Video Journal: Creating Intentions

I’m working on a larger post that is going to take me a bit to finish up. While I’m uploading some videos for it and trimming the fat from them, I thought I should take a break to put up some of my video journals that I’ve made since being back home with my parents in Virginia. I think my plan for this site will be to put edited video journals with posts, but possibly leaving the uncut video journal up on the Youtube page, so that anyone struggling with something similar can see just the full spectrum of emotions in one video and the steam of consciousness. I hope that these videos will help to validate the struggles and feelings of others in a similar situation. I also hope that letting others into my head will help those who have loved ones in a smilier situation as me, maybe understand more about what they are really struggling through inside.

This is the first Video Journal that I took after arriving back in Virginia. I was a real shit-show after returning to VA – the trauma was real you guys! I’m glad there was an auto-pilot that kicked in for me, cause if I could have – I would have laid down in a ball right there. This video was a month after being with my parents and out of that other shit-show in Texas.

One of the things that helped me and continues to help me from spiraling into feeling overwhelmed and retreating into myself is thinking about what my intentions are.

“What are my intentions with my divorce?”

“What are my intentions with the Army’s Family Advocacy Program?”

“What are my intentions with jail/prison reform?”

“What are my intentions with making money?”

“What are my intentions with making video journals?”

“What are my intentions with this website?”

…and so on.
