this is not goodbye.. updates + a car chat!

Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel. Today's video is just going to be like a little sit in the car chat with me. I have not filmed a video or a vlog in quite some time because I feel like I'm going through like a midlife crisis on like with social media because I just want to just do this for fun and like not feel the pressure of like filming all the time. And basically with like work and stuff, I get off some days that I typically probably wouldn't be off because like my schedule is just so fluid. So basically I just sometimes I have days off but I only film like 30 seconds worth of footage because I don't do that much throughout the day nor do I have a lot to talk about. So I don't have enough footage for a full YouTube video but I just wanted to come on here and update you guys about like what I'm planning on doing and like my game plan and like regrouping here and a touch base with you all. But I am going to start transitioning more to like short form content because I'm doing things but I don't want to necessarily like narrate or like have like a really long clip of like whatever I'm doing. So with that being said, you guys are still going to get content because I'm still going to post everything that I post on the other platforms, whatever it may be, onto YouTube Shorts. So like I'm still going to be creating content. Like I want to be creating content and like having fun. I don't want to have to be like, oh I need to get a YouTube video up this week because I don't have anything and then like scrambling like I need to figure out what to do and like what friends are available so I can like film this and then like some of my friends like can't be on camera. I just don't want to have the pressure of like having a 10 to like 15 to 20 to 30 minute video because like I just can't produce that right now in my life and I don't want the pressure of that. So yeah, we're going to transition over and just have fun on TikTok and stuff. I love filming on my phone. I just can whip this out and then like film. I can also still use this camera. I love this camera, by the way. I still stick by what I've been saying about the DJI Osmo 3. Love it. I can still use this if I wanted to because it can film vertical. It's still going to be so great. But anyway, with all that being said, no, I'm not going to be quitting YouTube because YouTube is like, I've always loved YouTube. It's just with everything and like social media kind of changing, like I'm just going to focus more on something else for a little bit because why not? Because I can. I don't depend on this for income. I do this solely because I love to do it and I love to like build an online community. Even if it's only like 150 people, it's great. Whether it's like my family or like my friends who watch this. So basically what I'm trying to get at is if I want to vlog, if I want a long form content day, I'm going to do that. If I just want to film a TikTok, I'm going to do that because that's like where I'm at now with social media. Obviously for like holidays and when my family gets together, like Christmas, Thanksgiving, just various times, birthdays, it's going to be a long form content vlog. I mean, well then again, it might not because I did just, I did a little birthday YouTube short TikTok for my uncle's birthday because like on the spur of the moment, I'm like, I want to film some stuff, some stuff. Like I'm going to, let's get some clips. So yeah, I don't know. But definitely for like Christmas and throughout like the holiday season, like vlogmas is so much fun. So I'm definitely going to be like still making videos. It's not like goodbye. It's just like hello in a new form, a new format. I wanted to just like touch base with you guys and kind of just chit chat with you about what's been going on because I haven't like been posting that frequently on the channel and stuff and like, I don't know, editing on my phone as well is just so much faster than like importing this footage on a computer and like doing my video, like editing my videos on Final Cut. Even though I will say I do pride myself, I'm a very fast editor. Like I don't, I don't take a million years. I mean, I'm definitely like not a slow editor. It's just finding the time to edit because like I don't feel like editing, but with a short form content sort of thing, everything's already on my phone. I just import it into CapCut and then splice and dice on my phone and then I can upload super fast. So that's another reason why I think going to that form of content is just better suited for my life right now. But I will never like stop creating content because like I like it. Another reason why too, like I just want to take it easy and just have fun because I'm not doing this for anyone else because like let's be, let's, in all reality, like three people watch my stuff. Like I'm not going to break my back, like trying to get stuff up for like not a large audience because you know, I mainly do this for me, honestly, because yeah, anyway, side story today at Pilates, um, this girl was like, Oh, do you like do social media? Are you like an influencer or like content creator? And I'm like, yeah, I'm a cosplayer of one because I'm like, well, no, I do work with some brands and some companies like for products, but yeah, we'll just say I'm a cosplayer. All right, because I am not doing this full time at all. I just have fun with it. Anyway, I feel like I've rambled on way too long, but I hope you guys like understand where I'm coming from and still enjoy whatever I post. If not, that's totally fine. Because again, we're just here for the vibes. We're here to have fun, be creative, share like what I'm doing, where I'm going and yeah, no pressure. But anyway, give this video a thumbs up. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel because I'm still going to be posting on YouTube shorts and follow me on TikTok if you want to and Instagram. And yeah, I will see you in my next video, wherever that may be. Bye.
