Original Youtube Description:

Simple concept, but big in my book.

I stay in my lanes, & MIND my own business. Just because you have a platform & an audience. Doesn't mean you should comment or have an opinion on everything.

For example. Here lately, I've been getting suggestions to dive into college life, relationships arenas. I don't have the authority to speak on those topics, they ain't my lane loves. I quickly point this out, that it's not my place to say anything. (Is it b/c I have a baby face? I've been seeing a lot of angel numbers & signs lately. If something isn't my lane & it's suggested to me, I'll just say it. I'm not going to pretend to be something I'm not, what you see is what you get, flaws & all)Look here's the thing. I'm painfully self-aware.

This is what helped my Youtube grow, is scratching beneath the surface to figure out my whys & where my strengths lie. (I think my spiritual guides & ancestors are playing a cruel trick, bc there's no way I would touch college life & relationship subjects on any of my platforms with a 500 foot pole. Whyy loves. Now maybe I'll look into college sports ONLY in the future, but even with that, I'm just a casual sports fan learning. I just show up to the games, be supportive & shut up. & leave my opinion out of it, I'm not out there playing. Who am I to judge & what do I know? They don't need my advice, they got this. That's why they hire a coach. They don't need my 2 cents from the sidelines. It's like being a back seat rider, & you not driving. Don't share your opinion unless it's asked...Know your lane(s)

Now, things that are my lane: Food, animals, being childfree, video games, how to not be jealous of others; Traveling solo, fitness, martial arts (I took two styles growing up, & want to take on #3 when my surgeries are over), taking bricks & turning them into successes just to name a few. You can have more than 1 lane, you just have to find out which ones are yours & which ones aren't yours.

If you do the work, & scratch beneath the surface, the truths will be revealed to you. (Sometimes some hard truths are revealed to you, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a part of who you are).
