Midnight Thoughts

Hey everyone, almost done with the NYC Christmas episode for its release tomorrow :) Should be up by around noonish, just need to finish up the rest of the audio.

Really wanted to say thank you to those that have stuck with me this year. Don’t think I don’t notice you OG’s , because I do and you all are the only reason I’m still here making this content.

Between the insane amount of money it takes to keep buying the best of the best pro camera gear and traveling to different locations so often - I still haven’t actually made any money on the channel and I continue to put alot of my savings into it to sustain it. But without your support, I would have been forced to quit a long time ago.

To be honest, It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for me. At times I’m convinced that the very next expisode will attract enough people to the patreon and I will actually be able to pay myself a little. And at other times (like now) I start to feel burned out because it’s yet another weekday night/ weekend I’ve spent working for no pay.

There is a lot to be grateful for though, in times like these, I try to think back to all the comments I’ve received both publicly and through private messages. All the people that have have said my content has helped them.

I am grateful that I could make a difference in so many peoples lives. No matter what happens to the channel in the coming year, even if I have to eventually quit because I ran out of savings, I’ll always know I had helped so many along the way, and it was all worth it for that alone.

Anyway, I always keep a strong and happy public image, but I just couldn’t hold back the tears during this moment of weakness tonight and thought I would share. Back to being hopeful for the future. Back to being strong. Together we are strong.

getting a quest 3 drove me to this content and i have had a quest 2 for years. people getting a quest 3 and soon to be a vision pro will certainly drive your success, just wait it out for a little longer and you are guaranteed to find success.

(1/2) Really sorry to have associated those feelings with the videos for you, and I completely understand if you have to leave. There is actually very little sadness and depression in my life, and I do very much enjoy making these experiences. I am paid well at my main job and that allows me to be able to afford to pay for other ventures and hobbies that I am passionate about. I love that I can help so many others with these experiences and that brings me a lot of joy. It is also a ton of fun walking around filming these videos, makes me feel like a celebrity where everyone is curious about me and everyone wants to talk to me :) Business startups tend to be very expensive and work intensive and that’s all this is - I was just a little tired of all the work that start ups take. I do plan on hiring a video editor to help with the workload in the near future, and that will help make things much easier for me. You see, I absolutely love filming out there, it is the video editing part that I don’t enjoy as much lol.

I guess I'm out. Now I just identify these videos with depression and sadness. I tried watching the Comic Con earlier, and all I could think of was the low views and how expensive and time demanding this is, so stopped halfway through since it just made me sad. :( Good luck with future endavours, I just associate things too easily, have a bit of OCD on stuff (I was unable to read a book to completion for almost 5 years because I couldn't stop analyzing how I was reading, spelling consistency, how my eyes were moving etc. etc. etc.)
