Things might not change.

Transcript:

I have no plans to quit YouTube! I hope to continue doing this for a long, long time.

Many of you who’ve been with me for years know that I tend to take a lot of breaks. The vast majority of you have always been very kind, thoughtful, and understanding about this. In this sense, over the past few years, I’ve been on the receiving end of more kindness than most people have been in their whole lives. I promise you I never forget this.

However, after my last couple of notes about taking breaks, I’ve gotten a lot more aggressive, mean comments about it than I usually do.

Again, as always, the vast majority of you have been astonishingly kind and supportive.

And that means so much more to me than a handful of unhappy people lashing out with cruel words.

(And, yes, I understand that that’s not about me, that those people have their own issues, and that some people just cope with sadness and fear by trying to bully other people. It’s not okay, but I do understand not to take it personally.)

But the uptick in cruel comments did make me want to address this:

Things might not change.

I might always be going back and forth between producing content regularly and taking breaks.

I don’t like it. For over 8 years it’s been my dream to be successful enough with this channel that I can be relatively financially independent. And that’s just not very likely for channels that post irregularly.

But over the years I’ve seen what happens when I try to push through the more difficult things in my life to make regular content, and I just can’t do that anymore. It’s not safe, and I have 3 children who need me. And I know that most of you are totally supportive and understanding when it comes to this.

I’ve always been pretty comfortable being transparent here about my physical and mental health.

(At least to some degree.)

However, I’ve also always been a fairly private person when it comes to my personal and family life. I am a very lucky and blessed person in countless ways, but there are also a few details about my life that can make things very complicated and unpredictable. And some of these are things that may never change.

So, if you’re one of the smaller group of people who feels frustrated with me for how I’ve presented myself or my situation online, it’s okay to go ahead and unsubscribe. I’d rather you leave than stick around and get more and more frustrated until you lash out with something mean. That’s not good for either of us.

While it will continue to be my dream to be able to produce frequent content, I also want to be transparent about the fact that I just can’t promise that. I may always be popping in from time to time with little stories about why I have to step away again.

I don’t ever want to quit YouTube. I love making these videos too much. But also—objectively, realistically—I can’t promise to be consistent. This is just what it is. Let’s just leave each other alone if we’re unhappy with each other, okay? There are more important things.
