I found this video on youtube a few weeks ago and it helped verbalize and break down a question I’d been asking myself since last summer – sharing and reading infographics on social media can be useful, but does not replace taking actual action. She also makes a really interesting point about how much the most widely shared infographics are based on the aesthetics versus the content. I found it such a helpful video for me to reflect on this big question.

Hi there, thanks for tuning in. As you may have seen I started making Youtube videos for fun. I’ve technically had a channel since 2017 but only posted a few videos!
I called these hacks because they are less so broad life philosophies and more so tips and tricks to slowly work towards a happier life.
If you have any video requests, be sure to let me know :-)
Here is some music I’ve been listening to! Shoutout to Maddy, aka Mr. Moist for the rec:
