Well, hello there. It's Morgan here. And I need to tell you about the potato account.

0:05.6

So what is the potato account? This is one of my many, many random social media profiles that I've created

0:16.4

where I have started to do these little experiments, where I will just post something completely

0:25.4

random and I will just observe what I've learned from it. I've been doing this for as long as I

0:34.4

have been active on social media. I have many things that I've created and many of

0:40.7

them I've forgotten about. Some of them I remember. A lot of them I don't. A lot of them I can't even

0:44.6

find anymore. But for me, I've always had this practice of even though the internet is a very

1:51.9

even if nobody looks at it or watches it. Let me just try something. So that's been a part of my life

1:59.9

for a very long time. However, there has never been

2:04.5

anything quite like the potato account. So I want to tell you a little story about how I came to

2:11.6

creating a TikTok account that does nothing but show short video clips of potatoes and the impact that

2:21.9

that has made in my life and how I hope that this can be a reminder to just create a little bit

2:30.4

of room to let go a little bit, to release the pressure a little bit, even if there

2:37.1
