Hello, hello, welcome to highbrow. I'm your host, Mina, how are you all doing? I hope you're doing well. Oh, I don't know why my

voice just cracked there. I'm like, I hope you're doing well. I'm not doing well. No, I'm actually doing

really well. I posted for like the first time in a while on YouTube, which was, which is always so

scary. I've been doing this job for like three years and for some reason like every time I'm about to post a video I like get the

shivers and I'm like oh my god like no one's gonna click on this video and it's always

just my anxiety talking because ultimately there's always at least one person who clicks

and that is my mom. Hi mom. I got some really

good comments on my video though and I feel like taking that extra amount of time for myself

and to really think about like what I'm interested in talking about that has really served me. I think I've

said this before but just like as of recent I noticed myself kind of gravitating towards topics

that I know people want to hear about. And a lot of the times those topics are not particularly

topics that I'm like super super passionate about. They're topics that I have an opinion on or they're topics that I think are not particularly topics that I'm like super, super passionate about.

They're topics that I have an opinion on or they're topics that I think are interesting.

But I think there's like a difference, right?

There's like a scale, a spectrum, if you will, of topics that I think are interesting versus

topics that I am like truly obsessed with.

And for this past video, I was truly obsessed with what I was talking about,

with what I was like researching. And I think because of that, like I just had a lot more fun with

it. And regardless of the performance of the video itself, I'm really happy with it. And I know it's like

a video that I enjoyed making. And's like a video that I enjoyed making and it's a video

that I will look back on. It's probably my video, my most favorite video that I've made to date,

which is a big deal because I've made like 102 videos now. So thank you all for your support
