The videos are meant to process thoughts out loud, not to try and sound intelligent. The shorts come from a bigger video that I am taking excerpts from. I'm happy with them! Thanks for engaging!

@@melissaannmiller Thanks! I appreciate it!

@@melissaannmiller Right?! 😄

🤣 FANTASTIC example! 💀

I think its good to consider it. There's also nothing wrong with finding joy and happiness in things that can be taken away. It's more about making sure we have meaningful things to ground our joy as well.

Looking forward to sharing them with you!

Thanks for tuning in and supporting! ❤

I would say that the deeper the meaningful thing is, and the clearer it is defined, the better. Clearly defined doesn't have to mean hyper-specific though. For example, if I deeply value truth and want to live a life of honesty in all situations, even when that honesty makes my life harder or prevents me from getting something, then it is defined enough. Thank you for the comment/thought!

​@@TheRyanMillerShow13 if life had no meaning, wld that make it any less precious?

@@theparodychannel7842 It might, yes. IT is surely worth exploring. I think this is a wonderful question and requires more attention than my comment can allow. I think my starting question is: Does anything precious become more so when it is also meaningful? Would we rather our precious things be meaningful or would rather them not? Thanks for offering your thought!

I really appreciate you saying so! Thanks for watching and sharing. Looking forward to sharing more.

That does sound amazing! I'd love to visit some day!

Time will tell! I believe that is why it is always good to do our part to help keep the world going when we can, and with the things we healthily influence with our strengths.

@ problem is we're fighting against fascist foreign governments who don't play by the same rules and spend billions on influencing Americans to do their job for them. How do you reach a generation who can't be reached and believe only propaganda now?

JK will scroll on phone longer

@@melissaannmiller You got me! Rest well when you get there!

@@matthewhensley5165 Sounds like quite the journey! Are you saying that people bringing up your tattoo sleeve is what made a big difference in helping with your social anxiety?

@@duvadjidgo9625 In the full video I dive into this more. Would be curious to hear more of your thoughts on that. Do you feel like you have a way to make sense of the world around you? To ground you? Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts! I appreciate it!

Somebody's Happy! 😂

These things are very complicated, and I would agree that there is a simplicity it what it means to continue loving those around us through difficulties and difference of opinions, especially when it is hard. Thanks for your thought!

❤

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for listening!

☺

Right? These things often look different than we initially think upon first viewing.

Thanks! Meaning truly adds a lot to our experiences, and the lack of it steals.

Part of the experience :)

Absolutely!

Thanks!

@@melissaannmiller ask away! 🧐

Thanks!

Yeah, to me a mentor's age is the experience they have in relation to what they are teaching, so this person was much "older" than me as far as I was concerned.

@@TheRyanMillerShow13 wise way to look at it

@@melissaannmiller That's a really great idea! ❤

@@melissaannmiller Hey! Thanks so much! There's plenty to go around and the world is better when everyone is succeeding and working together :)

@@melissaannmiller I love archetypes in literature and how they show our development as people. Art imitates life thst way :)

@@melissaannmiller Thanks, I think it matters a lot for healthy communication with children...and adults

@@melissaannmiller 🐧

@@melissaannmiller It often feels that way. We have a culture that struggles with selfishness and healthy boundary setting.

No problem! :)

Me too, I have been pondering it a lot since hearing for the first time about three weeks ago.
