So much love all the fields. It says it's used
when you are at something aesthetic and emotional but don't
have the energy to type more than three words.

Yeah right, But also I don't think a lot of
people want to read more than three.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Words, So very true.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I'm looking out for everyone who's going to see it. Like,
if they see it and there's a whole like ten

like that because who cares.

the more.

They just put like a lot of boring words and
offense if you do it. But I do do that.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
So the teas and the more wellness or self care
captions what it says that It actually says about you
taking time for me, growth looks good on me, or
in my healing era, or protecting my piece main character energy.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Those kind of protecting my piece is very me.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
It says you're either doing really well or really not well.
You want to package it in a calm, sage burning way.
It says you journaled once and blocked your act. Now
you think you're a guru you're not healing, you're hiding

(04:32):
behind buzzwords and mood boards or projecting your chaos through
your canvas of clothes.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I do journal almost every night, though, so it's not once.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
It is very true, though, those kind of captions only
happen when you're great and you're like, I just want
to help people out. You're like, I'm really struggling and
I need a reminder for myself more than anybody else.
So I'm going to share that.

Speaker 3 (04:54):

a lot, and I truly mean it, because his motivation
has helped me a lot. I've been through a lot
of mental struggles in my life, and I struggle all
the time with stuff, you know, But most of the
time it's because I'm doing great and I want to
help people. But it never comes across that way. People
always like, are you okay? Bro?

It doesn't matter how he could be doing the coolest
thing in the world. He could be look so happy, like,
is he gonna be okay?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
