Summer of 2022 is the summer to summarize. Was counting my professions with husband last night: full-time mom, musical storytime teacher, baseball/soccer coach, school volunteer, nonprofit management, freelance on social media outreach, writer, plus what I'm gonna get back to at xxx. Guess what, what about me making Youtube videos, doesn't count as a profession? Well, at least sort of. Only if I have more motive and time, I would make a living out of it, maybe, why not?
Raj always says my "Youtube account is a mess, all kinds of things there". Yes, it's true. Already tried to separate some content into different channels. Whatever under my personal account is a reflection of me - multiple-sided and chaotic...
But I did try my hand at making Porshe-looking videos. Those are not easy. I wrote the scripts for weeks even months each, did a lot of research while writing. Then I spent at least a few weeks compiling one video. Total hours of intense editing? I would say every minute in the video took 1- 2 hours. Especially the translations from English to Chinese or from Chinese to English. Such videos do require ultra-focus and real hard work.
Why do I progress at such a slow pace? Because unless I can do this full-time, otherwise adding the workload on top of my daily schedule brings ache and soreness to my eyes, neck, back, shoulders and wrists.
If the world rewards the actual work people do to make it a better place, I would be a millionaire by now. All the work I have done has been for free. All of it. I am "worthless" in terms of materialistic measures, and that's for extremely shallow people to conclude. Anyways, who the heck cares about what those people think right?
Really proud that I at least produced many high-quality videos below. Both in Chinese and English.
Moving forward I would love to make more videos like these and I do love this way of expression, besides writing random stuff, making random videos, or writing books. Just will advance very slowly :)
