You know what I'm saying?

But I've just found that I recently have been really gravitating towards this idea of, you

detachment in life to things and not in the way that I ever would have expected, right?

Because I really judged this concept.

I was like, detachment means to be completely removed, like to remove from something, to unattach, you know, you're attached to something that you're not.

And I think digging into the nuance of it, okay, to be detached from something can mean if you want it to be

to just loosen the threads a little bit, you know?

It doesn't mean cutting the threads completely.

It just means loosening the threads a little bit.

And I will say there's other areas of my life where this sort of concept applies.

And there's other areas of my life where I've sort of already kind of been doing this, but this sort of discovery of like the concept in a love context actually also helped in other areas of my life.

I would say my career is a great example of that.

I would say I've been working on my attachment slash detachment to my work life for a while now because, well, I think it started in the very beginning when my career began because the particular career path that I chose is pretty unpredictable, right?

You don't really know what tomorrow brings.

There are a lot of really complex variables in a career like this.

Not that that's like a bad thing.

It's kind of neutral.

I mean, there's complicated variables in every career path.

But I would say in my particular one, it's quite finicky, this career path.

Like you could wake up tomorrow and nobody wants to watch your YouTube videos.
