Hello and welcome to my YouTube channel.
I haven’t done a nice sit and chat type of video like this in a very long time.
I think the last one I did was probably the one I did in January about my sexuality.
Which I still get messages about from people going oh my gosh you helped me so much I didn’t
know what I was going through and now I understand.
And that's the greatest thing because it was just a personal video about my experiences
and to know that I've had a positive impact on so many of your lives is so amazing to
know.
And to be honest, I wanna do more stuff like that.
I wanna be more open, more honest of a YouTuber.
I think I used to have a second channel where I used to do that, but now that's dedicated
to travel.
I have a snapchat, but that's limited to 10 second clips.
Tumblr is probably the closest thing, but even then it's just text.
And I don't really think you can really understand someone via just text because I could spend
an hour typing up that paragraph.
You don't know how long those words have been crafted to say exactly what I want to say.
But I feel like you get to know someone a lot more when they're talking openly.
And that's why I like that I'm able to do these videos sortof in one take, and by sortof
I mean... they are.
But that way you know.
There's nothing I'm really hiding.
I'm not memorising anything.
This is all coming off of the top of my head.
That's why I'm trying to do live shows every Tuesday.
People ask me, Evan, how different are you via online VS real life.
Do you have an online personality?
That's a big chat that's going around.
I think Dodie did a reply to Olan Rogers and crabstickz.
And they're all talking about this type of thing.
I don't really have one?
I think the main difference between who I am online and who I am in real life is that
I'm a bit louder online.
It's like: Hey how's it goin? *pull out the camera*
HEY HOW'S IT GOIN?
Like my voice just amplifies just a little bit and I don't know why, but I've noticed
that; friends have noticed that.
I'm like okay, if that's the one difference... that's it.
I mean people know who I am because even in my travel vlogs and such I still do puns.
I'm terrible with it.
I do them all my friggin life.
All throughout work.
Everything.
(...)
Many puns.
Honestly, this week I got one of the coolest packages I've ever received in my entire life.
And that is this silver plaque commemorating that I got 100,000 subscribers on my YouTube
channel.
And that's literally because of all of you.
Every single one of you watching this is the reason that I have this.
And I just wanted to say thank you SO much.
When I started making videos 5, 6 years ago, I didn't ever, ever, ever think I'd get anywhere
near this.
I didn't know what I was doing really.
I was talking to a camera.
Because that was what I wanted to do.
I was bored.
I wanted to get over my ex-girlfriend.
I had many reasons.
I was like: this is like a podcast with a video.
I can do it!
I can just make friends.
And you know what.
I wouldn't be living in London with my best friend.
I wouldn't have the job that I have.
I wouldn't have gone to America last week, I probably wouldn't have gone to Australia,
and I might not even be in England if I had not started making YouTube videos.
And to me that's really crazy!
That this little website has changed my life so much.
Last night I was at a work party, and by that I mean that I was actually editing a travel
vlog for 4 hours and people kept going why aren't you drinking?!
Why aren't you having fun?!
I've got stuff to do.
And you know what?
I don't hate it; I love it.
The reason that I make these videos is because I love making videos.
Why would someone put themselves through doing all this to get famous?
To make money?
I don't know.
That can be someone else's prerogative.
But personally, I just love making videos.
I love making travel vlogs.
I love sharing my life with you guys.
Because it's me.
If you see me collab with someone it's because I like them.
It's because I'm friends with them.
It's not because I'm trying to game the system or get views, or any of that.
I'm just trying to have a fun time with a friend.
And ya know, there's so many other YouTubers out there in the world that you could be watching,
but you are right now taking the time out to watch me.
And for that, I'm just saying thank you.
I know this isn't a standard video.
I haven't made any puns yet.
That might not be your cup of tea!
Ya know what, like I said this wasn't scripted.
And that was also really bad, but I just wanted to take the time out of your day, my day to
say thank you.
I appreciate you and I hope to make more content, more videos that you like.
I wanna make more personal stuff.
I have a couple things I've been working on.
I'm working on a song.
I'm working on a poem.
Because poems.
There's a lot of like, personal stuff that I kinda hint at I wanna share with you.
But I wanna make sure I word it right because you know, you don't wanna say the wrong thing
on the Internet.
And I dunno.
That's it.
It's a nice chill video.
I hope you've enjoyed this nice sit and chat.
Please tell me how you're doing; I like doing these videos every once in a while and I want
to actually know how you're doing.
I'm going to try and respond to every single comment today in this comment section.
So please, let's have a chat.
Let's have a banter (lol).
Li'l cheeky nandos.
And also chat with yourselves down there.
I honestly want to have a nice li'l community that I already have.
I wanna build you guys up and be good friends.
So thank you so much for watching.
And I hope that you guys have an amazing rest of your week.
The summertime is here in England so I'm gonna go outside and have a walk in the park (no
seriously).
*cue catchy whistling outro* *swoosh*
Oh man, you don't know how much I've been wanting to drink this tea the entire video,
but you can't really drink after you start a one-take video.
You have to start it and just keep going.
I love earl grey so much.
It is earl greyt.
