These Vsauce videos are time capsules really, with old YouTube, Spotify, Twitter screenshots. And it just brings a smile to my face.

Fun fact: my bf claps when he is incredibly angry. It's an odd behavior and even he doesn't know why he does it, but I do know that a lot of his behaviors are self taught bc he was neglected as a small child. I guess at it's basest level, clapping really is just a release for an overflow of extreme emotion.

Man…whenever I’m in the worst of the lows. I watch VSauce. Like whenever you get broken up with or have been embarrassed by your friends. I definitely look at vsauce. Because it’s actually helpful for your brain. So VSauce I applaud you for helping me during my depression.
