hi YouTube it's Akilah obviously and that I haven't been on YouTube in a
minute been working on other things but I dabble in Internet as I'm sure that
you do I have a strong Wi-Fi connection and sometimes I end up on apps like
Instagram and I've found that I'm really tired of the internet for a very
specific reason right now which is just that like everything has been said
everything feels that over-done except for like whatever childish gambino and
Donald Glover is doing like that's working but everything else just feels
stale and I think part of the reason it feels so stale to me is that it's a lot
of cliche crap specifically the captions on Instagram it's not all captions that
bother me it's not like captions that are there for people with epilepsy or
just very descriptive of the images like I'm fine with that I get it but
it's a lot of this bad advice and cliche overture that just makes me
wanna run into traffic so I'm just gonna go through my own timeline and show you
some of the stuff that I've read recently that has made me vehemently
anti captions we should all be like Beyonce who has zero captions on her
pictures. Her pictures speak for themselves because they're amazing
here's one it's very long so let's just get to the part that I think is great...
terrible... "trying new things can be scary but how fortunate
are we to have the opportunities to do so" -- like like everything on Earth?
like I don't even this is so vague that it drives me crazy like time is linear
so everything that happens after this hasn't happened before
so let's just seize the opportunity to experience what would have happened
anyway like this is a waste of time you didn't have to say anything it's a very
beautiful picture of you in a meadow look we get it. now this photo is just of
a girl's butt so and it's not Meghan Tonjes's so like it's just a butt and
advice to be myself as if I had so many other options
this is just cliche it's not even advice it just says uh we take pictures to
capture moments otherwise gone yep that's what photography if you did it I
don't understand why people think they have to say anything anyway Instagram is
a visual media just post the picture but I swear you find the best things when
you're not looking I don't think you're really finding things if you're not
looking like things are either happening and you're just experiencing them or
you're you find things that you are actively looking for that's what that's
how you find things like again this is just a beautiful woman sitting in front
of a bunch of books that I'm assuming she didn't read poetry falls from the
sky does it does it and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane
by those who could not hear the music so again just a caption with no credit cuz
that's like really cool and then don't let them stop you says the like
societally beautiful woman dancing I don't think that the caption was
actually for her I think it was a for people who might be afraid to be
themselves because society doesn't like them as much but again it's getting a
little deep this one's a friend come on it says you're never alone in New York
City I'm alone 99% of my time in New York City like I worked most of why no
freelance like when do we see people I guess the point is that she's in New
York but she also lives here so it's that like weird like people feel
compelled to say something when there's silence and that's how captions on
Instagram feel like what maybe we should all just be quiet to enjoy the silence
let's not try to figure out everything at once okay thank you very helpful I
was gonna try to figure out everything at once but now I won't incredibly
insightful another thin beautiful woman it all can wait
again this is a picture of somebody who's in a very fancy dress and what
appears to be a suburb and again like it all can wait like tell that to the IRS
you know like I don't think that that's true it all can't wait don't forget to
make your full moon wish this person is from LA so yeah it's one of those like
the moon and the crystals and the rinsing them and the poof I get it sure
thank you for the advice here's one that I'm sure you've never heard before
always follow your dreams thank you really really insightful and then here
we have you know beautiful Beyonce with nothing you know why because she speaks
for herself the images are enough we've accepted it
I'm gonna keep coming back to this refrain of Beyonce's perfect but also
from rain flowers will grow that's true but rain also makes the weeds grow so
who are you helping I'm a travel addict on the road to recovery are you are you
addicted to travel you like got a second to get across what are you talking about
you're not addicted that's travel you're being paid to travel this is actually an
ad for your luggage why staying hydrated this one bothers me
only because it's very obvious like you're not dead so there's some amount
of water in your body the fact you are human so what three fifths of your body
or something it's a lot there Congrats on being alive Doug oh it's an ad for
water great golden hour I only want authenticity in this life of mine real
moments people and experiences this photo was taken in LA submitted without
comment dare to be brave this brave person is wearing a very cute
matching set on a bed don't know what so brave about it
but again I just don't want advice let me just cut this off because none of
this is going to be helpful I feel like there's so much content on the Internet
and we live in this like content culture where people just have to post for the
sake of posting and it's a talk for the sake of talking and
nobody have an opinion about everything but opinions become nothing and it's
making me like this nihilist it's just like we're all gonna die who cares I
don't wanna be that person I care about things but I also don't care about your
Instagram captions and I am probably guilty of having crappy Instagram
captions and I'm gonna try from here on out to use them sparingly because if
it's not adding anything then it's not adding anything and there are books that
we should all be reading thank you for watching
you should follow my Instagram its Aquila h-naught it's just
Aquila hazel you'll see it and I'll see you soon with another video
look at me I'm back bye
