The 'P' Word

Patreon for anyone that didn't know has seen to be viewed as something controversial, thus the title for this particular blog post. 

I have been reflecting on the pros and cons of this website now and have decided to ask you, if you think if it is a good idea for me to pursue it.

For anyone that doesn't know, Patreon is basically a reward and pay system for your favourite Youtubers to help them get better equipment and be more stable in terms of emergencies ( equipment breaks etc).

In the grand scheme of things, I never thought anything I do or did was worth someone offering '$100 a month'.

So I ask you, what do you think about Patreon? Love it/hate it? Should I pursue it?

Get to know me

I could just put a bunch of facts about me down below, but I figured that'd be the most impersonal way for anyone to get to know me (if they wanted to).

I am a very quiet person. I often find the company of myself more satisfactory than the company of others. I've been like this ever since I was a child, and saw it to be normal until I was a teenager, when words were pinned down by pen to describe 'quiet people' like myself.

I'll hold the door open for you and smile to assert that i'm a good person to someone who may not know me.

I have always tried to show you my best side. The side which I am most proud of, because what I do has helped me identify with myself that I am a better person than I thought I could ever be.

Consider my ASMR videos to be the 'holding the door open' for you. I may never know you personally, but i'd still do it, to make someone's day a little easier. Whether that 'door' is opened for 1 person, or many more.

Video Idea: ASMR designed for outside your home?

I think at least once in our lives, we've all sat awkwardly by ourselves during our breaks, lunches or other daily activities. Some of us struggle to concentrate from an up building of anxiety, or eat without worrying who is watching us stumble a few crumbs down our clothes.

I know what it is like to spend lunch times alone and worry who may possibly be judging me.
So I have decided to go ahead and make a series of videos designed as a set conversation for different environments. So perhaps an mp3 conversation whilst you're at the library, your lunch breaks, during revision. Any environment where you would think you wouldn't enjoy being alone..

I must state. Of course there are plenty of people who enjoy their own company, and being alone is nothing to be ashamed of, as your own solitute can; on many ocassasions, be very comforting.

New Year's Resolutions

A new year will most certainly not promise a 'new me'. But merely an adaptation of the traits I already have. To those that saw my Facebook post this time last year, you know this time of years overwhelms me with an immense amount of anxiety. I cannot sit back and tell you my year has been one of pure joy and seemingless joy. In all honesty, without pause for thought, this has been the hardest year of my life. But I thank the trials of this year as they have allowed me to broaden my views and seek solace in some very beautiful things that the world has to offer.

My intentions for a new year are always positive and something I always believe I can grasp. For 2015, I intend to limit myself to things I feel I can reach.

To give blood. I saw a friend of mine post that she had given blood. Whilst the prospect seems scary, I hope to go through with this at least once this year. I hope to document this and show you. Not only for my own personal solace, but as a way of helping you see me for well.. Me? :)

To focus on my education. I let things in my life shadow the path I am already on. This year will mark so much importance to me. So I hope to find a balance (moreso in the favour of education) regarding my education and my personal life.

To have a positive outlook. I cannot force myself to be happy in moments of sadness. Nor can I force myself to smile in moments of sorrow. But I want to see the bright side to almost every moment. This is an intention I hope to fulfill. Perhaps I'll keep a jar and fill it with all the happy moments of my year, and reflect on it at the end of 2015

If you are reading this, and feel comfortable enough to open up, feel free to let me know what your New year's resolution is. Heres to a beautiful new year

Good evening

Hello and good day to you, wherever you are in the world. I opened this blog up over a year ago and sadly; but very easily disconnected myself from it without cause. So I have decided to be entirely more active with it. I figured the excuse of a new year would be a good push to entice me to pursue it. Anyway, my name is Laura and on this blog, expect to see anything from one end of the scale to the other. There will be no schedule nor specified topic, so always be on the lookout for posts moreso on the meaty side, or on some days a little more flimsy. What I can guarantee is that this blog will allow a sense of comfort for myself and allow myself to open up a little more. The blog will connect heavily with ASMR, so do not worry about any possible deterrence in that aspect, but as I previously mentioned, do expect posts of various 'pickings' so to speak...
