Just kidding (kind of) with everything that has been going on as of late, I've really had to just take a step back for my own mental health.
It's kind of a weird game, when you find yourself in a bad place the creativity also kind of gets sucked out of you as well. And you teeter between trying to force yourself to keep going, or just take a well deserved break from everything. But sometimes that well desevered break from everything can also feel like you're calling in the towel and giving up.
I don't want to give up. I started my channel because I love video games, I love film and television, and I wanted to share the hidden gems in my life that I love and the things in my life that has kept me going and kept me positive. I wanted to share that with other people who may not have experienced said medium, and could potentially take something from it. I also wanted to make people laugh. I am still working on "on screen presence" but how I am on camera is 10x less alive than how I am in real life. In real life I bounce off the walls, and a lot of what has stopped me from "being that version of myself" was insecurity. I have always struggled with my appearance and felt like it wasnt really possible to "be an attractive and funny woman". While i know thats not true, AT ALLL, i know so many funny and beautiful women, its definitely an insecurity ive struggled with, from being the funny class clown that people would call ugly (humor was definitely a defense mechanisim), to suddenly "having a glow up", i always struggled with "do i lose the funny? How do i act?" I know this will for sure resonate with some people, and sorry for veering so far off topic, but my main point is:
After losing Desmond (Etika), I want to stay as true to myself as possible, be as funny and goofy as I want on camera, without feeling like I have to tone it down. I just wanna be more of myself and I want to embrace that, and I hope it shines through in my work. The Barbie video was a start.
See you guys Monday :)
