I debating sharing this, but I figure you guys should know why I'm being less prolific lately.

So....I decided to record the answers to your Q&As and I'm trying to edit some of it (why do I blah blah for SOOO long - 1 hour guys?! I'm only 15m through editing it)

Anyway....this was an "outtake" from it. My ear is in discomfort the entire time recording and editing, but every now and again it reaches a peak of pain and is very instant like, one second I can handle it the next I CANNOT and I usually TEAR out the headphone and throw it and in this case I also fan my ear (usually removing it is enough but this was bad!). (you can hear my watch jingle as I fan my ear).

It was doing REALLY well, but the last few days, alas, it's so so so bad, I fear the worst it's been! Such a let down!

The nerve pain is now radiating down my jaw and even neck it's just so annoyinggggg!! It's frustrating because I have the desire and motivation to edit but it's really impossible when it's this bad  :(  And this was all supposed to rectify itself in 2 weeks. It will be a year in October. I'm beyond frustrated. It's so disheartening!


Side note, I discovered that simply commenting on larger channels is getting me more subscribers and views than uploads so that will tide my channel growth over while I have to take a step back to heal my nerve to a point where I can be productive.

I'm sorry to hear that, especially after you were doing so good for so long. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for you to take this long to heal. Do take the time to take care of yourself.

To be honest Aussie, between your nerve pain and the often very late nights you spend awake editing, I was hoping you’d decide to scale back your frequency for your own health’s sake. I understand that growing your channel is a big priority of yours, but I can’t help feel that you may have been pushing yourself too hard, especially with the addition of more visuals and Weekly ASMR Challenges etc. Hearing the amount of hours you’re putting in weekly along with all the late nights is eventually going to take it’s toll on your health. I’m happy your going to slow down and hope that you can reach a happy balance between YT and your personal life. Look after yourself and I hope this nerve pain gets sorted.

Thanks Leukos! Tell my brain that! ASMR is a passion of mine. I can't even stop myself from making it, I'm obsessed. It's been a wonderful creative outlet for me... Passion (Greek πασχω "to suffer, to be acted on" and Late Latin (chiefly Christian) passio "passion; suffering" (from Latin pati "to suffer")) is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something.

Petrarch. The growth of my channel isn't fuelling my dedication to creation. I just love it. The actual days I upload, at 2x a week speed, is the only amount of pressure I feel. I would spend every spare minute making ASMR regardless if my channel was growing or not. I genuinely LOVE making it, i'm obsessed....it's my greatest passion right now. (see above for translation of passion in the way i mean it). I do hope I will manage to slow down, I think i'll have to etch a few days out purely for script righting and thumbnails only, so no headphone touches my ears on a few days a week. That way I can still be doing what I love but not annoying my ear haha. Thank you Petrarch. I do try to look after myself, but it's hard to stop oneself when one is so passionately in the swing of things! :p
