My YouTube Channel

In addition to being the creator of the blog Hopes Thoughts I also have a small YouTube channel that I post lifestyle content like vlogs, what I wear in a week, day in my life, testing makeup products, what I eat in a day videos and much more!

I started my YouTube channel in May of 2020 a few months after the pandemic hit in March; I didn’t know when I’d be going back to school and I was barely seeing my friends. This meant a lot of time by myself and not knowing when I’d see the kids in my grade, classes and teachers I dreaded!

I had always watched YouTube and even tried to start a channel in grade seven, but looking back on those videos they were terrible not to mention middle school is probably the worst time for a kid to try and be different without being embarrassed or made fun of. When the world shut down I decided I wanted to give it another go after a few months of being in such a deep hole of sadness, feeling lonely and the most bored I’ve been in my whole life. I didn’t know how long the channel would last because it is a lot of work to put in and I also have an obsessive personality so a lot of things come and go. I am very proud to be able to say for about 11 months I have consistently been uploading videos that make me happy and give me a purpose! My YouTube Channel is now something to keep me motivated and gives me a place in society where I feel normal as well give me a feeling of at ease which I haven’t felt in a quite a while.

If you want to get to know more of my bubbly, compassionate and sarcastic personality that I don’t always share I would recommend watching some of my videos and also reading my Meet Hope blog post
