My YouTube channel is starting to gain traction and I'm struggling to adjust to it.
I've been posting for close to 3 years now and last week one of my videos caught some traction and people started subscribing. I finally reached the thousand subscriber goal I've been working for. I'm only a few watch hours away from qualifying for monetisation which will absolutely change my life. I am so grateful for the support strangers have been giving me. They've been so nice in the comments, people are talking about sharing my channel to other people and they're complimenting my personality. It feels so weird to get this much positive attention. Part of me feels unworthy of it. I've been working hard for this moment but I think part of me didn't think it would happen,at least not this month. Last week I told my partner that I was going to reach 1000 subscribers by June and now I'm there,it feels surreal🥹🫣🥳. Going from one or two comments to over 30 in a week is a huge jump for me attention wise. I am a complete contradiction. I fought hard to get this attention,I desperately wanted it and now that I'm here it's not joy I feel, it's apprehension. The Internet is an amazing and scary place where one video can change someone's life. My dream is to live out my fullest potential, to become the very best of what my DNA has to offer. My dream is to help people and leave this world a better place. My dream is to make people laugh and help them love themselves and each other. I'm living my dream and that's what scares me. The fact that I was able to do what I sought out to do all alone with an outdated phone makes me excited for what I can accomplish once I can afford to upgrade my equipment. I'm excited for what my future holds. Writing this all down has helped calm my nerves. I am living my dream and I'm owning it baby. No imposter syndrome for this bitch, it's time to run with this amazing opportunity.
