I wish things didn't have to change

Hi all, this is a bit of a weird video, but I was traveling this week to help move my grandpa into a place he can get some more care. It's been a pretty difficult week, but I got away for about 30 minutes to put this video together. It's just my thoughts on life changing, growing up, and facing difficult things. My hope was to be encouraging, so I hope this doesn't come off as too negative 🙏 This is just where I'm at this week. Thanks 💚

I know I feel like we're the same age we were when we graduated college but now I'm so old 😭😭

I appreciate you opening up and having this talk with us. I agree with you that things move really fast. I can't believe I'm already 22, I feel like I was a teenager in high school not long ago. We all come from different walks of life and growing up is filled with ups and downs. We get more independence to do stuff but at the cost with more responsibilities and challenges we may not have dealt with before. I admire you're vulnerable enough to admit you had a rough week with what's going on with your grandpa. And your cover at the end sounded great. Honestly you singing in an environment with no cell service was fitting for the video's theme. Keep striving 🫶

Man, I'm catching up on some comments I missed somehow 😭 I'm sorry! Thank you! I was hoping this video would connect with people as things change and we all grow. I definitely think life keeps getting better, but also things are unexpected and there are a lot of difficult things. Hope this was still encouraging at the end of the day!

Thank you so much! 🙏 I was hoping you'd watch this because I consider you the king of all nostalgia 👑 getting your approval is the best And I know.... It feels like it was not too long ago, but I haven't felt that way in so long. I miss those days
