In this journal entry ep 2, I’m sharing how content creation genuinely changed my life in just 60 days—and it’s way deeper than “I grew followers.” I take you back to my first ever YouTube video when I was nine (literally a night routine, very SevenSuperGirls-coded) and how, even though I wasn’t “the creative kid,” YouTube was always in the back of my mind. I talk about the years I spent overthinking, feeling cringe, hiding my uploads from friends, and convincing myself I wasn’t cut out for the creative world… until I finally chose myself and posted anyway. I also catch you up on life: moving back to Melbourne after my exchange in Montreal, resting at home in Malaysia because exchange exhaustion is so real, and settling into a cozy, vibey three-bedroom with my friends. Then I break down the real turning point—my gap year (the year that changed everything), discovering UGC in 2023, posting daily on fresh accounts, going viral, hitting 10K in two months, landing paid collabs, and even my first five-figure month. But the biggest thing I gained wasn’t money or followers—it was confidence. My main takeaways: fall in love with the process, play the long game, build genuine connections (the internet can literally give you friends in a new city), and don’t wait until you feel “ready.” Just post that video.
