Tomorrow is a very big day for me.
October 23rd holds no real significance or importance to me, but it is the day I plan to and WILL start something that has been on my mind and heart for years.
I will be starting a youtube channel.
Okay, I already have two youtube accounts which I use interchangeably. The first account, I made back in 2008 to that I could gain access to watch videos. At the time, I was just starting nursing school and volunteered my time with my on campus Christian group as the worship leader. I loved singing and loved watching people cover different versions of my favourite songs. I was also super intrigued by the idea of "v-logging" (or video blogging), where people vocalized their day-to-day lives through the lens of a video camera. I even created a few of my own videos of me singing. They were terribly amateur and I had absolutely NO editing skills. But it was the spark which started this idea of becoming seriously involved with youtube. Over the years, I've followed almost a 100 different youtubers and feel as connected to their lives as if they were my own friends. They have inspired me and helped me grow as a person. In 2013, a video tag trend went around called "Draw my life". You tubers from all over would "tag" each other to draw their "story" of their life and how they came to be involved with youtube. I thought, hey! If they could do this, why can't I? In 2014, at the peak of my anxiety and depression, I used my last bit of savings money to purchase a recording mic. I started recording covers of songs with the help of Garage band on my Macbook, to create accapella versions that sounded professional and I could feel confident enough to post on youtube. I received a significant amount of positive feedback to which I felt confident enough that, yeah! I can DO this!
Since feeling the best I ever have in my entire life and really feeling like I've finally found happiness, I just want to share that with everyone I know. It's a bright and beautiful glow that burns inside that I cannot contain. People think that happiness comes from a nice house, a handsome boyfriend, or good grades. While all those things are GREAT, they aren't what can keep you happy. I want people to know my story. I want people to know and see that complete happiness and joy is every bit possible even in the most bleak of situations. I want to give people advice on how to make their lives better. I know that I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist. But that being said, my medical background in nursing will certainly be of benefit and give me the credentials for people to take me seriously.
I have been praying for this for SO LONG.
God, you are going to make this possible for me. My soul knows it well! :)
I'll keep you all posted how this new project of mine goes. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Until then,
God bless!
