Staggered Stance

In an ever-changing world filled with fast-paced "solutions" and curated content, I have found peace in finding things in this world that I can control. One of those things is the way I create and conserve memories. In this episode, I go through HOW I choose to create and conserve memories and WHY I choose to do so, because at the end of the day, all we will have is memories.Personal YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@alexwynn.o?si=JlRBNPQpTYPJHSSuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alex.o_sup/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@staggeredstance?si=fflsTvYNkaYNOGDD

I learned a lot about myself this past week, and I want to talk about it! Learning to be ok with being less productive is hard, but through an epiphany I just had, it doesn’t seem that bad.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alex.o_sup/Youtube: https://youtube.com/@staggeredstance?si=fflsTvYNkaYNOGDD

Why buy something and not use it until it no longer works? Why contribute to the production of an item when you only plan on using it once? I learned an important lesson about the importance of being aware of the environmental impacts of the items we own, and the lack of accountability we face when letting these items go. If we aren't aware of these topics, what will become of the world when we never put them into action?Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alex.o_sup/Youtube: https://youtube.com/@staggeredstance?si=fflsTvYNkaYNOGDD
