Just so you know, and this is me not selling myself well at all, it’s kind of janky. Also, the second one will be more janky! The third one will be way less janky…it terms of video quality…
I think the content is good though!
Really, don’t let my disclaimer fool you. I do think there is good and useful information in the video. I just have to give the disclaimer because I’m me. I have to be honest about it, and I’m not a salesman. Also, I’m okay with my videos being janky for now. I’m okay with them not being perfect. I still have some anxiety about it, and the old me would have never released this video!
Why is the newer and I think more improved me okay with releasing it?
It’s because my old me never would have released a video at all. There is a perfectionist inside of me that has made my life miserable for years because I could never be perfect. I’m never going to be perfect. I think being a perfectionist with low self-esteem and confidence sucks. You really just let yourself down all the time.
Yes, I want everything I make to be amazing. I do put a lot of effort into everything I create, but the truth is that sometimes you just have to start, even if your start isn’t perfect.
“Dude, sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.” –Jake the Dog (Adventure Time…one of my favorite shows ever!)
There is no perfect time to start something. I didn’t want to wait till I had the money to make quality videos. I didn’t want to wait until I had the time to spend hours writing and memorizing a script. I just didn’t want to wait to help people. Having that purpose really helps me go forward with my content creation because I believe what I’m doing is important. I believe that there are people out there hurting that I can possibly help. Am I the best resource? Maybe not, but I want to try my best. I am not a mental health professional, but I do have the knowledge I’ve been given from professionals. I also have my own experiences to share, and there is always value in someone’s story. There is value in your story.
So here is my first YouTube video! I do intend to become “sorta good” at making videos and then great. I plan to put in the work, and try my hardest to be patient with myself. I’m proud of this video and myself!
Feedback is welcome as always.
Enjoy, guys!
