Covid changed the world in ways that we will never recover from in regard to social interactions. Shit isn't genuine anymore. Simple conversations cannot be had anymore because at some point throughout the interaction.... whether its the moment of (days later, weeks... & etc), the individual attempts to lure you into subscribing to their content. I am blunt and basically shut this down. Prior to these social changes, I wanted to make a unique mark of educating in regard to my spirituality, BUT I became turned off with the thought of this because of the way things are. The new "normal" is odd. Going viral wouldn't have been my focus and there are many that you can tell was never interested in that. I never felt your videos were geared towards that... You are genuine and I can 200% understand that the "thrill is gone" in regard to sharing content because of what it's perceived as, today. I'll inspire through my art and creative writing. 😊 Which also ties into the type of content that is out there. People are literally living every second of their lives... like, the Truman Show tried to warn us... BUT we didn't realize that. 😂 Like too many "content creators" are being exposed for many horrifying things...despite their "positivity". Cringe like a mf. I won't even go down the path of what people are doing to themselves. All I will say is that I didn't think "The PJ's: would have become a live action. 😂 Dating. I am glad I am married (just hit 12 years+). If I was not married, I wouldn't even involve myself. The vibe is SUS... Nothing is as it seems. That goes far beyond catfishing... The term for whatever is goings on doesn't exist. The vibe is well ahead of the "term." I will leave that there. Loc journey. I am not at my 8 year mark yet, but I understand what you mean. I sincerely do. The journey isn't "new" and once an individual learns what is needed in regard to the basics and evolves to just knowing what is up, there isn't a whole lot to be shared because when you realize your journey is (was) truly your own, the need to constantly share every aspect of this dries up. Like when you graduate with your degree(s). In the beginning, it's new and fresh.... You want to spread the news. Then, after time has passed, it's just what life is. The excitement isn't at a 10 anymore because it's your daily truth. I don't know if that makes sense?? Just know that I understand. For whatever reason, someone(s) tried to blast locs into the "trend" category.. That's some straight up mutant-minded shit. I choose to never undertand that. You are great, and I am glad you are still embracing life experiences. I am fairly ole' school. I am so thankful that none of the technology we have today existed back then. I enjoyed exploring the world and embracing my challenges, as well as evolving through my experiences. To see you choose this way of thinking is rare. Never lose that. Stay safe, always. 🙏🏽 I've always appreciated your vibe. Much inspiration throughout your journey. Although, this is the second time I've openly commented under one of your videos.
I love everything you said here. Shout out to you for breaking it into sections lol. You get me, you’re picking up what I’m putting down, and I’m grateful to have you in my orbit🙌🏽
Hey, likewise, thank you!! We have to look out for our like-minded. We are a rarity and never need to be validated, but it keeps the positivity flowing, knowing we're not alone in this universe. 🤌🏽 Stay safe and enjoy life. Until next time!! 🙏🏽@SammyDaGawd
I remember seeing videos of women with locs stating that they hated being stereotyped as spiritual girlies. "Just because I have locs don't mean I'm into that spiritual shit. It's just a hairstyle. People lock their hair for other reasons ." Now these same women are combing out their locs.
I definitely haven't been in the mood to create everything in my life content. I haven't made loc content in a while. I'll only add more loc content when it's something I'm actually happy about it. I've only been posting when it genuinely makes me happy. I feel like it's only so much I can talk about with my locs. I like them and I'm happy with them , dassit I feel you so much. My whole life isn't about content!
@@SimplyKeeSamone yesss that's why I have been focusing on the content I truly want to make. I want to record what makes me happy. I want to record meaningful content
You’re so real sis, yess I get turned off now that everybody is doing the same things .I’ve been off all social media for 2 months now & honestly I’m ok with it I have no urge to go back anytime soon . Well I’m still watching some RUclips but that’s it
Eyebrows are giving 🥰🥰🥰. Beautiful as always. I agree with you social media is not everything :) it’s best to be in touch with yourself/life. That’s what’s wrong with a lot of people now a days
I’m new to the locd life since I’m only a year and a half in, but I wasn’t aware there was a loc trend when I started them. I got locs because I work full time and take care of a sick parent and couldn’t keep up with my hair. I wore it straight out of ease., but My bff has locs and she convinced me to try them out. Getting silk presses was damaging my hair and getting expensive. My hair is not my life so I don’t really focus on it too much.
Love that you're experiencing the spirit of "allowing." No forcing just letting your intention and energy speak for themselves. Ion know if you've found it challenging at times cuz it be hard as a MUG for a bih like me BUT I thoroughly LOVE hearing people live by the same law. What will be, will always be. Less force, more intention setting & letting go!
