βI used to say: βI like to watch TikTok, or YouTube.β But I donβt really like to describe myself that way anymore. Because if you think about it, thatβs not really something you do. Itβs just something that pulls you in. It made me feel connected. Like, I know this person. But I really didnβt know them at all. And Iβd sit at home getting sucked into this endless void of whatever I was watching. Windows closed, AC on. My dad would say: βGo outside and do something, it builds character.β Β Most of the time heβd only say it because he wanted me to take out the trash, or go on an errand with him. So for a long time I didnβt think it meant anything. But it really does, if you think about it. Because every time you do something, it adds to who you are. You learn from life. Recently I joined a group called The Veggie Nuggets. Thereβs seven of us: me, my friends, a couple neighbors. We made a mural. We made a garden over by 69th and the bridge. We lobbied a little bit at the capital for climate change, because itβs kinda a disaster. I had to develop a certain mindset when I did those things. I had to affirm to something. I had to be motivated. And thatβs a real thing, Β motivation. Itβs a trait. And now itβs part of my character.β
