A lot of my early childhood was surrounded by lots of negativity. When I started working full-time overnight shifts my mental health really took a nose dive. When you are completely alone, it can really mess up someone.

Didn’t like the person I was, but thanks too mental healthcare such as therapy, martial arts, and having some of the best friends a guy could have. I’m proud to say that I am in a much better headspace and moving forward in a lot of positive directions.

I’ve always thought about it this way:

Just because you don’t succeed at something, doesn’t mean that you necessarily did anything wrong. Success is mostly determined by the people around you, and frankly, by chance or luck. Your effort does play a part, but only a small part.

Understanding this and being kind to yourself allows you to be kind to others. Many people don’t succeed at a lot of things. The problem is, we only hear from the ones that do, and so that gives us a biased view that everyone is a winner.

Just do your best. Evaluate your effort yourself, and don’t use external factors to judge how well you did. No one, and nothing is perfect.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

One of my favorite quotes is “just give up and smile” it helped me get over things that’s wrong with me and taught me to be happy through thick and thin but to all who reads this don’t follow the quote, I gave up a long time ago and I just needed to accept it. So please don’t be like me and follow your dreams become great amazing people

I'm so glad this channel exists...because if it won't be here...

My self destructive patterns include comparing myself to others, masking in order to fit in, and withholding myself from expressing hard emotions, or withholding myself from doing what regulates me and helps me feel safe in life. “I’m not allowed to do that. It’s not ok for me to do that. I need to be like the normal people who don’t do that.” I am doing my best to work to change this and accept myself, to not let other people’s judgment and restrictions of me hold me back from being my true self and speaking up without feeling like I’m just being a weak simp.

My mind is a chaotic mess of randomly cycling trains of thought. Some are weird, some are random memories, some motivation to do things... And then other times I imagine elements of a project I intend to work on.

[adamtaylor]

Quite honestly this video is the story of my life. I don't accept compliments and I think every time I do succeed it was based on luck, and that I won't be so lucky next time.

We're literally taught to think these thoughts.
"You must always be better, you're never enough, they're lying to you" - a balanced childhood breakfast for a whole lot of people served by parents. Then, by teachers. Then, by employers. These thought patterns are guaranteed in our day and age unless you got lucky at birth