I haven’t seen u in so long! It’s great to see you ❤️❤️I feel like since the trends of everything (spirituality, locs, ATR, etc) it has been watered down so much and it’s so much better just flowing and doing your own thing..I too can’t stand band wagoners *no shade* but I get turned off as well from the influx, it was great to see the shift but😒 and girrrllll the bar been in heDouble hockey sticks, times have truly changed but imma stay hopeful and continue to water my own garden until God says otherwise kuz baybee I cannot 🥹😩
I like your content about health, especially reproductive health. We need to discuss this a lot more. Not just reproductive but hygiene is not talked about enough.
Hey Sammy! Nice to see you 😊 I'm still in the baby stages of my loc journey (1 yr and almost a month 💕2/14/23💕) so it's still a journey... for me. I'm still learning and understanding and connecting it to life and all the things (and getting slightly sad watching a few of my "influencers" and "inspirations" comb out their locs...but to each their own) but I completely understand how you are feeling because I became the same way in my loose natural journey (total of 10 years.) I found all the meaning and inspiration and awareness and had a hair routine that did it for me and then it was just... it. I loved it (and still encourage it), but then I transitioned/morphed into a fade cut girl but it became a lot to maintain (the one time in life I didn't want my hair to grow 😂) and then I decided to loc in (😅) to this idea that made me curious over the years. And I know I will get to the day where I will learn all there is to know about my locs (with some variations bc hair like the rest of our bodies changes) and at that point I will feel out how I want to continue (continue to waist length, color if I get greys, embrace the greys, color uniform grey to balance the process, etc) or transition to another step (maybe some length cuts and then a big chop to a fade) 🤷🏾♀️ when the time comes, I'll do as I feel not as the trend. And when I subscribed to your channel, I watched all your videos so I already know that the Content Creator career was not your goal so do as you please love. Your real ones will always see the new video notification and watch the video in full (and hopefully get you some coins in the process 🤑). I always loved that you didn't try to stay on trend and talked about the things that you really felt the need to talk about and spoke how you actually felt about them. Now, yes there are more serious things happening in this world and yes a lot of the content that is going viral is very unnecessary, and that's why I've always been very...specific?...intentional? with who I've subscribed to; I've chosen people who are living their lives with intention and purpose and what feels like honesty, who are looking to help/add to others, and not worried about hopping on trends of challenges and cap'n. Funny enough, it feels like all my main ones are starting to go through this same point of vlogging/recording less and living more and therefore rebranding or restructuring their channels. As much as I miss yall in the upload downtime, I'm happy for yall. I appreciate it when I see the Instagram posts/reels and when the videos upload with the next inspiration or the next update or the life lesson learned, I'm here for it. People have forgotten how to be human and how to people and the young ones coming up are so used to this life of recording that they really think it's normal ....almost mandatory and that part makes me sad and worried. So here's to real videos and humane conversations in the comments 💞
And to add to this...as much as I don't want to say this 🙈 lol...its okay if you feel this is the end to this chapter. If you feel that your not in a loc journey and don't want to repurpose the channel...girl, you can return to normal life and post (or not...but please do 😶🤭) on your social media accounts. If I'm every in the Atlanta area, I'll try to reach out so we can people a bit over a meal or exercise class or art exhibit whether you're on the tube or not.
Seems like the journey you’re on is filled with positivity and self-love ❤️✨! So exciting and love this for you 🥰! I get what you are saying about the content creators though. I started my channel and social media to help other moms because I feel like it’s important to see ourselves or people that look like us in the content we consume, and that are knowledgeable about things that affect our communities 🙏🏿. It does seem like an uphill battle sometimes and it’s definitely easy to get burnt out, but I’m grateful for the families I am able to reach ☺️! I enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏿! Also your editor is AMAZING ✨🤗!
Finally, you're the 1st person that I've heard say exactly what I've been thinking about the out of control content creating! I only got on RUclips to view content that would be helpful or beneficial to my life in particular loc care. I love your hair and personality! I don't follow trends, and I'm keeping my locs as long as I have hair on my head. It's more than a hairstyle to me. It's deeper than that, and I'll leave it at that! Anybody and everybody is getting platforms. So-called dating experts really annoy me-some causing more harm than good. I literally had to take a break from RUclips because of such negativity when it comes to relationships between women and men, amongst other things. I'm grateful for those sharing valuable content and answering questions I have of genuine concern! I just recently found out that people can make good money on RUclips. Everybody's not meant to be an entrepreneur, and I'll leave it at that... I got on RUclips in order to be able to comment here or there or interact. I agree wholeheartedly with you on this overly saturated content- some creativity, yet others piggybacking off of others to get likes, or whatever. So, naturally beautiful SammyDaGwd, thank you for sharing! Be safe, and I truly wish you the best living your best life in Atlanta!
This why i stopped 2 yrs ago. Shit whack asf. Not tap dancing for nosey people. I already made all the important content that should be discussed and its timeless content cuz the info will always matter.
