Hey, Ari
Yay, part 2 is out! 🥳 Thank you once again for blessing us with another vid and for being vulnerable enough to share your story. I could particularly resonate with not being able to understand AAVE or slang for the longest time. It took me nearly a year to figure out all the definitions for "yeet" lol.
I'm sorry to hear about your unaliving attempt and about how hard the CBT was for you 😔 Just know that no matter how hard things get, the world is a better place with you in it 💓 I know it sounds corny, but it's true. Also, not to be "that viewer," but *please* be careful with your word choice from now on: RUclips's not a big fan of "the s word" and I don't want you to get demonetized (even though uploading to YT is only a hobby for you atm).
Lastly, I'm sorry to hear about your dad's death. May he rest in peace 🕊

Hey Sole,
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. I’m glad the video resonated with you, especially about the whole AAVE/slang thing-it’s definitely a journey figuring all that out! 😂
I appreciate your support, and I hear you on the word choice. I’ll be more mindful of that going forward; the last thing I want is to get demonetized. But I guess it's also hard to find a balance between normalizing conversations about our mental health and having a trauma-informed space. Thanks for looking out!
And thank you for your condolences about my dad.
