Thank You - Ra Cast Final Farewell

[00:00:00] Yeah. [00:00:01] What you see in the title is the truth. The raw cast as it is is done. [00:00:08] And I'm going to go into why. [00:00:21] It's not that I didn't enjoy doing the project at all. [00:00:27] It was my calling at the time. It was very much a part of what I wanted to do. And even though I won't be continuing the podcast or the uploads, it's still an integral part of my life, and a lot of it has become a form of second nature for me at this point. [00:00:51] So, first off, I want to thank everyone who watched or listened to this material that I put together over the years. I genuinely appreciate and love you all very much. [00:01:08] However, my direction in life has changed dramatically, and how I feel about certain things has changed quite a bit as well. I no longer really have a passion for filming and creating this content. [00:01:25] Mostly it's the editing side of it and also setting aside the time, because in doing so, I felt drained. I felt like I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing anymore. [00:01:41] And since I brought that up in regards to that, there was a major life change in September of last year where I got back into a sport that I grew up playing, and I'm still good at it. [00:01:54] So the intention is to make that my career. [00:01:59] I'm working on acquiring employment in the industry to help educate myself, really, on the way. It has grown over the last 30 years since I've started. [00:02:11] The technology has grown and changed quite a bit in every aspect, from the equipment to the fields we plan. [00:02:21] And you might think it's crazy that some dude in his 30s is now choosing to go pro in a sport, but the sport is bowling. [00:02:29] So it is a lifelong thing that can be done. It's not like football, where you're in the NFL for a couple years, you get your brain damage and your body injuries and all that, and then you're out because you can't physically function at that level anymore. [00:02:45] Bowling is a. [00:02:47] It's more of a mind sport in my experience, and I loved it growing up. I lost connection with it when I really lost connection with myself through high school and then into college and after that. [00:03:06] Now, if you're familiar with my other content at all, you know, I also do car stuff, which is here as well. [00:03:13] That's just a flag that I have up. [00:03:16] I. I do still love cars. I'm still passionate about cars, and I do still have a project car that was on the other channel that will have a video very similar to this one because it's not just this spiritual, raw, contact, related content that I'm stopping. It's. It's all of it. I have no intentions right now to film or share my progress in the sport. [00:03:45] If it comes to a point where that, you know, becomes necessary to help fund it, perhaps. [00:03:50] But right now, I'm going to work in the industry and this is going to be the focus of my life. And in doing so, it will provide a platform to share the love and light that I've been trying to do on this platform forever. Not to mention the fact that YouTube as a platform, it's tough. [00:04:11] Not just in this space, but it's just tough in general. [00:04:14] Once again, I want to thank you all genuinely from the core of my being for sticking it through with me. And I hope there's been something in here that has touched you in a way that really improved your life to some degree. Or at least maybe I planted a seed that will blossom in the future. [00:04:44] This is the last one. [00:04:46] Thank you. And I'll see you all on the other side. [00:04:52] Stay passionate, stay loving, stay bright. [00:04:58] Be the best you that you can be. [00:05:01] It.
