Helllooooo internet world,After quite an inner conflict with myself, I made the ultimate decision to take a halt with my YouTube path. I've been so busy with my school and social life, I just couldn't find the time to create more content for my channel. YouTube just started to feel like a chore, and I absolutely hated that because I began YouTube as hobby. Although to begin with, I kinda felt like YouTube just wasn't going to be the right path for me.
If you have watched some of my YouTube videos you can tell I look VERY awkward. Okay sure, I might be a bit awkward in irl, but sometimes filming videos made me feel uncomfortable. It felt weird cause I didn't know what to say or how to act, that's why I like blogging- I can clearly type down all the right words I'm thinking in my head without any regrets.
And good lord let's not forget how time-consuming YouTube editing actually is. Doing YouTube for myself, I have a new profound respect for all YouTubers big and small. Editing the most basic video takes 2 hours+. And then there's always the dreadful process of uploading your video. THE STRUGGLE IS MORE THAN REAL.
For me, I actually do put in quite a bit of effort into my blog but you can honestly publish your blog post in seconds. It's hella convenient, for me at least.
And one more thing, my blog/Youtube kinda got discovered at school (thanks to the hoe who sold me out, you know who you are) and I realized "Dang. My videos are just really embarrassing." I quickly private the videos I wasn't proud of. I also deleted a few blog posts while I was at it cuz I realized how personal they were. Yeah, I wasn't really smart with some of the things I put on the internet. :3
I realize how much more conscious I have to be about what I put on this blog, dang it. But, on the bright side less people actually take the time to read my long-ass blog posts in comparison to watching videos so yay! ^.^
Nonetheless, I will still continue blogging. YouTube- not so much, although I may return to it sometime in the future.
*side note: I was going to have a YouTube collaboration with a fellow Youtuber quite some time ago but cut it off due to my hiatus and lack of inspiration to further my YouTube channel. I'd like to formally apologize to that Youtuber for any inconveniences I have caused.

On a much happier note,
Happy Birthday to the lovely Miss Mongchin! :)
Her blog MONGABONG has been one of my favorites since I was in Grade 6 and I still read it to this day! (haha okay fyi i'd be in like Form 2 if I still was in Malaysia but here in the U.S I'm already a freshmen so it makes it seem like i'm much older. muahaha.) Her blog posts are always perfect and it's safe to say she has been one of my inspirations for blogging! So to Mong, thank you! :)
Ooh btw, in honour of her bday- Mong is holding a giveaway on her Instagram! You can get all the details on her blog here.
