I love this so much. Decluttering, physically and mentally, and letting go of what no longer serves you. Keep Keeping On... but stay on YouTube please, I liked your check-ins :)

It’s been a while since I related to something I’ve read more than paragraph 3…thank you for your gift to articulate your feelings so well and in a magical way that your readers also feel seen just by reading. Thanks for being you, Devon. Sharing your journey is helping with mine and I expect many others. 🙏

Devon, your scale of "fucks given" is perfect. We too often live in a black and white, yes and no, in or out world. Your scale defines the nuance, the color spectrum of "engage", but not at the expense of your emotional well-being.

You can tiptoe to the edge for a great view, just don't take the last step off the cliff.

I like the fact you went analog and put it on graph paper. That's a nice touch.

Love that drawing, I’m going to save it and use it for my own life if that’s okay with you

Devon, I truly enjoy your writing. Your ability to articulate makes what you write so relatable and real. I appreciate your thinking and your feeling!

As I reflect on your words what comes to mind is the thought that sometimes we have to make our world smaller to actually make our world bigger—I hope that makes sense to you because it does in my head! And it seems to be a theme I have had to embrace in order to enhance my perspective and to experience greater fulfillment in my life.

My world opens up when I am more present to what is right in front of me.

Exactly right! I feel like I have much more capacity now that I am more focused and present in the real world right now, right here!
