I'm am enjoying all of your video series

[@Jackalope_Wren]

I really enjoyed this whole video and the mammalian dive response thing blew my mind too!
I especially liked the end and I wanna write something out that I paraphrased from this video that I want to remember as a sort of affirmation:
“You’re not alone. Whatever you’re dealing with, someone else somewhere is going through it in their own way. I’m not alone. There are other people all over the world dealing with similar challenges and though we may never meet or even interact, we’re here and we’re getting through it each day. Together. You can get through it. We can get through it.”
Thank y’all! I think the work you’re both doing is helping people so much and is indeed saving lives.

I love that as an affirmation. Thanks for listening!
