Happy 2 Months!

Hello everyone!  Today marks the end of my second month making ASMR videos.  I have been watching ASMR videos for close to three years now, but I never had any inclination to make videos.  Then September came, and I was taken by a sudden strong urge to start---seriously, I got up off the couch and needed to make a video.  I wanted to do it in the hopes that I could provide the same gift to those who had helped me sleep every night.  I posted my first video, and the next morning I had six subscribers---and that was AWESOME to me.  I thought it was wild that anyone wanted to see my videos.  I slowly began to get more subscribers, and then encouragement from people that I turned to for my own restful nights.  I can't describe how it feels to have someone you watch often, admire, and feel grateful for, write to you in support of what you are trying to do---it's exhilarating.

The community has been so warm and welcoming to me.  I feel so lucky that this community exists, and that it is so kind and accepting in nature.  We are all joined by our experiencing ASMR, but we all experience it differently---yet for the most part, we respect each other and our individual triggers.  I love that.  

As a result of the two months that have flown by, I now have 3,918 subscribers, and 300,778 views.  This blows me away!  I never thought that I would find a hobby that I enjoy as much as I do making ASMR videos.  I watch ASMR videos for sleep at night, and now I make them for my own relaxation during the day.  I have gotten to revisit my childhood, and discover hidden treasures because of this endeavor.  I am so thankful to everyone for your letters, artwork, comments, the new friendships, and most importantly for allowing me the opportunity to find an new additional source of happiness in my life.  Every day I get to learn about myself, revisit my past, and feel fulfilled doing something that might help people (instead of just watching television).  

 I sincerely hope that my channel provides you with what you need to sleep, relax, or just go to bed with maybe a little less worry, and a little more happiness.   I know what it's like to not be able to shut your brain off, I know how frustrating it is to be laying in bed for hours, checking the clock, and wondering why you can't fall asleep.  We are all very lucky to experience the "tingles," and I hope that we get to continue experiencing them together for a long time.  Thank you for everything.  <3
