Hello, it's me. I've got a lot of hair, I've got a spot brewing on my face and I've got my own merch on and I've got my brain on and I'm gonna give you some advice today. Anyone wants some advice? I was gonna make a musicy vid but nothing's working so I gave up asking me about things you'd help with. Yeah, I really wanted to do like an improvised improvisation, improb- but improb- oh my god. improvised music thing where I like made it up as I went along but like my microphone wouldn't connect to my computer for some reason. I don't know why and I don't want to deal with that right now. Also this mic on this camera was like only picking up audio on like the right side so if it sounds weird I'm really sorry. Let's get right into it though. Shall we? I think we shall do that. That tall house says food 200 pounds data 50 pounds rent 800 pounds custom order statute of Cape Town 100 27,350 pounds utility 150 pounds please help me budget this my family is dying. Personally I think that that looks like an excellent budget. I think you've done a great job. I think you just need to work harder and get a better job. Just get just get a real job and then maybe you can pay for it. Darwin the tortoise says any vegetable recommendations. I'm really into egg plant or also known as Objian here in the UK. I kind of prefer to call it egg plant it's a more fun word. My dad will like slice them up really thin and then bake them with a bit of salt and pepper and it's like a little it's like a little potato chip but it's egg plant egg chip. Thomas says how to deal with having no friends in high school. High school really doesn't matter as much as you think it does especially like friendship group wise. It might hurt in the moment when you are there and you're lonely. I definitely understand that but it's such a tiny part of your life and once it's over it won't even matter anymore man and that time being spent alone will help you learn how to be more compassionate to people around you so if you spot someone who's looking lonely or looking sad you'd be like hey I know how that feels I'm gonna help out and that's a really cool thing so deal with it by using it to learn about yourself and about how others interact with each other. Ultimately you're not going to be lonely forever you'll find somebody no matter how unlikely it seems right now you will. 100% there's no doubt in my mind about that so hang in there Thomas you're gonna be okay. Robyn says how the heck do I pet all my dogs at the same time I have four and they get jealous easily. Get some of those like sticky hands that people like slapped each other in the last room get like four of those and put them between your knuckles and then go slap slap slap slap Cosmic says I get real sad sometimes about being aero. I'm quite young and I'm pretty sure I'm on the aero spectrum and every now and then I really wish I could feel romantic attraction properly. If you didn't know this about me I am also on the aero spectrum I think at least for now my change doesn't really matter to be honest I get this sometimes I I understand that feeling of like people being a love looks so cool and it looks like such a happy thing and you kind of feel left out because you're not able to feel like that. I think definitely for me the energy that would be going into romantic love is channeled into platonic love so I love my friends so intensely and actually it's important to not separate platonic love and romantic love so much people kind of view romantic love is like the next level up from platonic love but they're both in the same level they're just different kinds of love and they're both equally as important so if you're able to view it as equal rather than as something better which you're not able to experience then maybe that might help you feel better about it but pet says how to accept failure anything bad that you've been through anything bad that you've done you can use it to better yourself and to learn and to not make mistakes like that again and stuff so I think just try and find out what went wrong why why it was a failure whatever it was so you can pinpoint something that you need to improve on or they need to fix ultimately that's that's a positive thing to be able to find negatives and you know know how to improve on that and stuff Dylan says how do you go over the fear of singing in front of others for me it's really just being practice as much as like you don't want it to happen and like that's what you're scared of when you sing in front of people it's kind of good for you to eat shit a bit sometimes and just realize how it feels to have a performance that goes really badly so then you can learn how to deal with that and how to not let it get to you as much there's no one way to feel better about it instantly it's it's all about time and practice ee-v uh it says it's a bit of a word question but how do I deal with really insecure people a lot of a friend of mine was like do you actually like me sometimes I'm afraid you think I'm weird of course I told her nothing was wrong with her but now I'm kind of scared to be my stupid sarcastic self around her since I don't want to hurt her it can be hard to kind of be careful around insecure people and some that can be sometimes irritating to have to keep reassuring them being used to be patient