Well done, Young One. You're coming into your own. Being watched for a living is NOT the vibe. Advertising, specifically, and corporations in general, tend to corrupt what they touch because of the greed undergirding profit motive. Go do your life, consider doing more to visualize the partner life you want, and enjoy this time. I actually chopped my locs off, but now I'm rocking my TWA, and I love it. Your content has definitely been a wonderful contribution to the overall self-love and acceptance of my natural beauty, regardless of how I wear my hair. Thank you so very much for your work. #LovelyNails #ChocolateLadyDoctorsRunTheWorld ❤
Hey Sammy it's always a pleasure watching your videos.!! Love the nails 🍀🤑💚💚💚 the greens poppin..Okay Loc detachment umm watching the girlies comb their locs out just expanded my love and appreciation for my mine. I find with these men out here the conversation be mad surface level they say all the good things about wanting to get to "know" you but there is no real pursuit unless it's on your part. And that's where it ain't nothing to cut that trick off lol because I don't chase I attract. ✨💫 And with content creating I feel creators that are creating with a true purpose cool lately I've been tuning out form ish that's just nonsense.
Yes, I'm right there with you. I started my loc journey in 2016, and it's really no longer a journey for me. I have no tips or tricks for you because everybody's journey is different. My loc journey is over at this point and I'm just trying to live my best life. It's just my hair! ✌🏾+🙏🏾+💡
We are alike in a lot of ways, that’s why I follow, it’s intresting to see someone similar to me. The doing something I wanna do & then seeing others follow bc it’s trendy, is a turn off, I’ve always been that way every since I was a kid… it’s just mad weird, I just wanna be…. We here for just you Sammy bc you a vibe! No matter what it is!
I definitely agree. It’s just too much at this point. I started living like I’m in the 90s….i might take one picture but I’m just trying to live for me. Not for the internet
I totally get it, Sammy. I am so over looking at all this lock content, and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to comb out their locs???? Then the same people come back on their channel after people probably have got disinterested in their channel and start a new set of locs??? Huh🤔 I don’t get it. What the hell are you doing? Such a turn off.
I also was a person who went with whatever I wanted to do regardless what was trending it was a coincidence when I started my loc journey was large attention on getting them it has been very interesting seeing people get their own locs and understand what each person experiences are on the journey since I started my journey I don’t have time or energy for people who don’t want to be positive with life
I’m so happy you are loving ATL! I’m from Florida moved to ATL and now up north but I’m not finding the vines up here like I’d thought(I’m in Massachusetts tho) do honestly thinking about going back south😭
I think a lot of people are trying to make money out of youtube content creation. I might be wrong, yes there are those that do it for attention and clout. I also gather this from the technology stack, to cooking to how to fix things at home etc. I hear you, on your reasons why you had a channel to begin with. 💛
I think ever since content can make people money it’s gotten super popular and people do the same thing as everyone else because 💰💰💰💰 or a lifestyle. I’ve been in RUclips for yearsssss so I enjoy just making videos of my life because I love looking back and seeing how much I changed and I’m proud of myself of who I am now. It’s like a video diary lol but I understand your complaint thou too but also respect the hustle and fun of it all. Yeah, ima bit sad there ain’t that much many Loc girlies now since I finally started my Loc journey but having locs or the same hairstyle for yearssss, knowing my black ass I might do the same in couple years once I get my goal length then get bored. Also being bald is soooo free! Lol Dating is ghetto af! But there are some rare gems out there! I hope you find him 💖
Yea the loc Journey has become VERY different lately, I’m also going through a transition spiritually so there’s that & this dating scene…… girl I like in a small town in TENNESSEE & same! In Tennessee period…. Dating is….. it’s very ghetto here & I just want God to just have my husband at my house with a sign pinned to his shirt tht says “this is your husband. -love God” like I’m too old for this & I hate it here! Why are guys so weird!!???
Omg I thought I was the only one. Any time a new trend comes out and everyone starts doing it, I’m just like I can’t. People nowadays too follow fashion!
