Continuing on the topic of Mental Health...

... I came across this video yesterday and it continues the trend of professionals responding to representation of their fields of expertise in popular culture and entertainment. This video was very interesting and I'm now actually hoping he follows in the steps of Dr Mike and LegalEagle and puts a channel together if he has the time and resources.

The History of the World, Every Year


What an amazing video - I was pretty much glued to the screen for the entire 20 minutes. It will require a good few re-watches to get a hold of the things you miss while trying to keep up with everything that happens, y'know, in analysed recorded history, but they will be just as captivating, surely.

An incredible job by the people involved. Trying to picture the timeline and everything that eventually pulls together to create the tapestry that makes up a life, the history of a single human being, is a huge enough endeavour, let alone the movement of every single human through time.

Looking from the outside and then diving as far and as deeply in as possible only continues to emphasize the beautiful and insane complexity of the world. It would be amazing to be able to Dr Manhattan view it all, but hey, these kinds of videos are a pretty great glimpse.

Cheers, History.

A lovely moment, courtesy of YouTube and the very awesome Woltersworld

One of my favourite channels on YouTube is Woltersworld, run by Mark Wolters. A taste of his simple, but awesomely informative, brand of travel advice is below. 




I'm not much of a commenter on YouTube these days, but I genuinely enjoyed this video (as I do pretty much all of his videos, which I discovered in a bout of reminiscence upon my return from Germany) and I was also recently back from my most recent trip to the Philippines which only intensified my burgeoning obsession with travel so, in answer to Mark's question posed at the end asking viewers what they loved about travel, I answered as per the comment below... and received the loveliest reply.



Though he does actively reply to many comments, I was still genuinely touched to receive such a heartfelt reply and even more so to be told that my words were a source of support and motivation for his continued work. 

However brief, honestly such a nice moment among the flood of crazy that is the interwebs.
