New Ventures

So Lately I've been reading a book that was recommended to me by a friend from work entitled "What Should I Do With My Life?"...kind of appropriate right?
The book is by author Po Bronson and is basically about how Po went all over the country speaking with people about how they discovered what to do with their lives, and he helps to retell their stories. Some of the stories are really touching and somewhat relate-able, others are hard to connect with because they seem so far from where I am right now.
However the more stories I read, the more inspired I become. One of the most important themes that I'm finding within all the stories, is to play to your strengths and do what you are good at slash what makes you happy. And I know about doing what makes you happy, not completely from experience, but from writing so much about it on here :)
Therefore, lately I've really been trying, slowly but surely, to play to my strengths in life, and try to do what makes me happy.
One of those things that makes me really happy is YouTube. I know, I know, my dream of YouTube stardom was kind of far-fetched last summer. And I agree that it was kind of silly for me to think that I would gain popularity for just recording my life. Not so much. However now that I have my pretty new MacBook Pro (!!!), I am starting the (slow) process of trying to make actual videos for my channel. And I am REALLY excited. Ideas keep coming to me for videos and spoofs I want to make. I am totally loving it. Not to mention it would feel amazing to actually complete a project which I haven't done in the longest time. I want to feel good and happy again about what I'm doing not just WITH my life but IN my life.
So this blog really was not to promote myself on YouTube (at least not yet). The point was to say that from now on I will be venturing out and concentrating on doing things that, although others may not find enjoyable, I do. And when it comes down to it, you really just need to do what makes you happy. Thanks Internet :)