and talk to them and just kind of understand what it is that makes them insecure and make those changes to do what you can to help them feel as comfortable as you can sometimes it's like we're really tiny things just like checking up on them sending them a text saying like hey thinking about you stay how you doing or if they make a joke just laugh in the long just tiny things that from their point of view seem massive can really make a difference with their self confidence Chloe asks how to write a catchy tune and once you do how do you get people to listen to it the more simple the better basically simple and repetitive is what you want to do if you like really listen to like popular songs it's all like nursery rhymes it's all has that same kind of sim simplicity to it just take a step back and be like hmm is this too complicated maybe we should strip it down a bit as for getting people to listen to it just put it out there as much you can just show it to as many people as you can and if it's gonna be like it will be liked and people will listen to it if it's a good song but you can't like make that happen it's luck really. Blundle plus says how do I feel more at home in a place that doesn't feel like home I live there by the way I'm not just trying to fill out how many grocery shops I don't know for me it helps to make a room feel more homely by putting things on the walls whether that's my own drawings or posters or like pictures of my friends just like memories like parts of me also I like really soft lighting like if you get a lamp and you like point it at the ceiling and it diffuses and it just looks really warm that can be really nice I get that feeling though because I've had to move house a few times and I still live between two different houses so it's hard to feel at home in both at the same time but I always bring things with me that I just always with me so it's like my home is these items basically for me it's my laptop my phone my music my switch now I'm really into I got a switch and I'm playing Zelda for far too long just little things like that bring them along with you and that's like a portable home daddy says how do I tell someone that I don't want to be their friend anymore oh if you know them online it's easier you can just kind of slowly ghost them but if it's in person yeah oh it's like a close friend oh well that's so tricky I guess it's important to pinpoint the reason you don't want to be friends with them anymore like if it's something they said to upset you or something that they're doing and if you did really care about them as a friend or if you still do I think it's definitely worth talking to them about it and trying to fix it making sure they know if it's something that they can change it's the same thing going back it's this it's the same as with a romantic relationship with romantic relationships and very close friendships you don't just ghost them you talk to them about it and you if there's something to fix you try and fix it um and if there isn't you let them know about it and you talk about it be like hey this is my issue and if we can't change it then I'm afraid I don't want to be friends with you anymore there's no real kind of clean way to do it but I think that's the healthiest way is to talk about it what if a friend is making me have awful suicidal thoughts because of the way they treat me throw the whole friend out Hannah you deserve better than that Joe asks how to make all of the songs you write sound like they're they belong in the same album have you heard one of my albums Joe there's no rules like you don't have to do that nothing has to match up basically when I write an album I'll be writing songs just anyway and then once I get to 12 songs and just match them in an album there you go that's it put it on put it on Spotify I don't know I think it's more fun to just like go wild and make them all sound different and just experiment with all the kinds of sounds you want to but if you really want to make them sound the same I guess use similar instruments maybe you can create like a theme like a running theme throughout the whole thing so that whole album tells a story how to play bar chords on guitar use your thumb all the strength is in your thumb you got to like pinch the neck of the guitar you got a pinch it you got a pinch it I guess you could try starting out using a nylon string guitar or or are you clearly with softer strings but yeah it all of the all the power is in the thumb so just keep doing that and lift some weights with your thumb only and then you should be right on track hi again wow it's later in the day my my card it was full and I just forgot to finish or film a ending to this video yeah I hope some of that advice was helpful or if it wasn't I hope you just enjoyed looking at me for a little bit thank you also much for being so patient while I take a bit of a break from videos as I've said before my life is going pretty crazy right now in a good way I'm doing great so don't be worried if I put out a poster video for a while I'm working on some new songs working on lots of cool new things really looking forward to November and December shows yeah I'll see you next time uh yeah goodbye oh also also leave a comment down below if you're excited for switch animal crossing I know I am bye
