. The moons been full and its a grat sight to see when it peeks through. When it comes to being productive and working out I've been more off than on. Lockdown laziness 🙈 whilst I was in uni I would wish for time to catch up and work on being ahead. As well as to work on my creative endevours. Now that I have the time.. I'm just binge watching stuff. I did start my youtube channel. It's in the crappy stages right now. But it's something I've fantasized about doing for a while. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it. Wishing you all the best during this time, love and light💕 Vi
