This post is going to be short one but I wanted to bring your attention to a YouTube channel that I really enjoy run by Chevee Dodd. He runs a show called The Daily Shed which is "a YouTube series with new videos, Monday thru Friday. This is a sort of talk show… not a vlog… and in it, I discuss topics suggested by the community and then we all have fun in the comments." Each video is normally between five and ten minutes long and could be about anything. He talks about things going on in his life, shares other YouTube content to check out, shares wood working projects he's doing, talks about board games and that industry, and a whole lot of other topics.
Chevee's openness to share personal stories is what really drew me in over the past few months. I used to check a video out here and there when I saw a topic that was interesting but now it's something I look forward to every weeknight. I've even gone back and watched nearly all of the episodes he's posted. So if you're looking for new content in any of the areas I mentioned above, please consider checking out his channel. Here is a recent video from the show that I enjoyed:
I don't want you to think that I stopped caring. Loss is an incredibly hard thing for all of us, but I especially struggle accepting the end of anything. When we think of loss, our minds immediately go to death because that's loss in its most permanent form but the end of anything can cause similar feelings. It could be the end of some sort of relationship (family, friend, work, romantic, etc.) or even a form of media like a television show or podcast. Obviously the latter examples aren't nearly as serious because they are designed to end, but one could argue that so are nearly all relationships. We have this idea that once we know somebody and have any sort of connection to them beyond waving at a neighbor whose name you don't know, that there's an obligation to keep that relationship going forever. It's not realistic for this to be true for a long list of reasons. When the thing that brings two people together ends in some fashion, it's natural for that b...
I'm struggling right now. I'm searching for direction, trying figure out what I want to do in my life. I'm working on being a better person and want to get more fulfillment out of the work that I do. Instead of focusing and creating a plan, I spend way too much time on social media. It's easy to get lost in the lives of others, hilarious memes, constant "breaking news" updates, and the seemingly non-stop political coverage that is this time period's blood sport. So for at least the month of February, I'll be taking a break from Twitter and Facebook (they're the only platforms I use). I've already deleted the apps off of my phone in an effort to help break the chains, so to speak. The hope is that I better use the time that I used to spend just mindlessly scanning through those feeds. Other than using that time towards working out whatever it is that I'm going through right now, there are a bunch of other things that will easily fill...
A year ago I posted the first of these month wrap-up posts and I'm proud of myself for keeping them going. Some months have been leaner than others with the content, but I like to come back each month and share what's been going on. I think the fact that I do these posts has affected my yearly goal of posting three times a month because I could do individual posts for some of these sections. However, I really like this format and it feels less like work which always makes me want to keep doing something. This October was the busiest between work and home of any month in years, but it was all really good.
