I wasn't sure how I would feel about uploading videos. It was slightly nerve-wracking yet incredibly fun. I have really enjoyed learning the process so far. I can't wait to make another one! This youtube channel began after realizing that I have not been taking care of myself or living my life in a way that will make me feel happy or fulfilled. Often the grind of living wears me down.
I had been planning on making a beauty channel ages ago. I would think about it then talk myself out of it because I felt like maybe I wasn't good enough or that people might judge me harshly. I could already imagine horrible comments before I'd even put this into action! How horrible is that? I am often guilty of not being kind to myself. It has taken me years to get to a place where I felt I could finally do this. After I finally made the first video I could not believe how simple it was! I had been holding myself back by getting in my own way. From making one video so far, I have learned:
We are all too important to allow the world to shape us.
We need to be shaping our world instead.
This is my own personal goal- to shape my own world with the things that I enjoy talking about or doing. I am happiest when I try new things even if I may not be good at them. If I'm being honest here, I have been awful at a lot of things I've tried, but THAT IS OKAY. I am not seeking perfection, just happiness. That has to be enough.
With all of this said, I made another video! In this video, I was so excited to share some random facts about myself. I hope that I have inspired or entertained you in some way by the time you leave this post.
XOXO
