That deck looks GORGEOUS!!! I’m really digging the energy too — I’ll pick up one when I have a chance!
Thank you for sharing your decision to post on YouTube again. I know in recent weeks I’ve considered curating my YouTube because I’ve seen enough stuff setting me that made me go “I’m done for right now”. The only thing I do now is post my shorts, but I just go directly to YouTube Studio for that. The beautiful thing about YouTube is the ability to share videos with the world. While there are other platforms like Vimeo, it doesn’t hit the same as YouTube.
I love creating too. 🥹 The vulnerability sometimes has scared me away from sharing, but goodness, it feels amazing to share regardless of the response.
Kelly, thank you for your kind words about the deck. Thank you also for validating my feelings about being away from YouTube and also coming back. And I’m glad you know what I mean about creating and vulnerability. It’s worth it but sometimes it’s overwhelming. It’s a practice.
I have my YouTube on restricted mode. You cannot see the comments or comment because of that. It also blocks mature videos. YouTube is the only platform I use, like you said, to find out how to do home and car maintenance and I follow three channels I really love, one reiki, one apothecary, and one who creates beautiful videos. I also use the screensavers on my TV, I love calmed by nature bc of no ads and the witchy one I think it’s called something of night? 😂 Anyway, restricted mode is an option for people! It’s under settings. I do not like any other social media and haven’t used it for years and I am happy about that! I am pretty weird about what I consume, even books. I also do not usually look at the news! It’s honestly worth a try to see how you feel if someone reading this has never done it but it does feel strange at first, it’s an addiction.
Brooke, this is a great tip – thank you! And it’s good to know you are on my page with social media.
