Paul, I loved your story. I equate it to parenthood, my son has autism and epilepsy. If parenthood isn't hard enough, any childhood diagnosis can throw a mom across the boat, break her ribs, and leave her without breath and words. I had to figure out how to accept, navigate new waters and make changes to my environment to survive and that's what my son does every moment of every day. Find ways to block out environmental wind, waves, swells, and stay in control to manage his and others'behavior. Thank you for sharing and Happy Easter!

Who the heck is whispering in the background

[costin_ilie]

The noise from the background is really annoying 😡

[xJamiiieeeex]

For a minute there, I thought I was losing my mind!!!! The whispers are super creepy lol

[jordainv]

looking to my left then to my right no one in sight just riding this wave, trying not to drown nor cave. Chaotic energy feels like a heat wave. A positive mindset of what a great day feeds her soul since no one wants to hear what she has to say. 365, I am just trying to stay alive. Imagination pairs with the reality of life as she strives in the night, only with the stars and moonlight above dreaming of the Milkyway, oh the waves. Time doesn't wait sister, she thinks to herself not even for the waves. please don't leave me behind the mean ungrateful begged, oh as she waves, she waves, she waves. She is tired of riding this wave. 7 min creative Tedx Talks challenge to cope with life challenges in a healthy way.

I'ts your perception of the environment not the environment per se

[sluistrader]

Do you guys not hear the whispering in the background 😂😂😂

[W-Sfire]

This is very very TRUE, Ext environment MORE important that so called INT environment as former usually moulds later seldom other way round. That's why I'm coming suffering moving out Toxic environment of Singapore society, living, env. Yes, that little affluent regional bastion of wealth, ..or shd I say "wealth" - coz many I know (including myself), esp if you're 'misfit' Eurasian minority like me, life and living here can be downright impoverishing, whether you have the mileage or not. Spare you detail here.

Woa, that's a feat most pp can only dream of -rowing pass Atlantic. But from that, you gleaned Supreme Truth that mostly PC pp/so called psy/soc experts are always hard-pressed to admit - coz no no, u shd h never blame things situations the Env open around you for anything as you/your response what matters. Yes I'm small sense, but Bullocks greater scheme of things -Yr ENV IS yr DESTINY. thank you for shining light on TRUTH that PC people always fight shy off. Not right/good to blame locality, township or even country (as in my case) for your own impoverishness (materially / spiritually) coz u might make that place town or country 'LOOK bad's Aah Ah, Not suppose to to that, no social credits for you.

I'm not superstitious but I thought it's kind of spell in the background. The whispers are creepy though.

[Goddessworld]

It’s god that’s sails that boat go find your lord!

[Anniecurls]

[MrCamjo]

The whispering in the background has ruined the overall message of this video, sad.
