So there are so many things that I have always wanted to do in life, and being the totally self conscious (did I spell that correctly?) individual that I am, I always refuse to step outside of my comfort zone and just go for it.
Today I wanted to talk about:
I think that YouTube is such a FANTASTIC public forum and vlogging site. Whoever invented it had a stroke of pure genius. My YouTube story is most likely different from most, in the beginning I refused to go on the site!!! I was always so confident that if I went there I would most definitely get a virus. People were always telling me to go and watch this or that and I was forever saying no.
One day, about a year ago (ridiculous right??) I was at my friends house, and she introduced me to a whole new genre of YouTube videos. If you haven't tuned in and watched her videos already, you NEED to go and watch CoralFish19's channel. I found her totally refreshing to watch and completely relatable. Back then, there was no series to be watched or specific day to hope a video was going up, so it was all anticipation. It was fantastic. From there she introduced me to her friend's channel, Tigerlilly06. Both channels were something I came to watch religiously and check to see if new video's were up allllll the time.
Once I finally allowed myself to start enjoying YouTube for what it was, I started to find that there were tons of people that I loved watching! I will put a list of the ones that I watch faithfully at the bottom of this blog.
This post is actually not about why I came to love YouTube, but to explain how insane I feel when I try to make a video to post of my own. Now -- I am well aware that I am not going to be someone that millions of people watch and everyone loves -- and that is not what I'm aiming for. I would just like to create and post my own videos to a community that I have come to feel a belonging to! So I decided to make a second video yesterday -- and then after it was edited and I watched it I felt like a douche, but here it is none-the-less. PLEASE KEEP IN MINDDDD!!! that this was meant to be a vlog and ended up being something I chopped to bits so that I could show the best parts of the video!
I feel so silly when I get in front of the camera and start talking to myself, or to what will end up being viewers. I don't know if what I say will offend people or if it will be relevant to what anyone wants to watch. My mind fills with doubts about whether or not I should even post a video and I start to feel like I'm wasting my time. BUT. Very recently I went through somewhat of a psychotic break-down and the result of it left me with a new outlook on life -- DO IT. Everything in my life is now going to be about seizing every opportunity that befalls me. Wish me luck!
So for this post, my question is this : What would you make a video about if you were going to post one this very minute? I ask this because the next video I would like to make is a story of how I initially became so interested in the site itself, and who drew me in and made me the addict I am today. I will answer this question next Saturday, but will answer with whatever my newest idea for a video is! Here is a list of those people, look forward to that video!!
