    Your videos always speak to a part of me that I feel is so difficult to express on my own. So many people have told me I should paint or draw for money and things like that but that's never been me. I want to make my art at my own pace and for myself, not be subjected to taxing rat race of selling or making just for others. I want to write and I want people to see me as a writer and connect to my work, I don't want to just crank out a book full of all the viral clichés that says nothing and is at the end of the day forgotten. I want the things I do to matter.

      1000000%.. and I think there's no right or wrong way to do it, as long as we are satisfied with the way we regard our work. i sincerely believe it is so much more interesting (and rewarding to me) to find a raw, authentic voice that is so unique in the sea of over-optimisation. keep creating!!

    I didn't realise but I too started to play the algorithm game a while back with the reels I was posting, took me like 6 months to realise it would never fulfil me as I wasn't making what I was actually passionate about. Glad to know I'm not the only person who has really struggled with this journey. Whilst my youtube videos dont get as many views I am so so much more happy with what I'm making these days.

    Your work always resonates with me. I’ve found myself in a similar predicament- I know exactly how to go viral, but I don’t think I want to. I’ve always been perfectly happy if I get one or two interactions, as long as they’re genuine. Plus, genuine reactions are always the most kind. A lot of people have been telling me that my audience have a low attention span (I should cater to under 18 basically) but I really, really don’t want to. I prefer it this way. I like genuine, I prefer people find me like a diamond in the rough. We are not chemical dispensers

    This video is so inspiring (and cinematic ♥). It's so true... you have to be yourself. On my previous channel (not this one) I was very shy and didn't feel confident being just me so I did an easy content ( reactions) it had lots of views and subscribers and it did gave me some experience and helped me built a little bit of confidence but I wish I just started with vlogs back then. Eventually I gave up on that channel because everyone was there for the artist not me or my sister (obviously). I hope it will be good this time, I really wish to find a community of kind people because youtube has been my dream since like 2013 so I can't give up now...
