(UNSEEN) 10th mini-vlog of September 2018 (2018) #137a

hi my loves! this is my 10th mini-vlog from September 2018! I usually break up up my monthly mini-vlogs into a few because I simply have so much footage from each month, so it makes more sense to break it up like this.

However, September 2018 in particular is a month of HUGE volume of vlogging content, so there's most likely going to be more than the average amount of vlogging content from September 2018 as a result.

This vlog includes:

1) BTS footage of my fashion and music videoshoots, fashion photoshoots photos, music composition process, me playing and singing ukulele (and my composition process for my "park" song on it as well)

2) BTS footage of me editing my content for YouTube (and some of what I released on YouTube) 

3) BTS footage of my life juggling being a college student, worker, and artist/content creator.

4) a really big moment in my life where I actually said out loud that I felt that although I was going to finish my degree and apply to transfer, that what I would probably do after I finish my degree and apply to transfer is to not actually transfer to another college but to work, make money, focus on my side hustles, and build what would become the successful online business I have today. 

5) some footage of me rapping to cardi b's "red barz" from October 2017 that I posted in September 2018.

6) some of my music I recorded in my teens/pre-teens and the recording process of my music back then on an electric piano I have. 

7) me talking about my play-by-ear and memorize-quickly style of being a musician and composer

8) me talking about how I re-injured my trapezius the last time I went to twerk class (the footage of that day has been uploaded) + carrying something heavy afterwards. I think it's possible that part of the reason why I went to the park to feel better playing/making music, doing fashion modeling videoshoots and photoshoots was because I was feeling sad and crying earlier from the stress of whatever I was going through (partly due to my injury). Back then it was hard for me to afford the $15 co-pays to get my injuries treated, etc... so there were times where I wouldn't be able to get treatment for my injuries because I couldn't afford the co-pays. honestly it really was hard for me to work so hard, get paid close to nothing, and not even be able to take care of my injuries. that's a big part of what drives me to this day. I never want to be in this position ever again. I was very lucky it was a relatively minor injury that time because in 2017 I injured my hamstring and my trapezius, and my hamstring in particular took over 6 months to heal. I couldn't dance for over 6 months. and in 2021 I got rear-ended in a car accident, which also prevented me from exercising and dancing in the way I love for over 6 months. injuries are never fun and what I learned is you never actually make a full recovery from the injuries. they stay with you. you heal, but never 100%. with every injury, you and your body will never be the same. but we carry on and we're able to live :) ... the toughness and resilience I developed from recovering from my injuries to the point where I can function close to how I used to is incredibly valuable and makes me appreciate my life and health and take better care of myself that much more. anyway,...

9) and more!

these mini-vlogs take me a lot of time to prepare, so I hope you enjoy them!
