i started by making videos for a school, but then disagreed on the direction and went on my own.

by the way i like your user name, before i started ]i wrote down a few ideas and "tomorrow's bacon" was one of them, obviously I didn't choose it.
 
I was just bored on my summer holidays to be honest. I decided to upload a random video of the game I was playing
 
Well, I started off YouTube back in 2009 with some stupid vlogs(don't worry it's officially off the internet) but then 2 years ago I was inspired by one of the amazing fingerstyle guitarists on YouTube and so I did mine :)
 
I just started to record some motivational speeches that I would give to certain schools or audiences, and eventually I just decided that I wanted to record my weekly life, and hopefully just show how I change as a person overall
 
I love doing my youtube channel, I've only had mine for a few weeks. I've never been a great talker, not because I had nothing to say but because I lacked confidence in my voice. I stutter or get tongue tied and I end up making no sense. I feel videos is defiantly helping although I know I have a long way to go!!

It also helps to have something to focus on other than dwelling or stressing out over work! I'm so much more relaxed and care free than before!! Trying to figure everything out is hard when you have zero expierence in production or editing but learning has never been so fun :)
 
I originally started to promote my business, but I fell in love with just helping people through explaining how I overcame thing in my life and what I had learned along the way.
 
I do it because I love to make people happy and I genuinely like making videos; I want to become a comedian and a screen writer so I started here. I've had so many ideas locked in my head that i knew people would enjoy. I also did it because I have a weird confidence thing, im social but im also not. YT helps with that
 
I do it because it gives me something to get away. Life can get crazy and YouTube allows me to express myself and let others see the things I see from my point of view. I still need work but i enjoy telling a story in videos and allowing people to follow that story.
 
I like doing videos on youtube because of a few different things. One is that I am a very shy person in real life, and it's helped me open up a little bit. My vlogs have replaced a personal diary, and I like talking about my mental illness, my life, and any troubles I may be going through to show people that they aren't alone. I am trying to find a better way to make art videos, and am thinking of doing book reviews, and these things help keep me motivated to not let my depression take over and stop me from enjoying the things I love. It's helped give me a bit of an outlet, especially with my vlogs, in a way that I simply don't have in real life.
