In this episode of Morning Coffee Thoughts, I talk about my recent move to the US, a new job, and some recent realizations I've had. I also talk about how politics doesn't matter as much as I used to think it does.
00:00:00.040All right, what up guys? Welcome to the Just Pearly Things YouTube channel and welcome to Morning Coffee Thoughts where I give my thoughts over morning coffee.
00:00:06.820This is where I talk about different lessons I've learned in my life, things I'm going through, updates to the channel.
00:00:12.860So today, you know, it's been a second, so we have a lot to go through.
00:00:17.820The first thing I wanted to update you guys on is that I have officially moved to America.
00:00:23.260My dog's over there, but it took me like two weeks to get her paperwork done.
00:00:27.920guys if you are 21 and thinking about getting a dog I would recommend waiting until you're at
00:00:35.120least in the country you're going to be in for a while because that was the biggest pain in my ass
00:00:42.760to get my dog to this country but we have officially made it um and we have moved to
00:00:48.300Chicago so a lot of people have asked me why Chicago you know that's the gang capital of the
00:00:54.420world. That's ghetto. That's blah, blah, blah. You guys don't really like Chicago. I will say
00:01:00.340Chicago is a great city in the summer, but I don't really live in the city. It's pretty far out. So
00:01:07.200the city problems, I don't really have to deal with.
00:01:14.880And my family's out here. And in my thought, I thought, you know what? I'm just going to get my
00:01:20.800stuff to Chicago, come here for now. And who knows, I might switch at some point, but it's just
00:01:27.520easier. There's a studio here, cheaper than what I'd pay otherwise. So today's the first day we
00:01:34.840start building our studio. So hopefully by August, um, we can have something up and running
00:01:42.400officially. Um, and I wanted to tell you guys too about some realizations that I had recently. So
00:01:49.560politics doesn't matter as much as I used to think. Now, you guys know on this channel,
00:02:00.380I would say I'm somewhat politically aware. I don't really follow the international stuff.
00:02:09.160But I talk about things that are political, maybe the pay gap, you know, men's rights issues. And I
00:02:15.860zone in on that specific topic because it has to do, you know, I cover culture relationships and
00:02:23.700I do think that stuff is connected. But for the average person, you vote every four years
00:02:31.600and I don't think politics affects your life as much as you think.
00:02:40.180and there's not much you can really do about it you go vote you do your part
00:02:46.820and I used to think it mattered a lot I used to think it said something about the person
00:02:53.740what political party they voted for and when I was younger my dad would tell me because I was
00:02:59.760pretty politically like I would go to turning point events I loved like watching Ben Shapiro
00:03:04.280dunk on feminists. And the older I get, the less congruency I see. Like I was on a volleyball
00:03:11.880team in England, right? And to be honest, guys, sometimes it was a bit tough because I'm living
00:03:21.320this normal life as a volleyball player and I'm, you know, saying these super controversial things.
00:03:26.480So sometimes it kind of was a bit awkward. Some of the girls didn't really like it. Some did,
00:03:33.020you know, it just depended. But one of the girls who was like the nicest to me over the years
00:03:37.900had the, like, she was a diehard feminist.
00:03:43.760And it made me realize that I don't really care what religion you are. I don't really
00:03:48.480care what political party you are. I care about how you treat me.
00:03:54.900That's the most important thing. And so many times people use politics and a religion as
00:04:01.440a substitute for being a good person. And I've been dating a guy for a bit now. And I don't know,
00:04:14.040he makes me think a lot. And one of the things that he made me think about is that
00:04:27.200in the next 10 years of your life, like what is really going to change?
00:04:37.640You know, like Nick F, right? I'm trying to YouTube, please don't dox, you know,
00:04:43.520his thought process is we have the wrong people in control.
00:04:50.600Well, even if that's true in the next 10 years, is that going to change?
00:11:01.260some of my employees were from like Africa
00:11:04.860and they came from literally impoverished places.
00:11:09.940i think sometimes women in america have no idea like and i know i'm privileged but
00:11:20.840it was just interesting to see like it's like the pot calling the kettle black it's like
00:11:27.080you guys are american you've had access to high level men you can make money off of social media
00:11:32.780i know what i was getting paid to be there and i would assume they were getting paid similar and
00:11:37.880And I'm thinking the audacity of you guys to call me privileged and we're all getting paid to sit and talk when, let's be honest, there's men smarter than us, better than us in every way.
00:11:51.480They're better at getting their point across, more intelligent, everything.
00:11:56.380Yet we get this opportunity to talk about sports.
00:12:00.620They're putting all this money into a sports show.
00:12:02.520And I'm thinking, you guys realize, like, I don't even really watch basketball.
00:12:14.920And I was like, I get this opportunity.
