    "The nice part about training is when you can share it, too. Or maybe I'm starting to reach the end of my expeditions, where I'm just by myself. The meaningless sort of resonates way too much when your by yourself and you just wanna share it... you know"
    Damn Beau, these words really hit me hard. As cliche as it is, balance is key. Many great lessons in traversing alone but I think fundamentally we as humans aren't designed to do it all alone

    • @nickmxw5876
      @nickmxw5876 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I think it's likely because the YT algorithm hugely favors people who upload frequent, lower quality videos. Someone who uploads 300+ videos a year will make YT infinitely more ad revenue. It's unfortunate.

    Some part of me wants Beau's channel to blow off, some part not, just like when you find an awesome restaurant but don't want to share it with anyone in fear of waiting lines. But well, there are no such things on TH-cam!
    I almost finish watching all of your videos and trying to prolong it further because of I am afraid that there will be nothing more to watch until next month (?). But Beau's videos are worth a rewatch anytime. Thank you Beau's parents and environment for raising such a great man! Thank you Beau for sharing your wonderful moments with us!
