YouTube and it's people

My life changed when I learned about this interesting site called YouTube. If you don't know what YouTube is then Google it. 

I vaguely remember the first videos that I watched on YouTube, but I think it was about Pokemon , not quite sure. As I slowly understood the contents that are being uploaded to the site, I slowly discovered some things that would change something in me. Like, how I appreciate cats even more now thanks to those cute cat videos. And I will never look at an orange the same way again. 

I became immersed to watching people cover popular and not so popular songs too. That's when I knew that there are more talented artists just waiting to be discovered. That's when I discovered the likes of Alex Goot, Sam Tsui, Tanner Patrick, Madilyn Bailey, and so many others. I diverted away from the main stream songs that they played on the radio and well, consulted youtube whenever I wanted to hear something that's new to my ears. 

Moving from people doing song covers, I also got immersed in people just talking to their camera and well, some do crazy shit, and some, well they just help other people survive life by giving them advice, and some do skits. Others upload daily videos wherein the content of their videos is about the things that happened in their day. I can say that these people are the one's that really had a strong impact on how I see things. And that is "Anything can happen". You should take that literally. 

Based on the title of this entry(?) I don't know if I'm spot on with the "YouTube and it's people" thing. Since, I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot of out. This is just like a snippet of how I came to know the site. Nevertheless, YouTube is very vast and it has become a new kind of platform for getting people's thoughts across and let's not forget entertainment too. 

Here are some of the content creators that altered my perspective on things:

P.S. I know this entry may sound a bit to cheesy and I am sorry for causing you such cheesiness. Okay, I don't know what I'm taking about anymore. 

Enjoy! x

Privacy

Having your own room means privacy. Privacy to watch the shows you desire or listen or rather blasting the music that you desire without worrying what other people would say; to contemplate your thoughts.

Growing up, I never really had a legit room to myself. I had a few rooms to myself, but only temporarily. until recently, I moved to my sister's house. Now take note that I never really wanted to move there, it was because of some certain events that I was kinda forced to. And recently, I eventually had a room to myself. Finally. 

My sister has two kids. Eventually, the kids will have to sleep in their own room. And that means, I have to share a room with someone (not the kids). One thing I don't like sharing a room is you don't have privacy. Well you have but it's kinda limited. 

I still have a few weeks to have the room all to myself before the kids take over.

I know this is really childish when viewed from a different perspective. It's just that some people are deprived of the simplest things that one could ask for. A simple, "I want to be alone for awhile".
