Hey Patrons! I'm so so sorry this is a day late! But man, this cold has been kicking me in the ass. Today is the first day I am kinda feeling back to normal (yay!). And to be honest, I'm a bit unsure about this one.
Maybe it is because the sun is going down earlier and I'm all up in my feelings ;) but I've just been reminded recently that.... Watches aren't really that important. Haha. Well, they are! But they kinda aren't either. ;) Let me explain! So.... I've been noticing myself getting too sucked in to the watch community - and I begin to see myself acting out of character - arguing over petty, tiny things; getting consumed with dumb comments haha. And I've had to remind myself... IT'S ONLY WATCHES! It is only watches! They don't matter that much lol - they aren't worth arguing about with strangers on the internet lol. I've found myself arguing over MILLIMETRES. YES. MM. LMOA. And that's when I realised "Gringa, girl, you need to go get some fresh air" hahaha.
And also, you know, I'm really aware that we are at the beginning of a recession. At least here in the UK. And I feel kinda silly making videos like "is rolex even THAAAAT GOOD?!" when like....... there are people worried about much bigger things. I know this channel is stupid lol! in a world full of more important things!
But for me, it is in times like these where I kinda really need that escapism through watches. Watches and horology really take me away! I just think they are absolutely amazing! And I really want this channel to be a place that spreads joy around this amazing hobby even if things kinda get a bit rough. Watches don't matter... But they are often a symbol for something that DOES matter. Maybe they were a gift from a family member, so they are infused with meaning! Or maybe they resemble something that you are keen to pass along.
I guess this video was just a reminder to myself to keep the important things, the importnat things. Don't let watches take over too much. If there is a point where they aren't feeling joyful anymore, maybe it is time to take a break! But I think I just spend too much time on watch social media ;) haha.
IDK, I'd really want to hear what you guys think on this one. I hope I don't come across the wrong way or anything. Sometimes I don't communicate the best!
