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
Lovely post, great that you've decided to embrace Youtube! Completely agree that you shouldn't let fear hold you back :)
