We spend so much time worrying about things that don’t matter. The book Memento Mori from Cryptic Lore is a powerful reminder of what truly does.

Thanks Gohar - I am in high school right now and sometimes I get so caught up with extracurriculars, I forget to have fun and explore the world around me. This will really help me out.

This guys editing is crazy, so clean. I can't imagine how much work this is!

[speedysonic]

This came out when I needed it. Thank you.

A video similar to this one inspired me to learn crochet, i am now skilled in a ton of stuff just a few months later from Youtube, and anyways its quite easy and overall relaxing, you just need some yarn and a hook, then search up a begginers tutorial, practice, and a month later you can probably switch colours make some plushies maybe, or just do a small scarf, so yeah if anyone wants to learn it will at most cost $15 to get the mininum supplies and just get started.😄

Another good idea: Call that friend you haven't talked to in a while and check in. Human conversations verbally can help build networks

I love doing the daily (and weekly) travle, it’s a geography game that requires you to link countries geographically in the shortest way possible.

[keyboard-smash]

Some suggestions for activities:
- collect stationery
- start a bujo (literally just use a physical BuJo notebook as a daily to-do list, reminder app, and a log of what happened in your day)
- go outside and walk around in your neighborhood until you are no longer bored
- read a book! Literally not enough people _actually_ read those days
- draw/write smth for your fandom idk
- make origami
- etc.

IDK if my comment will be seen, but I totally appreciate your videos. They are informative, not boring, and has no ego at all

[Niko-sk]

thanks man, i honestly got straight A's and i never thought that i would make so much progress in 6 months and all the teachers in my middle school say i am the "smartest" in all of my classes. But again thanks man i already subbed and hope you have a great day 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[PsychoPills-yxlc]

The collection one resonates with me the most. I collect all sorts of things: rocks and coins are the most common of mine but I also have some obscure collections like one of the elements of the periodic table and another of Science News magazines. Love your content Gohar!

[AnshD-YT]

He a real one for bothering his siblings

[CuteCowRoblox-nmvo]

9:34 the quiddler puzzle is really fun. It’s run by the same company as set. You have cards and have to form words. It’s actually a lot like scrabble 😊

[김정은Official]

travle is quite a good puzzle game, it gives you two countries and you have to find a way to get from one to the other by crossing the least amount of borders
