The TRUTH about YouTube | Celebrating 100k | Story Time Ramble | Esmerelda Watercolor| ASMR Triggers

In this special video, I share my journey about creating content for YouTube. I'll be uncovering all the highs and the lows as we celebrate reaching a milestone of 100k subscribers. Thank you so much for getting me there! I couldn't have done it without you!! Throughout my story, I will pause as we explore the soothing sounds of various ASMR triggers together, ranging from skin sounds to water jar sounds with reverb. Towards the end of the video, I paint Esmerelda in my whimsical sketchbook using my new water color set. I share my creative process, letting you in on what's going on inside my head as I paint. Get ready to be enthralled as we lift the curtain on YouTube, mental health, earning money, relationships and more- all while commemorating this milestone (I never thought I'd reach) with YOU! Thanks again, I couldn't have made it without my quiet, creative community.
