scared to be proud

About yesterday's class

Youtube is my life. But talking about it makes me nervous. I don't like mentioning it when I talk to new people.  I feel like they treat me differently after they know about it because It evokes many really different thoughts, opinions and prejudices.  Some people don't like me afterwards without knowing me properly, some people start treating me as a celebrity and consider me perfect even if they don't know me properly and some people are neutral to it. I am proud of what I do, but at the same time I try to hide it. However I should learn to be okay with advertising myself.

Today in class we talked about youtube and the teacher asked me if it would be ok for me to talk and answer questions about how it feels to make youtube as a side job. As I said earlier in this post, I don't like mentioning it, but now I felt like I could actually bring out my point of view.  (I was so nervous that I was still shaking for an hour after talking). But even though I couldn't get the words out of my mouth, it went well.  Everyone was really friendly, thank you for your comments and question(s). 

The teacher gave me the idea of ​​blogging about my videos and the process of making them. Videos are my whole life, and yes I have a lot to talk about. I just didn't dare to bring it up before.

Sorry for english speakers, my videos are all in finnish.

    I've never had the amount of followers you do but I honestly yeah...When you hear someone is a Youtuber people have their own opinions on it beforehand.

    Your talk about it was very interesting! It was nice to hear about it, and I think most people were just generally curious and happy to hear as well!

    I'm glad to hear your presentation to our class was a positive experience! I can definitely imagine the different prejudices and bias people might have towards different social media professions, youtubers especially. I hope that'll change eventually since being a social media professional honestly should be regarded as a serious profession, and being one shouldn't affect how people see you as a person.
    Anyways, you're doing amazing so keep at it!! ♥

The terrible thing I did

Halloween video project Hi again! I was talking about my halloween special video in my last blog post and now it's been published. I was little scared that people will be angry that I do something that is not family-friendly content. I tried to make it very clear that this is a horror short movie so children and sensitive people be aware! People actually liked it a lot! I got so many good comments and many came to talk about it directly.  Message of the video was clear to most viewers. I am glad that Mirabella's story got viewers interest. Watch the video and tell in the comments how did you  interpret it? Making process The idea and inspiration Even though this is horror themed video, it has deeper meaning; school bullying. Video tells story of my alterego Mirabellas "birth". I don't want to open it too much, because certain things are meant to remain unclear. I'm inspired by role playing and story-telling i...

Hi! I've been doing a Halloween special video for the whole fall break and I'm pretty excited about it since I've wanted to do a video like this for long time. It is going to be a scary background story about my bad alterego character Mirabella. She lives on negative thoughts, like a mental illness. In the video, she is getting more alive every time she feels negativity, bullying, pressure and injustice. The scenes have been filmed in many different locations, I even booked a classroom from my former upper secondary school for shooting one scene. Here is one picture from the shooting~ Video will be published in Halloween 31.10.2019 - Miranda

How vulnerable it is to be a social media influencer. There is this new update coming out in YouTube in January 2020 named Coppa (Children Online Privacy Protection Act) and I'm  terrified .
