So the past 2 years have been the hardest 2 years of my life ever. I just felt so insecure all the time and stressed out all the time. I started YouTube to have fun and to share some laughs but I felt like I couldn't be myself anymore and got too consumed with all the bad things about YouTube.
I've worked so hard on all my videos for the past 10 years and every time I got a copyright claim or every time when I created a unique video idea and have it ripped off. I just felt less and less of a YouTuber and just didn't enjoy posting YouTube videos anymore.
I have done so much growing up this past year and now have finally accepted everything.
I am still SO proud of my YouTube channel, I NEVER thought my videos would be watched BILLIONS of times and thank you all so much for being a part of my life and to watch me grow.
Now I want to become a better comedian and a better YouTuber, I will no longer make videos for the sake of it or for views.
I just want to make videos that I'm proud of.
I made this video mainly for myself. Its a video iv'e always wanted to make and the fact that I'm brave enough to be so vulnerable and open tells me that I can finally put my insecurities in the past and move on with my life knowing that I did my best and that's all that matters.
