hey everyone so today I am making a video that is not Halloween related because I
don't know I feel like I just need to talk through the way I'm feeling because
I'm kind of frustrated and feeling really lost but it maybe some of you are
feeling like this too and I feel like you're alone so lately
I've been really struggling with feeling like I'm making the right choices in my
life and it's not like I'm I'm doing anything currently but I'm feel like I'm
doing something wrong or bad I just feel like I haven't I feel like Joyce is in
the past have led me to where I am and I didn't think that horses through enough
and now I'm stuck
like a couple weeks ago I kind of had a mental breakdown and I don't use that
lightly like I really had a mental breakdown I was crying and super upset
bed and I mean I have like depressive episodes as it is so not getting out of
bed is like this makes me feel worse so I don't know I just can't get a bed
and I felt like you know I'm not at the right school I'm not learning what I
should be learning that I should have gone a different route with my life
and now I'm a junior in college he's almost done with their first semester of
junior year and I still feel like I'm not prepared for the job I want to do
and that I'm not going to be prepared once I get out at school to do it my
school is super expensive so I don't have money to like go back to school and
go somewhere else nothing about transferring back to where I would
transfer to a one school in mind that I would transfer to if I were to transfer
but my school has really strange classes that I take and a lot of those credits
don't transfer and if you've ever transferred schools
you kind of know that it's that there's a lot of times that your credits don't
transfer and you end up having to do an action here of school so that sucks
there's people of my family who are having that issue right now like as we
speak and they're gonna have to be in school for an extra year and I really
don't want to do that like I want to get into my job field and just go and it's
also become very clear recently that once I graduate school I'm probably
gonna have to move back home which is something I never wanted to do so I
don't want to get like I don't want to cry because then I think like oh she's
crying for me who's in like I'm not I don't really care if this gets a lot of
views I'm not you know that person I think those of you have been around for
a while probably know that I'm not that person like I don't get very emotional
on camera and maybe that's why my channel seems like it's dying is that
kind of robotic sometimes but yeah I feel like they don't want to move back
home and I know a lot of people do and I'm not like ashamed that's not why I'm
getting upset it's just that I like very much not like a fun place for me a lot
of time like I love being around my family and my friends everything yeah I
just feel like I made the wrong choice in school like I I know what I want to
do it I know I can do that job really well but I feel like my school is going
to hurt me in the long run how I how well I'm prepared and I've had this
discussion with a lot of other people who go here and they all feel the same
way so I don't feel as alone and not but it's also terrifying that so many people
are paying like nearly a quarter of a million dollars or it is a quarter of a
million dollars to go to this place and we're not ready for anything and that's
horrifying and I I don't know with like all 20-somethings feel like this but
it's just like I should not be feeling this way you should feel like I'm
learning things that are gonna make me prepared
feel that way at all so there's that and um yeah so the other thing that's been
bothering me is I feel like I am just like failing as an artist and I like I
don't know why like I feel like a lot of small creators on YouTube and Instagram
and really any social media are feeling this right now that our channels are for
nothing or our accounts are for nothing and we're not getting the recognition we
deserve and I know not everybody is gonna get like a million subscribers on
YouTube or anything but it just seems like everything is so
money driven now like if you don't have a ton of money to afford an amazing
camera and amazing lights and amazing you know sets and backgrounds and props
and costumes and stuff I mean you guys see hopefully you've seen enough is this
your first time on my channel you can kind of see I have grown a lot and put a
lot of effort into my Halloween videos and my body painting videos and trying
to up the fraction value and pay for software and you pay for editing tools
and I got in lights and I got in a different camera and I sneak cards for
that camera I'm chargers for that camera like it's the money just adds up and
there's people who make really good money doing this and I never thought of
this as a career choice so I'm just kind of venting about it that it sucks when
you know you're doing good work and you believe in your work and other people
don't or you feel like there's something blocking you from getting out into the
world like my Instagram has
760d followers at the moment our dough that's probably gone down by 20 just
