Hi, everyone!
This is my first video on youtube
I am Elina, pleased to meet you
As we can say when we introduce ourselves to someone.
To befriend someone You usually have to introduce yourself
So...my name is Selene
I'm 17 years old
And I come from Veneto.
I want to explain you mainly the reasons why I decided to open this channel
Because It seems to me something...mmh...interesting
Why? Why did you decide to start making videos, Selene? Why?
I decided to start making videos because this is such a hard time
As I say, It's really sort of a shitty time.
So... precisely because during this time I feel like I'm not happy anymore
So, I said to me, why don't you pick out something you like, and then
you can use it like something that makes you happy?!
I've been watching videos on Youtube for four years, more or less
And I've always loved Youtube.
So, I said, why don't you test yourself and start making your own videos? Why not?
So, I thought it could be something that made me happy
also because I see that many youtubers are so happy making videos
They are glad, even if they are stressed out
because they have to make a lot of videos, but they always seem glad.
So, I said, why don't you take a little bit of happiness also from this thing?
The second reason is that I want to share my passions with a lot of people.
And I want to meet people who agree with my same passions and hobbies.
And so...somebody with whom I can exchange opinions.
There's no other reason why, I just want to meet people who share my same passions.
I want to find a little bit of happiness.
So, I hope I find her on Youtube.
Now you May be wondering:
this girl can talk, but then
what is she going to do on this channel?
So, now I tell you what I'm going to do on this channel.
Well...
I wondered
What are the things
that you love most in this world, Selene?
And my answer was
I love listening to music
I love reading
I love watching movies
I love travelling
And I love staying with my friends.
I believe that these five things are the most important stuff in my life.
And I hope that Youtube will become the sixth.
Hi, everyone, girls and also boys, just in case.
I'm Fabiana
This is an entry video to my channel
I've been thinking about opening my own channel
I'm not a newbie to Youtube
In fact, I've been a member of Youtube for so long.
But...
I decided to open my channel
In order to share everything I like
Because everything I know about my two favourite passions,
that now I'm going to tell you,
It's thanks to Youtube.
Thanks to other youtubers.
So...
All I want to do is share what I know.
As well to pass the time.
Without trick
Without presumption
I'm a very down-to-earth girl
I'm 23 years old
I use to study, I use to work
And...
I'll try to publish as many videos as I can.
In the hope that so many people subscribe my channel just on trust.
I'm on Youtube just to share my passions
I don't care about millions of subscribers or visualisations or making money
Absolutely not.
Because I have other ambitions in my life
I used to work, here and there.
And...
I can't making videos everyday
but I'll make video the moment I can.
Everything I can, I will do.
I've been making videos on Youtube for almost two years
And I've already seen some haters
in other words
people who insult you, without knowing you.
Mostly, I don't usually block people uncontrollably.
I can let you to do first an offensive comment
and I can probably reply it.
However, if you don't like me, you better just change channel.
It's an elementary principle:
if you don't like something, you can change channel.
All my haters
who will insult me without a reason,
such as
"You sucks!"
It's ok for the first time, but then I'll block them.
I'll put all my haters on a black list
First comment is ok, but then I'll block them.
I can accept the constructive criticism, because they can help me.
Such as...
"in my opinion, you should have blended more your eye shadow"
Or...
"I would have choosen another color"
Totally a matter of taste and pragmatism.
If you want to offer me some constructive criticism,
It will be a pleasure to accept.
Actually, I won't be offended.
Don't be afraid to comment, to express your opinions
That makes me glad.
I'm a true and honest person,
so, I hate phony people
or people who hide behind their lying faces.
I will be honest with you
and I will tell you my sincere opinion
and I'll show up the real me.
I won't hide behind a video.
I've been on youtube since 2013
I upload videos about make up, about cooking,
Videos about various issues
Such as current events
Because I follow
what happens, not only in my life,
but also in Italy and in the world everyday.
I watch the news on tv everyday.
I try to find out.
But...
I really want to make videos explaining my thoughts about certain issues.
Like this.
Because this is still a democracy.
Good thing, I I would add.
There is no one pointing a gun at my head
and telling me to say what I can't say.
Because of this I decided to make this video.
Obviously
Youtube is not such a good place to talk about our problems.
This is clear.
But...
I...
honestly
I can tell the difference between
people who shows themselves for who they really are
and people who shows themselves for who they not really are.
Because I don't believe you are with your make-up on 24 hours a day
And still smiling.
And then using fake titles for your videos.
What do you practically do in your videos?
Nothing.
So...
I think...
