Honey, my 13 year old self probably would have been on YouTube talking about MySpace who was on my top 8 talking about the anger that I had towards my parents and...
Oh lord, my 13 year old self would have been on YouTube talking about having a baby. Girl, I just had a baby at 13 and ain't nobody out here helping me. What the fuck is going on?
I'm just going to tell you my whole story. You know, it's actually very interesting and very motivational. So I started when I was little, around eight years old. I had a little mini camera running around and recording myself.
These videos had no rhyme or reason, you know, I was only eight, you know, I ran around using the nerf gun pretending to be, you know, the latest Call of Duty and stuff like that and, you know, it really had nothing to it, but then I went to MCC.
So Manchester Community College, they had a special event for 11 year olds and you know kids so I went and I learned how to edit at the summer camp and from then on I made all sorts of films made my first one John's Journey to Work.
I showed it in front of an audience and I never had an audience like it so much. So after that when I started high school around that time, I started to make different films throughout. I made a YouTube channel called Mr. Cinema Wolf.
On that channel I would make commentary where I would make videos about you know Star Wars, about the latest craze, I was about to you know bash the last Jedi and how horrible it was. You know I was talking about film and music how important music is in film.
But sadly, I got bullied. When they looked at the films, they said it was trash, it was horrible. And, you know, I stopped making them and I regret that. I really, really do.
I look back at my films, Mr. Cinema Wolf, and you know, they actually were decent. It was actually really good. You know, my 14-year-old self made these videos and I'm actually, I actually am surprised I was able to make something like that.
I feel like if I stuck with it, I probably maybe could have had a decent channel. But I didn't. And you know, that's just the shame of, you know, not believing in yourself. However, now I'm a man of God, so you know, I have more ambition and different intentions for my films.
Hope you enjoyed this story. I think it really answers your question, but in many different ways, you know So if I were to tell myself, I'd probably say hey, man, keep going with those videos. Don't let anyone tell you anything You know keep trying.
Amen. Thank you very much for sharing the story and it was definitely full of inspiration and knowledge. I would have also said the same thing to you that...
that nobody should let anyone you know demotivate the person and nobody should let anyone tell anybody anything other than what the person feels that you she's capable of.
and whatever turns him or her on. So I would have also done the same thing. I would have just made videos and posted it without even thinking about any agenda or any kind of analysis.
And chances are that most probably the videos would have been about all sorts of things like you know about school, about teachers, about friendships, about family, about...
About online, you know, Facebook stuff or but could have been about anything for the matter, about an ant, about the games that we play. Could have been about anything for them.
My 13 and self is basically make a story about my life on YouTube and letting other kids know that everything would be okay. And they are in destiny of their own life and future.
I would have definitely been one of the beauty gurus, you know, like Bethany Moter, Amanda Steele, Maddie Bragg, Chloe Couture, that type of thing. You know what I mean.
