My YouTube Plan

I am working on combining my technical skills, storytelling, deadpan humor, and artistic shots into one type of video. My goal is to create a new type of video format no one has ever seen before, combining the technique of film with the intimacy of speaking to only one person, layered with both seriousness and humor.

Previously I wanted to explore every topic possible, and try every format possible, and explore the extent of my creative range. 

As time goes on the videos will probably be more “consistent” and able to “snowball” a bit better. I loved making a documentary but it was too impersonal. I loved making post ironic comedy but it was too unserious. I loved making introspective vlogs but it was too focused on me. I loved doing vintage restorations but it was too technical. I want to combine pieces of those aspects into something stronger. Something that can stand in an even better place because it used the best of every previous video.

If I had stayed with handbag or watch videos the channel would have snowballed by topic. But I wanted to create something new and have the freedom to explore any topic.


Still, I am very scared. I feel like a bit of a fool making these obscure videos and stare at the numbers too much!


Please let me know what you think of the next video.

The first week of having a flip phone

The first week of having a flip phone has been amazing. I have so much more time now. Almost too much time. I get everything I wanted to get done and more. I have so much less chatter in my head about how horrible I am. I still have it but there's less time spent on that and more time doing what I need to get done.

I want to become a really great video editor.

first few days using a flip phone

{ these are journal entries from my flip phone}

i got a kyocera digno 920kc in pink. it's been life-changing. here is how i felt the first few days, starting with july 1, 2025.

day 1 ๐Ÿฆ„d=(^o^)=b๐Ÿฆ„
wow. i really like this phone! i feel like the loud thoughts in my head are quieter now. my smartphone gave my brain too many ideas to process in a short period of time. i'm looking forward to getting texts to work on this too.


day 2 has been amazing. i enjoyed texting my husband when out and not getting into instagram scrolling. next i want to text without looking at the keys and use my iphone less


day 3 ๐Ÿ–️ has been great too. i'm getting faster at typing without looking and really enjoying waking up to texts instead of the internet. also the battery seems amazing from normal use. i'm trying to figure out which devices to use when and realized my ipad has mostly been unused lately.