Honestly...
It's so much nicer show us for what we really are.
Like me in this moment:
I'm a little bit messy,
with my glasses,
with chapped lips
I put on some lip balm.
My lips are totally dry.
It seems to be a sort of bummer
but I show myself for who I really am.
Because...
If you seem to be perfect in your videos
and you flaunt your stuff...
Let's face it
there are videos like these...
The greatest thing on Youtube
is that you can create friendly connections
and ties of trust
with your subscribers each other.
Fortunately
we're not on tv.
We're real people, in quotes.
We're not so phony people
Maybe even phony, sometimes
But the greatest thing is
this relationship of mutual trust.
I trust vloggers
For example, when I watch Onorina's videos
I trust what she says in her videos.
I trust her truth, period!
Well...
(voices in the distance)
Hello, hauntie...
That is my hauntie.
Hello, hauntie
She watches my videos
So, hello, hauntie!
Hello, granny!
And...
Exactly...
Then she makes other videos
And...
Where...
how can I say It...
She makes other videos...
So now I got the point...
(voices in the distance)
All right.
I've been on Youtube just for two months
And at first
I decided just to keep that to myself
and not to share it with my friends.
But days passed and I decided to share that with two or three people.
I don't share my videos on Facebook
just on twitter
because I'm afraid of being mocked by people I know.
Doesn't make me uncomfortable at all that people that don't know me
watch my videos.
But knowing that people who know me
watch my videos
makes me embarrassed.
I don't know why.
I don't talk about absurd topics
or forbidden stuff or things away from me.
But I felt not ready
and I still feel not ready
to share my new parallel world
with all people I know.
Why am I on Youtube?
I always wanted to open a channel
And this year was a very hard time for me.
Just because of me.
I was in charge of my sadness and of all my bad feeling.
During bad times, I usually shut myself off
And I don't talk with nobody.
So, I've been closed in my room for two weeks
and then I finally found the strength to go out
and to face what makes me sad.
I needed an escape, something that makes me amused,
something through which I can express myself,
something to keep me busy,
something that, in the future, can give me happiness.
Real happiness.
A sort of happiness
that we can even see in the dark
Because, surely
as friendship and love
happiness is fluorescen too.
And here I am.
I decided to open a Youtube channel
basically because I want making people have fun and enjoying myself
making stupid challenges
making...
even mundane stuff.
Such as show up my outfit, my make up of the day, my hair style
Maybe for a special day
A confirmation, a baptism, a first communion, I don't know...
But I like sharing my issues with the world.
I know that many people don't even care what's going on in my life.
In fact, I won't divulge my personal life.
But I will divulge...
"DIVULGE"
how I'm talking?
I am cultured.
I will divulge
stuff that don't belong with my personal life.
Because...
my personal life is mine
and It must stay out of social networks.
No, I'm kidding.
I don't care.
And...
So...
Nothing...
I hope that people have fun watching my videos.
I hope I have fun, above all.
And I don't want that this becomes an obligation.
Such as: on monday and wednesday I have to upload videos.
I'll upload my videos
when I get stuff stuck in my brain,
when I want...
in a special moment
maybe when I am enough happy to make someone else be happy.
I guess people can laugh just seeing me.
Because...
I...
I'm not a clown.
I swear.
But I am a smiley person
That I hope I can spread...
the verb is right?
I - AM - A - SMILEY PERSON
That hope to spread
her will to live
to everyone.
Not, huh?
A few years ago,
as you can see in my old videos,
I was really obsessed with my hair.
I wanted to be accepted on internet.
One way to feel accepted is having a lot of likes on Facebook photos
in which we are pretty, with make up on, etc.
That's satisfactory.
But It isn't what I want now.
A few years ago,
I just wanted likes.
And there's nothing wrong.
Really.
But...
I didn't want likes because of an idle obsession.
I just wanted to feel beautiful.
To get these likes
I must have dyed hair,
the right make up,
I must smooth or curl my hair
And so I started buying discolorations, dyed hair...
Open brackets and close brackets,
I'm so glad I dyed my hair
because this thing got me to grow up.
So, I'd do it again.
But I realized that
everyday
I spent my time on taking care of my make up, my hair color,
my hair dye,
my straight out or curly hair
I spent my time in this way.
But I realized that
the time left gets
really really
shorter.
Time is of the essence.
So, I said to me:
this time I spent to please other people
does make any sense?
Let's start talk about this video.
Well, I don't talk about videogames,
I don't make gameplay.
But I want to talk about the reason why I open this channel.
I'm doing this for two reasons.
