It’s been a little while, but I have been slowly working on the next entry about my mental health incident. It’s still hard to write about because of the memories and many things that remind me of it, but doing the first entry about it was hard too and I was able to get that all out. I still plan on releasing the installment, but felt it was time to change things up so I don’t drain myself.

Anyone following me on social media already knows this, but to anyone new here, I decided to finally start making videos. TikTok has become an escape for me and it’s helping me take my mind off things, so I looked at a lot of ideas I’ve had for a while and realized many of them are actually a great fit for TikTok. That and watching others’ videos is bringing me some much-needed levity. Other life stuff is improving too and I’m pursuing lots of big goals.

Splitting my time between the blog post(s) and TikTok among other things is helping me a lot with my mental health. Obviously, the sooner I finish the entry the better, but draining myself emotionally & mentally from focusing on it and nothing else isn’t healthy. At least now I can balance out my time better and still give myself time to be productive in some form even if/when I’m not working on an admittedly-intense blog post.

I’m brainstorming lots of ideas, experimenting with them is really fun, and I also like showing my own take on trending audio & memes. I never thought that TikTok would be my starting point, but it really does make sense since it is short video content. Starting small and then growing towards bigger projects was always the idea, so this is perfect for me. Plus, since a lot of videos on it are humor and personality-driven, it’s a good fit for me and I can just goof around as I continue to get a feel for how TikTok works.

It feels nice filming & editing again, and it also feels good to finally show myself in video form. So expect some good variety. The personal growth-themed blog posts are still going to be a thing, but I also need to do something lighthearted and now I can share that.

Enjoy the videos! I’ll see ya soon.
