When I decided that I wanted to start posting videos on YouTube, there was one thing I promised myself: I would not try to get loads of subscribers. If someone liked my video and wanted to subscribe, that's great, but I wouldn't try to recruit people or whatever. It's just fun making videos. No matter how crappy they are, I enjoy it. And it's Productive Procrastination, which is the best thing EVER.
3 videos and 7 subscribers later... and I've already broken my promise.
My amazing friend, Lucy, just sent me a personal message on YouTube telling me what her little brother thought of my videos and saying that he was gonna add me as a friend. This message was so sweet and lovely and made me happy inside, but do you know what I said back? "If he subscribes I'll give him an invisible prize." Obviously I said more that that... but that's the main part.
Now I officially hate myself even more than I did before... so I wrote him a little message saying hi and I apologised to Lucy... and I have learned a BIG lesson.
Subscribers don't matter, it's friends that count. It's friends who give you the best, most constructive feedback, and it's friends who are always there showing their support. Even if each of my 7 subscribers unsubscribed now, I'd still be happy.
Because with lovely friends like Lucy around, nothing else matters.