First, to make myself known a little better,
especially for new subscribers.
Second, to encourage who want to open a channel.
Even if I'm not an expert.
I uploaded just 10 videos.
But...
It can be a "spit"
sorry, a spark.
I'm doing this because
I like saying my opinion.
And now that I got this channel, I can do it
also with people I don't know.
So they can watch me and listen to me.
It's great.
I started making them
because I saw people got hurt.
Honestly
It makes me upset.
Because I felt sick too.
Then I said:
why do I have to keep watching people getting hurt without doing nothing?
At the end, I chose virtual world.
Maybe it is the better thing to make people happy.
From now on, I start uploading videos on Youtube.
And I hope...
I succeed
making you happy during your day.
I hope I can make better your day.
I make this video because...
because yesterday It happened something that makes me wonder.
I went out with my best friend,
who asked me why I open this channel.
Honestly
I never thought it possible that someone would ask me this question so early.
I thought that someone would do it later.
Instead
yesterday It happened,
after ten days, since I opened this channel.
So, I started thinking about it.
And I decided to share my thoughts with you.
Well,
first of all, I opened this channel to share my passion for make up,
for fashion, for tag videos, for haul videos,
to blow off some steam, and so on and so forth, of course.
But especially
It is a self-gift.
Ever since I was little, I've been always insecure.
A very shy person, always afraid to express myself,
to show myself.
Until...
Not long ago...
During my last oral exam, at university
at the end of the exam
my professor approached, he stared at me and he said:
Are you self-confident?
Do you believe yourself?
And I...
I really don't.
In that moment I don't trust myself at all.
So, I started "analyzing" me
looking for a way
to be more confident.
And the only way I found
to change me
is Youtube.
Because It's hard do it alone.
You must have a great determination.
In this moment I don't have it.
So, for me now Youtube is...
a...
a salvation.
Because in this community you can expose yourself completely.
You can show yourself.
You can express your opinions.
What you do
you need to do best,
because a lot of people do the same,
so you must do It properly.
This community is different from the other social networks.
Because you are not behind a chat, behind a picture.
You speak personally
in front of everyone.
I'm getting to like this stuff.
So, I see that...
this experience on Youtube, into this community
is changing me.
It's changing me
because I feel myself matured.
I'm totally exposed.
I had to put aside the shame
that always obstructs me in lots of ways.
With a proper use, like all the other social networks,
In my opinion, Youtube can really be
a way to overcome shyness.
So, I suggest getting involved.
I...
I always tend to back out.
I think I lost lots of chances in my life
Because of my inclination to back out.
But this time instead,
I'm the first to suggest getting involved, for once in your life.
Because otherwise
You can't enjoy something completely.
And thanks to Youtube
we can also know your limitations
and maybe overcome them.
Another thing that motivated me to change
and to open this Youtube channel
is a quote that my aunt always says to me,
that is
only mediocrity needs validations.
I don't want to be a mediocre person.
I want to be better then I am.
I have to prove it to myself.
And I made it through this channel.
Because I see that people accept me for who I am
and they really appreciate what I do.
Variation One: What happened to me?
The reasons why I stopped making videos
are various.
Not because I was on vacation
Not because I had no free time.
In this video I want to speak my heart out.
So wholeheartedly.
Probally I'm going to say uncomfortable things,
that I'd better not say.
But...
honestly...
This is me. This is my channel, my space.
I don't care. I say what I want.
I opened this channel when I was 12th grade.
Almost two years ago.
I was mad about Youtube.
I used to watch Youtube videos all day long.
My idols were Youtubers, older then me, foreign people, italian people.
Youtube was a sort of my little world
And I used to stay in here
producing my own videos or watching those of the other ones.
I still like watching videos.
This has been going on for a year, a year and a half.
This summer, I reached a point
Thinking about myself, about my daily life,
I was so absorbed in Youtube.
I used to live for that, I used to live thinking about that
I wasn't doing nothing else in my head.
I used to always give priority to that.
And I'm glad of this.
But I ended up quitting all the other thing
such as social skills.
If I had to make a video, I didn't go out and seing people.
I used to declined invitations from my friends
because of my Youtube channel.
I know that there are people who can combine both,
but in that time of my life I just couldn't do it.
So, I pulled away a little
just because I didn't want to got my head totally absorbed in Youtube.
It's not just dedication.
I was really obsessed
with my channel,
such as "OMG, I must make this video, it will surely be a bomb"
"OMG, I have to upload it on this day,
because on this day more people can watch it".
It really became an addiction.
