Just a 20 something year-old trying their best to maintain their mental during this pandemic. Through reflection, I've realized my own mental health has hindered my progress and enjoyment of life. My goal is to change these negative thoughts caused by anxiety through documenting my day to day ups and downs. If my words help even one person to reassess how they view themselves and their goals, then this will be all worth it.
It can be tough to tell the people you love that everything isn't okay, and that's okay.Check my buddy Laki's channel, Mental Health Casual, down below: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnxGcHSvrpP-MEdw7rxzy0AHere's my link tree:https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson
As I reflect on 2021, I have realized I get a little too rigid about doing the many activities that I enjoy. Sometimes, it's better to just take a break, and remind yourself why you love these activities in the first place.Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson

While social media can be an excellent way to expose yourself to new cultures, methods of thought, and beautiful vistas, it can also be a cesspool and an echo chamber. Here's my take on how social media (mainly IG) has affected my mental health. My apologies for the occasional shifting sound!https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson
This video is more of a vibe check, thanks for sticking with me!https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson
