how youtube changed my life (& it can change yours too)

YouTube changed my life, not when I blew up a few months ago, or when I quit my job to do it full time.

It changed my life, when I posted into the void for 3 years, because it taught me the value of compounding, that numbers are not everything, and it made me feel seen, even as an introvert, in a world plagued by loneliness. It also made me wonder: is forcing myself to work hard the only way to succeed? What would happen if I simply allowed myself to do the things I love?

I hope this video inspires you to see that even if sometimes doing what you love (YouTube or otherwise) doesn't look "successful" by the numbers, every bit of effort you put into it is life-changing. Please don't give up. I'm rooting for you:)

xx,
Evelyn
