How To Make The Rocking Chair Video not Scary

@revenger211 3 years ago

This is a long ass comment, but bear with me. Since this video is my most popular video, for some whatever reason lol, I just wanted to tell the story behind it all. Almost 5 years ago, I was just a stupid kid with awful sense of humor (if you couldn't tell by watching this). I was the weird kid who didn't fit anywhere. I was socially anxious, and my classmates harassed me for it. I was bullied, humiliated and mocked. And so, the only place where I could find solace in this world was on YouTube. YouTube became a medium of escapism for me. I loved the process of coming up with an idea and sitting there cutting, editing and making it come to life. I just wanted to express myself on a medium where I didn't have to deal with social pressure. I genuinely just wanted to make people laugh. And so, it was few days before the final exams that year that I came up with the idea. "Surprise motherfucker is a funny meme, why don't I just combine it with rocking chair video lol" I didn't have time at home to finish it, so I downloaded the clips and audio on my laptop and decided to finish it at school. I was sitting there all alone at the table, editing this video while everyone was playing with their friends and joking about how I was the "lonely kid." Regardless, I finished the video and posted it. It gradually gained traction and ironically became my most popular video from a period I do not wish to ever remember. It became an analogy and a reminder for how far I've come. It became a symbol of persistence regardless of the pain I was going through. And so, although unnecessary, I'm thankful to every single person who sees this video and leaves a comment. It is always a reminder of where I once was as a person and how far I've come.
