Learning New Things About Ourselves Page #6

[Logan]:
I… didn't realize. Well... likewise, you think I'm not concerned with the quality of the product. I do hold that as a priority. I just... well, that's... not exactly MY specialty... Wait, I-I was getting frustrated that instead of carrying on with the conversation, we were stopping to sing that random song but... the song was PART of the conversation!

[Patton]:
Well, yeah! Sometimes talking about feelings can be scary or... -deep breath- ...overwhelming. And it's easier to partial them out in different ways! Better that than internalizing them and hoping they'll go away!

[Roman]:
It... did make things easier.

[Logan]:
So these things that we do sometimes... While they are... silly. They can also be constructive and effective...

[Virgil]:
No matter what we do, logic always has a part to play, Logan.

[Logan]:
Maybe so. Perhaps there is room for me to participate in the conveyance of ideas through... unconventional means.

[Thomas]:
Logan that's exactly what I needed to hear. Knowing that, no matter the medium, information, ideas, and art can be expressed...

[Logan]:
Effectually and intelligently.

[Patton]:
Maybe it's time to ask yourself another important question...

[Thomas]:
Why did I never question people's belittling views on what I do? I always thought people were fair to not take my work seriously. I never considered the subjectivity of what CAN be taken seriously!

[Patton]:
*back to human form* Oh my goodness- breakthrough! I'm getting emotional! Virgil! Hug me!

[Virgil]:
Oh, don't hug me. I'm scared.

[Logan]:
All right, maybe there's some knowledge out there that I... wasn't privy to before. Not that I was wrong! But... I should be open to more sources. Roman... I suppose... I could... be less judgmental… with each idea... you... create.

[Roman]:
*back to human form* Er... thank you, Logan, that, um... that helps.

[Virgil]:
*back to human form* Thank god, I can move my arms again.

[Logan]:
I-I don't suppose there's anything that I could do to make it up to you?

[Roman]:
Aw... Yes, you can become a puppet.

[Patton]:
-squeals-

[Virgil]:
Only if you want to!

[Logan]:
No, you three have proven that it is a worthy form of communicating ideas. So...

[Thomas]:
Whoa.

-mechanical noises-

-beep-

[Logan]:
*as a puppet* There, -ahem-, I am a puppet.

[Patton]:
-gasps- Wooooow! -Hits eye with glasses- OW!

[Roman]:
You Iron... Giant... Nerd!

[Patton]:
You look really good, Logan!

[Virgil]:
Oh wow... you're not made of felt.

[Logan]:
Of course not. I've never felt anything in my life.

[Roman]:
Oh, brother.

[Thomas]:
Seriously, though, thank you, guys. Patton, you were right! When it comes to learning... puppets can still be... pretty efficacious.

[Logan]:
Beep boop! I'm detecting a good word that was used by: Thomas. You're right. This is actually quite… Uh, invigorating.

[Patton]:
It just goes to show you that it's better to talk about your feelings than keep them inside! It's a really great way to begin to work through your issues. Mmmhmm!

[Virgil]:
Well, then, uhm... While we're talking about things, Patton.

[Patton]:
Yeah, kiddo?

[Virgil]:
I don't always like... when you talk about me like I'm some... innocent, harmless... angel.

[Patton]:
Oh.

[Virgil]:
It-It just- it kind of makes me feel weird. Not in a- Not in a... wei-uh... weird... way-um... It takes away some of my uh... Thunder...

[Patton]:
Oh, okay! You got it, Virgil.

[Roman]:
Look at this! Looks like Thomas wasn't the only one who needed to learn new things about himself today! -laughs-

[Logan]:
Hmm. And I am always one for learning. So you're all better now, right Roman?

[Roman]:
Ah... Maybe not... but I won't shy away from that fact any longer!

[Logan]:
Well, you... have my support. High five?

[Roman]:
Oh. Okay.

*Mechanical whirring*

*Buzz*

[Roman]:
You did the stretchy arm!

[Thomas]:
Ah, it's not as gross when a robot does it!

[Roman]:
Yes!

[Virgil]:
Hopefully this means a little peace and quiet...

[Thomas]:
Virgil I owe you and Patton for pushing me to find a solution!

[Virgil]:
Like we said, a, uh... dynamic duo! High five?

[Patton]:
Sock it to me! -laughs-

[Virgil]:
Yeah... *Stretching sounds*

[Patton and Virgil]: Oh!

[Virgil]:
Ok, wha-- uh.

[Patton]:
Hold on. I didn't know you were gonna...

[Thomas]:
-gagging-

[Patton]:
... do it, too.

[Virgil]:
Yeah, no, I thought I'd... go in this time.

[Patton]:
Ok, hold on. *Stretching noises* I got it.

[Virgil]:
Wait.

[Thomas]:
-gagging-

[Patton]:
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.

[Virgil]:
No, it's all good. Ow.

[Thomas]:
What are you... doing? No...

[Virgil]:
Wait. Wait. Annnd...

*High Five*

[Patton]:
Ah! Got it! -nervous laughter-

[Virgil]:
Ok. Yeah... figured it out.

[Patton]:
It... just took a second...

[Thomas]:
Good job…

[Logan]:
Um... one last question... Can you tell me how to get-

[Roman, Virgil, and Patton]: ♪ How to get to Sesame Street! ♪

[Logan]:
No, no! How to, uh... How to get back to my normal self. I seem to be stuck.

[Thomas]:
Well, today was definitely a learning experience for me on multiple levels. Perhaps there's not a glaring issue that we face, but... Asking ourselves the right questions could get us to the bottom of our feelings. Problems won't be solved all at once. It's unrealistic to expect that. But it is important to talk about things, especially concerning reoccurring problems, to think critically about them, not ignore them... and hope they'll pass. It's okay if nothing gets fixed right away. You've taken an important first step. You looked at the puzzle and hopefully got your hands on that first edge piece. Until next time, take it easy guys, gals and non-binary pals! Peace out!

[Everyone]:
BYE!

*new scene*

[Thomas]:
Before we head to the endcard, I have to thank today's sponsor, Skillshare, for making this video possible! Skillshare is an online learning community with thousands of classes in design, technology, and even lessons in learning, which I think is appropriate for this video. I went on there, searched their database. I know so many of you out there are creative individuals. They have classes in art and writing and so many more. So, if you are looking to improve your skills in those fields, it definitely is worth it to check out Skillshare. Premium membership gives you unlimited access to high-quality classes from experts working in their field, so you can improve your skills, unlock new opportunities, and do the work you love. On top of all this Skillshare is less expensive than most learning platforms out there. For an annual subscription, it comes out to less than $10 a month. And the first 500 people to sign up using this link or by clicking the link down in the description will get their first two months free, so you got nothing to lose for the first two months. Definitely worth it to try it. Also, remember that hat that Logan was wearing early in the video? The Cogitating Cap? Well now... you can have your very own! It is now available at our store, ShopThomasSanders.com. Hopefully if you guys visit that site, you'll find something that catches your eye. Any purchases you guys make over there help to make videos like these possible!
