As a new year floods in, here’s a real, raw 2022 recap. This year, I traveled to a foreign country, hiked in ten national parks, and visited 21 states. But, it was also a year of uncomfortable change. Anxious thoughts. Separation from the few people I love.
I made this video as a way to cope with the raw feelings that accompany isolation. I love traveling alone, but feeling alone is a completely different feeling. I hope you can relate to my recollection and explore isolation with me.

okayyyy purrr. I loved seeing this video and its commentary indirectly about being in our 20s, at least for me. being so young, life and the future can be consumed with a fixation on dreams, a fixation on the not yet or will be. joy is found in the present & cannot only be in the next or will be. if not joy will almost always never be now and we deserve hope and joy now. love it, Noah, fr you're hella bold and I am so excited to see whats next for you.
maybe you're just lonely? would it have been more fun with someone special to share the experiences with. stop punishing yourself and find a companion.