because I said that um and like let me make it abundantly clear I know I'm not
oh my god I need more followers I think I need more followers to do to feel
great or I need more subscribers to feel great like not I'm not that person
like just feel great is to create something I'm proud of and that's what I
hope you all know I'm doing here is I don't put up videos that I feel like
aren't giving you a hundred percent of my creative ability like when I'm doing
them I am trying my damnedest to put out a good product and I will set up for
hours editing and uploading and reuploading and deleting and like I've
lost two Halloween videos like I have to go to Best Buy tomorrow and see if they
can get one of the back because I put so much time and effort into it I sewed a
costume for it and the fabric was super expensive and I did all of this stuff
and now the files are gone and I have no idea why because I've never had this
problem with an SD card before and I was telling me that it can't read that ste
card and I've tried different readers and I've tried putting in my camera and
it doesn't even read it in the camera so something is clearly wrong so I'm just
super frustrated with that my hard drive that had a tutorial that I needed to go
back through and re-edit and upload because sound was off is gone can't find
it anywhere sorry my parents can't find it I can't
find it in my dorm I've never taken it anywhere else it's gone so I mean that
was easy enough to refill it's just not really gonna make sense
and I'll explain you know but that hurts because I put so much work into it for
it to just be gone into the ether of the black hole in my house that all my
things disappearing - it sucks and like I just I just feel a little like crap
honestly I don't feel good about I feel good about what I'm producing but I cook
I put it out with dread like I put it out and I know like okay like for people
and like I know they say you shouldn't worry about the numbers but everybody
worries about the numbers especially with the way you did was set up now like
even the biggest people I mean we you see Greg our girl was Shane Dawson
likewise my youtube channel nine and they tell you don't worry about the
numbers but she's running the biggest couriers on YouTube and she's worried
about the numbers because from my perspective it's like you're losing like
no I don't want to say friends like with her I feel like it's more of a community
based I would love for my channel to be like that but like I feel like I'm
losing our no credibility maybe it's very hard to explain I feel
like I'm kind of losing I think every time you lose a subscriber I'm just like
like god I feel like I'm working so hard to get people to like pull it in and
maybe it's just that thing of like validate my art like validate me like
that I feel like I shouldn't need outside validation but I feel like we
all do we live in the age of meeting outside validation like we're all
worried about likes we're all worried about comments and clicks and whatever
and I think very few people can say they
don't care and it's just frustrating I can't form words around it because I
just want to great and I feel like I can do that but I'm not getting the chance
to do that like I want to show the world what kind of salad I have and what I can
do and like that's not happening it's very upsetting if there's things like I
I know I didn't do YouTube consistently for first about two years that I was on
or maybe like a year and that's why I got like 100 subscribers so like maybe I
would have more but I can't change what I was going through back then that made
me not want to create and I just I don't I don't I don't know like I feel like I
have these great makeup ideas and I just want to turn my whole channel into this
very avant-garde creative artsy place that is a home for freaks and weirdos
and people who love Halloween and dark stuff because I love dark stuff I love
superheroes I love villains you guys know I love Disney and like I want to do
that stuff but I feel like if I just abandon the like fancy Beauty side then
what happens like I don't want to start from scratch but maybe that's what I
need to do and hey but I don't want to bend in it
completely either because I really like doing makeup like this it's very
dramatic and in-your-face but it's very glad I mean like you could wear this out
and I just don't know what I'm doing with my life and that's frightening and
I don't I need admitting that because I'm a
planner I'm a doer and I will show you guys right now what has been like
consuming me I guess this isn't consuming me but this is my way of
fixing everything is going into this Google Doc that I have well I guess it's
a Google sheet and it's called videos for the future and it started as a
Halloween list but it has gotten so long hopefully maybe y'all can see this
that I had to change it into just you know of whatever kind of thing sorry my
nose is running I'm getting plucked earlier so you know
it's I don't know there's probably 40 looks on here and there's a whole
separate spreadsheet of another series I want to start and this is how I plan
