Total-tea Inspirational :)

I know that very few people, if any, read my blog. My audience comes and goes and a lot of the people read because they've been informed that they were mentioned in my blog (like my previous posts about Playlist Fiction and a few of my friends from last years theme month posts.) Anyone who doesn't know about my theme posts, I did an entire year of theme months last year where each month had a theme and a purpose and EVERY DAY I did something to go along with that. It was amazing! I'd love to do it again in future years. But now to the point of this blog post.

I don't watch a lot of youtube videos. But I do have certain people that I do watch on youtube. I watch The Pemberley Digital videos (I'm a Jane Austen Fan through and through, so of COURSE I watch Pemberley Digital) I watch some of the youtubers, such as PetesJams, Gary C, Emma Blackery, and Carrie Fletcher. There are others too but these are my current main ones. I started out watching Carrie Fletcher a few years ago. She's several years younger than me but I felt like she was a kindred spirit to my own personality. Then I started watching Emma Blackery who seems like a "takes no crap" kind of person and I LOVE that. Why do I love this? Because I strive to be that. She's got a mouth on her but you just can't help but be amused (and absolutely LOVE that about her), because...well, She's Emma! Next is PetesJams... who my autocorrect keeps trying to name PeeJunes. I don't know why but I think it might possibly amuse even him. Please, just don't start calling him that. haha  (no really I once nicknamed Jeremy Camp, the Christian artist, "One Post Wonder" as a joke on his Message Boards, about 15 of the other members actually started calling him that and while he was amused it ticked a LOT of people off) Then Gary C, He's just an honest and fun guy in his videos.

That being said, 3 of the 4 of these people LOVE Disney, like obsession worthy love, with a side of belting out all Disney tunes that they know which is quite possibly to any Disney tune in existence. Anyone that knows me, knows that my 28 year old self does that exact thing. In fact I've been known to go through stores belting out songs from Tangled, Frozen, Beauty and The Beast (my favorite) and so many more.  I've also been known to nickname people after certain things in Disney movies (I have 2 Exit Buddies, Finding Nemo)

Then there is Emma Blackery, if you have no idea who that is, please look her up on Youtube (look them all up actually, please)  the girl bravely shaved her head for charity, at Summer in the City. Just wow! She even said she felt like doing that she was shaving all the bad things out of her life. The girl is legendary in my mind just for that brave and strong act. She's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Each of these people are inspiring in their own ways. They are young adults, and their audiences are young teens and older. I consider myself among those of their older fans and I'm just thankful for each of them.

Carrie has recently put up a few videos that are PERFECT for where I'm at in my life, as I try to grasp at a small bit of happiness, then she's filmed videos with PetesJams that have just been amazing, their I See The Light video is absolutely amazing. Beyond that, she just did videos with Gary C. She is finishing up her first book and she's Eponine in Les Mis currently (again, if you know me you know I LOVE Les Mis and that Eponine has always been my favorite)

Pete, Gary, and Emma I haven't really been watching as long but I can tell you this about all 4 of these people. Our world is always looking for people to make it a better place and the Youtube community is full of people like that. These 4 (and Dodie, another great youtuber) as well as many others are a great example of that.

I'm so inspired right now. I've been out of college for 4 years, searching for a job and coming up short every time. Trying to hold onto myself in the midst of so many trials that fling at me... and it's been hard. So very hard. Getting rejected from having my dream job because I'm female, or because I'm an unmarried female, then because I may not tithe all the time (I give money to church when I can, but I mean it's hard to tithe when you don't have a job. God gets that, why can't churches? Why can't people except that when you can't tithe money at least you try to tithe TIME?!) Anyway my dream job for those of you who might be new, was once Youth Ministry. I don't really have one anymore though, unless you count finally finishing a book, which my ADD will mostly not allow.

I've been thinking of starting to make videos and actually vlog on my youtube channel. But I just don't know. I think I might just leave it to these amazing inspirational people. Besides, a Kentuckian hick accent is less enjoyable than British accents any day! lol! But...

The point is, these 4 and so many other youtubers are so very inspirational and I'm so thankful for them. I'm thankful for the smiles they bring to my face and the faces of so many others, I'm thankful for the tears they've helped me shed just when I needed to, and I'm thankful for them understanding what I'm going through when it feels like no one else does, even though they don't even know they are doing it. It's amazing how you can feel understood by people who live so far, people you've never met, people who don't have the same background as you at all but you are all united by something. Even if it starts with being united by youtube.

I doubt they'll ever see this, and that's completely fine. But I just wanted to say thank you, and it would be amazing if I got to meet you all one day and give each of you hugs. Until then though, to Emma, Gary, Carrie, Pete, Dodie, and any other amazing youtubers:

That will have to do! haha 

To any of their viewers reading this. Thanks for going on this viewer journey with me, you are all fabulous and amazing and I'm so glad that you understand how inspirational they are too!
