Nostalgia is more than rose-colored glasses—it’s the ache and beauty of memories that shaped us. *These Days Will Be A Memory* is a short film about why moments matter, how memories make us who we are, and why we should cherish the present before it slips away. Whether it’s childhood memories, lost places, or the people who changed us, nostalgia reminds us that even endings carry meaning. This reflection invites you to pause, feel deeply, and remember: someday, these days too will be a memory.//Get Connected and buy in to the Sunrise Culture! https://linktr.ee/sunriseloungecast⁠.

**Enjoy this special edition minimalist cut with no music and essential edits only!**What if chasing success is quietly eroding your sense of self?Is it wrong to want more out of life? Or is that quiet discontent trying to teach us something deeper?

You’re not alone—and the questions you’re asking might be the very beginning of real wisdom.Take 10 minutes. Sit with this.

I never thought I’d make this video… but life has a way of humbling us.This is a raw, unfiltered confession about what happens when your goals collide with real life. If you’re a college student, young professional, or a guy trying to juggle ambition with responsibility—this one's for you.In this candid, unscripted video, I open up about burnout, perfectionism, and the pressure to “have it all together.” Between sleep struggles, demanding schedules, family life, and the grind of working a job just to keep the lights on—staying consistent with your creative process or personal goals gets *hard*. Really hard.But the point of this video isn’t to complain—it’s to **show you that you’re not alone**. And that progress is still possible, even when life is messy.We talk about:* Letting go of the “all or nothing” mindset* Choosing consistency over perfection* Balancing dreams with real-world responsibilities* What I wish someone had told me earlierThis isn’t polished. It’s real. And maybe that’s what we all need more of right now.//Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/sunriseloungecast⁠. Support the music artists!
