Hello lovelies! This post is coming out waaaaay later than I thought it would but I have been having so many technical difficulties. I know, excuses, excuses. I feel horrible but technology is not something I have control over working or not but I do have control over opening my big mouth. I shouldn't have made promises before fully investigating the situation and I apologize for that. Therefore I have decided to attach a reflection on why I enjoy vlogging and my motivations for starting a vlog.
I started watching youtubers when Marcus Butler was just a small little channel and through him I found Zoella but I did not watch them regularly or subscribe or like or any of that because I did not even have a YouTube account. Last Summer was when I really got into YouTubers, British YouTubers actually. I don't know why but I just enjoyed the Brits from the beginning, haha. I watched and watched and watched all Zoe's videos, then all of Louise "Sprinkle of Glitter"'s videos, then Alfie "Pointless Blog", then Marcus' and just discovered the little British YouTube family and started watching them all but still did not subscribe or pay close attention to when they uploaded and the details of it. Then this January is the midst of snowdays I found vlogmas. I stayed up long into the night each night for a long weekend watching all of the Vlogmas' and absolutely loved the idea of daily vlogging and just vlogging in general. I knew I had my France trip coming up and thought that would be the perfect oppurtunity.
By the time March rolled around and term 3 exams were done I was itching to start a vlog. I had bought a new camera and everything and was ready to go. So one day I decided to start this blog and it has been the best decision of my life. I love this blog so much and not because people read it, although that is an amazing feat! I love you all! But I am a very creative person and I had no outlet for that creativity until I found blogging. I love sharing my life and just everyday things for a reason I will never understand. Writing posts and sharing things I love gives me such a high and this too I still have not found the reason for but if it makes me happy do I need to explain it? No. Since starting this blog I have seen and felt my happiness skyrocket.
Now for why I love vlogging. I have always had an obsession with observation, not on purpose and for an unknown reason I am just a people watcher. I heard someone once say, "I'm a writer, I observe every little detail," and that is the blame of this fixation. Observing others has lead me to enjoy observing myself and picking myself apart to improve which is the stem of my love for videos and watching videos. Now it has turned more into I love the videos for the memories. You can look at a video of a person and read a thousand things from body language. 10 seconds of film can transport you back to millions of sensory memories. This is what vlogging does for me. This is why I vlog and I am so thankful for it already.
Thanks for reading and watching (:
XOXO