that Halloween this year and this I guess is what's frustrating is I put a
year I started this year spreadsheet in December of last year and put everything
together spent my whole summer working myself till I was exhausted doing looks
and making costumes and prosthetics and you know not going out with my friends
because I had to film or edit or do something and when I went out my whole
thought process when I was out was oh my god I need to film oh my god like I need
to go home and do this and you did it I need to get to my laptop because I need
to do this and it's just it's frustrating
that I am running myself ragged and it's not doing anything for me and I just
like oh well something will happen and you'll be like the floodgates will open
but I mean the pessimist in me is like that's not gonna happen and this is not
what you're meant to do and it makes you want to quit it makes you want to run
away and I'll do it anymore and take down your channel and forget it ever
happened and like watch time like I tried make my videos interesting it's
you like a watch time and it's just so I just very I'm very frustrated angry with
YouTube I feel like a lot of people should refreshing angry with YouTube
especially small creators because now it's like what do we do if you have
under a thousand subscribers and you were making money off of this before and
maybe that was just your extra spending money or you were saving up for a camera
or you know like your YouTube money went back into your channel that money's gone
like you're not getting that anymore and then once you hit a thousand well that's
great but if your watch time is in 200 hours in 30 days or something like that
I know quite remember what the but you know then you're still not making that
money and like my one video got taken down and I appealed it and they still
took it down I think made like $10 off of and I can't get that money because
you have to get a hundred dollars in order to get it
so that's frustrating knowing that like yeah it's $10 in like a youtube sense
but it's so money that I armed like I did it challenge that someone wanted me
to do it I did it I got super creepy comments from it and I moved on with my
life but like I don't I don't know I just I'm not quitting I just want to put
that out there I'm not quitting because then YouTube wins and I don't and like
if you're a small creator or you're a college student and you feel like you're
lost and you feel like you're theatre and your loss or maybe you're both of
those things and you feel like your loss comment down below and be like hey
you're not crazy I feel this way to Oracle or say you know like oh my God
thank you for making this video because now I don't feel like I have just been
moping around the last like three days being like I want my wig heads here
because I want to start doing my wig tutorials because I it's the isle
freaking wig and I'm not a hair stylist at all and I'm not a drag queen who's
amazing at it but I can do it enough to make the thing look somewhat good and I
would put it on my head and walk around it doesn't look real I'm not doing
anything crazy but they're cheap weights and I make them look cute and I feel
like there's a big market for that and I just seen by I'm frustrated because my
brain never shots off I'm constantly wanting to be creative and I feel like
I'm being stifled
I don't like being told I can't create things don't like being told how to do
things or that it's impossible for me right now because I want to do it now
what to be great now I want to do things I want to do now what I think in the
amount of money I need to do these things sometimes just blows my mind and
I like my family is so supportive of me and I don't want to let them down and I
don't want to let you down like there's a hundred in any of you and I know for a
fact there are a hundred eighty people in my family who are subscribed to me I
do not have a hundred eighty friends that I coerced into subscribing you are
people I have never met and maybe you're not from the states maybe your knight
from Pennsylvania and you're not from New York you're not from anywhere that I
have ever been in fact just blows my mind that's how amazing to me because
like who am i nobody like it but I'm you know I'm Kaitlyn and I I do makeup maybe
that's like me to do and just reintroduce myself to all of you and go
from there and does this siren really need to happen right now I am having a
catharsis
but I just wanted to come on and say these things because I feel like camping
the only one feeling like their life is going down the tubes in a very slow
spiral
and I guess that's it like you're a small crater comment down below how
frustrated you are with the internet in general because I am ready to just give
it all but I'm not going to because I have so many yes I do not do that I will
exploit that's it ah hope you guys enjoyed my crazy ranting you maybe got a
sense of how freaking nuts I am anyway I hope you guys are doing better than I am
and have a wonderful Lukie season and stick around for some more spooky videos
where I don't rant and I just show you how to become a little character I'm
sorry I'll see you guys later bye
