Four years ago on Firday, I started doing videos for YouTube. I can't how much I have grown and changed over those four years. I started with the goal of waking people up to the forced nonsense we are subjected to by our own government. I still want to do that, but I have come to realize that you can't beat people over the head with a red pill. It has got to be gradual and at their pace.
I have learned so much over these last four years. I have also rediscovered a passion I had as a teen which I am enjoying on a new level. Writing! At 13 and 14 I never dreamed that I would be writing on the scale that I do now. I didn't even know what the internet was. But here I am writing for the world to see for the sheer enjoyment of it.
A second skill I had and enjoyed at one time was cooking from scratch. I enjoyed cooking at one time. Over the years though I lost touch with these things which I enjoyed. I wasn't encouraged to go to college as a kid because my parents didn't have the money. I spent my twenties helping my mom take care of my late father. After I meet Antonia's dad who was from Mexico, I saw the possibility of having a family. A year later I was pregnant. My enjoyment got pushed even further off to the back shelf. Then I cared for my late mother as much as I could because I am not a medical professional. So she had to go to a nursing home. That wasn't my decision. As a matter of fact, no one asked me what I wanted at all ever.
In 2015 I was on my own, I already talked about the domestic violence which followed my mom's death, I finally could do what I wanted with my life. After a failed attempt at creating a career in life insurance, I decided to do college online. No admission fees or no entrance exam. Jackpot! I started out as in finance. That didn't really suit me. It's not where I felt called. In May I started this blog here at WordPress. I eventually came to realize that writing is where I belong.
Over the last couple of years, I have been on a spiritual journey. I have shared this here before. David Bowie once said "Religion is for people who are afraid of hell. Spirituality is for people who have been through it." How right he was! I have gone from Christian to atheist to being a student of Christ. Which is where I am at now. In July I start my Senior year of college. At 48 I will have a bachelor's in Journalism and Mass Communication. It has taken me a few years but, I will be a college graduate with a degree and student loan debt. At least I will have opportunities to tell the stories that lamestream journalist won't touch.
As for my YouTube channel, I have extended out to DTube via Steemit. They have developed a new forum that I am going to take time the explore. I will keep doing the videos reviewing the stories that lamestream journalist won't touch. Plus, all the other changes I have made to it.
