Damon talking to himself in the mirror is a big mood now that I'm in quarantine

[@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.

[@damondominique]

✨Just remember ✨ THEY AIN'T GOT THAT BOOM LIKE YOU DO! That's another classic RNB song from 1999, btw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYXbgntre52AiZo No but really, they don't have your *boom* (and alternately, you don't have their *boom* - and shouldn't try to have it)! ❤️

I agree with this so much. At this moment in time I'm realising this too.

[@lrkelaursen4966]

[@Melissa-kq4ss]

I was looking for this comment because that's exactly how I feel! I keep focusing on what I'm lacking and doing nothing to change my circumstances. Like, we're better than that. The world deserves our energy

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

[@dilaraguney]

You may put on makeup, you may work out all the time, you may wear expensive clothes and such, but if you are not doing any of those things JUST FOR YOURSELF they will not make you happy. Real happiness starts by getting to know who you really are and what you actually want.

Interesting tidbit: American Sign Language has a similar linguistic structure as French because it came to the States by a man named Laurent Clerc. There are even some signs that are based on French words.

Damon is the only person who can spit motivation at me or tips and I will ACTUALLY take it on

[@salehabakhtiar3121]

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!

[@BrandenScottStewart]

"if you don't give yourself time to grow as a person you'll end up a zombie" is a quote I need on a tee shirt. This is great, Damon!

[@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'.

[@marillaz4582]

Rebecca Wahl I actually never picked up on what that meant, so thanks! 😊

It’s so funny how your conscious just prepares you for the new chapter in your life. I bought 20 books/videos on 3 languages( before this virus broke out) and I’ve been taking this time to learn them and it has been an exhilarating soulful experience.💋trying new things even if it’s for a day can open you up to whole new world 🌎
