Today's video is an honest and off the cuff chat about some reflections that are leading me to reconsider how I approach my YouTube Journey, looking to further embrace vulnerability and realness as I move forward.
In the past three and a half years since starting this channel, I've uncovered a fear of authenticity that has impacted the way I create content. Despite often receiving feedback that I need to show more of myself, I've fallen into a pattern of attempting to present myself as a 'guru' or a philosopher. I've been meticulously planning my videos and scripting speeches which is not reflective of my genuine personality. This realization has been a process and I'm finally confronting it. I've also felt the pressure to only create content about music software, which is part of what I enjoy, but not my entire spectrum of interests. I want to make my channel a place where I can express my thoughts, be authentic and real, rather than a perfect, wise figure. I'm a human, I make mistakes, and I want to share this genuine version of myself with my viewers. The future of my channel will embrace this newfound honesty and authenticity.
