My Life as a Creator: Unplugging and Reflecting

As I sit here with my Furby, now safely ensconced in a laundry basket to quiet its incessant chirping, I'm reminded of the importance of taking a step back from the world and recharging. I had tried to keep it away from light and movement, hoping to stifle its annoying sounds, but even that seemed futile. I suppose you could say my Furby was like a manifestation of my own exhaustion - always making noise, never stopping.

My Favorite Vacation Spot

Despite the chaos my life may seem, one place stands out as my favorite vacation destination: Bora Bora. It's truly like something out of a Living Dead Island video game, minus the zombies (thankfully). The tranquility and beauty of this island are unmatched, and I feel rejuvenated every time I step foot there. In fact, it was so memorable that I still get asked about my favorite vacation spot, and Bora Bora is always at the top of the list.

High School Memories

As for high school, well... let's just say it wasn't exactly my highlight reel. To be honest, I don't even remember much about graduating day or, in fact, most of high school. It was a period marked by boredom and disinterest, with the exception of spending hours playing video games - a hobby that would become an integral part of who I am today.

Favorite Music and TV Shows

My music tastes are quite eclectic, with Ellie Goulding being my go-to artist (I even have her songs on repeat in my car). But beyond music, I do enjoy reading Japanese manga, which can be quite immersive. As for TV shows, there aren't many that really catch my attention - but if I had to choose, it would probably be something like the Mario Kart series.

Dealing with Online Harassment

Unfortunately, even in today's digital age, online harassment still exists. There are times when I stumble upon negative comments about myself or others, and it can be tough to navigate those situations. My approach is usually to try to understand where the other person is coming from - after all, we've all been judged at some point or another. By putting myself in their shoes (or keyboard), I hope to foster a sense of empathy and understanding.

Personal Habits

I do have one habit that might raise an eyebrow: I'm not exactly proud of my tendency to pull up somewhere only to realize something is missing. Whether it's the ceiling or just a general feeling of unease, there are times when I feel like... well, I guess you could say "on edge." However, as with most things in life, it seems to be just a part of who I am.

Channel Management

As for my online presence, I'm quite open about the fact that I don't have many channels dedicated to reviews (despite having a few). My main focus is on creating engaging content for my audience - whether it's vlogs, gaming videos, or other formats. While some might find my editing style unusual, I've learned to take a more DIY approach to post-production.

Conclusion

And that's just a glimpse into my life as a creator. From Furby-induced frustration to favorite vacation spots and high school memories (or lack thereof), every experience shapes who we become. Whether it's through online interactions or simply spending time with loved ones, I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with all of you - so thank you for being part of this journey!