Love your channel I’m in support I’m a fashion designer I do animation to check out Cardi b in my hoodie inspired by dreamzzz is the brand and collaborations with beautiful creators I’m in support of is my goal❤
Howdy. I think content creation fr like that on purpose like…folk have found money in that so folk wanna follow the money. People made money and ….consumerism…an idol in a sense. In MY pov lol. I think that’s why you’ll see one topic videos with sponsors and stuff. On dating, I’m really and grad school and like you’ve said before with….being intentional with who you let round and what you do, foolishness auto filters fr. Folks be deceitful and I pray you stay safe. As far as content I watch, I like learning about different things so the way Manifestelle approaches things like talking about dating and finances and dissects it is really interesting to me right now as well as Melody Alisa -faith-based content in general, but it’s giving more like researched podcasts / audio reflections kind of like what I’m doing with my students in the Black Thought Collective podcast. I thought it’d be cool to start a RUclips channel for myself like you did so I’m also considering that! Also to answer questions folks be having for me too like about research and writing and stuff like that. Typing this reminded me I got work to go do 😂😭
I agree andI must say you are wise for your years. Yes, Social Media has become a place for the fake and pretentious. I only indulge in n videos of how to’s and authentic people. The thing that bothers most is when you question or challenge the fakes they get upset like you shouldn’t have an opinion. Excuse me Mam or Sir you’re putting your business out there for public consumption, so I’m entitled to have an opinion, then turn the channel. Everyone knows what they say about opinions…lol

We are alike in a lot of ways, that’s why I follow, it’s intresting to see someone similar to me. The doing something I wanna do & then seeing others follow bc it’s trendy, is a turn off, I’ve always been that way every since I was a kid… it’s just mad weird, I just wanna be…. We here for just you Sammy bc you a vibe! No matter what it is!
I loved your live videos when you talked about everything. Lots, conspiracy, spirituality, Covid, and life. ❤❤❤❤❤
7:15 my sentiments exactly!
Girl preach, you are so correct 💯 and, if they're not keeping up with everyone else, Then they will do things for attention... You are Right!😊
I definitely agree. It’s just too much at this point. I started living like I’m in the 90s….i might take one picture but I’m just trying to live for me. Not for the internet
Missed you Sammy! Content is amazing as always!
Miss your content Sammy. The nails are fire. Keep us updated
I totally get it, Sammy. I am so over looking at all this lock content, and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to comb out their locs???? Then the same people come back on their channel after people probably have got disinterested in their channel and start a new set of locs??? Huh🤔 I don’t get it. What the hell are you doing? Such a turn off.
The internet has def gotten a little weird around content creation .
Always genuinely 💯 Glad you’re doing well
I also was a person who went with whatever I wanted to do regardless what was trending it was a coincidence when I started my loc journey was large attention on getting them it has been very interesting seeing people get their own locs and understand what each person experiences are on the journey since I started my journey I don’t have time or energy for people who don’t want to be positive with life
I’m so happy you are loving ATL! I’m from Florida moved to ATL and now up north but I’m not finding the vines up here like I’d thought(I’m in Massachusetts tho) do honestly thinking about going back south😭
Great to see you again Sammy!
I think a lot of people are trying to make money out of youtube content creation.
I might be wrong, yes there are those that do it for attention and clout.
I also gather this from the technology stack, to cooking to how to fix things at home etc.
I hear you, on your reasons why you had a channel to begin with. 💛
your hair is soooo cuuteee
I think ever since content can make people money it’s gotten super popular and people do the same thing as everyone else because 💰💰💰💰 or a lifestyle. I’ve been in RUclips for yearsssss so I enjoy just making videos of my life because I love looking back and seeing how much I changed and I’m proud of myself of who I am now. It’s like a video diary lol but I understand your complaint thou too but also respect the hustle and fun of it all.
Yeah, ima bit sad there ain’t that much many Loc girlies now since I finally started my Loc journey but having locs or the same hairstyle for yearssss, knowing my black ass I might do the same in couple years once I get my goal length then get bored. Also being bald is soooo free! Lol
Dating is ghetto af! But there are some rare gems out there! I hope you find him 💖
Loved this video.
Yea the loc Journey has become VERY different lately, I’m also going through a transition spiritually so there’s that & this dating scene…… girl I like in a small town in TENNESSEE & same! In Tennessee period…. Dating is….. it’s very ghetto here & I just want God to just have my husband at my house with a sign pinned to his shirt tht says “this is your husband. -love God” like I’m too old for this & I hate it here! Why are guys so weird!!???
Thiiisss!! I need for it to be explicitly clear at this point bc nobody has time for the nonsense🤦🏽♀️
Narcissistic demons lurking in the streets with ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Omg I thought I was the only one. Any time a new trend comes out and everyone starts doing it, I’m just like I can’t. People nowadays too follow fashion!
When’s the next upload, I love the vibes of ur content, and I’m only 15 seconds in😂
I have no idea lol 🫶🏽
I totally agree with you girl
Been a while Sammy
😍
I put you on 177 angel❤❤❤
Love your channel I’m in support I’m a fashion designer I do animation to check out Cardi b in my hoodie inspired by dreamzzz is the brand and collaborations with beautiful creators I’m in support of is my goal❤
Howdy. I think content creation fr like that on purpose like…folk have found money in that so folk wanna follow the money. People made money and ….consumerism…an idol in a sense. In MY pov lol. I think that’s why you’ll see one topic videos with sponsors and stuff. On dating, I’m really and grad school and like you’ve said before with….being intentional with who you let round and what you do, foolishness auto filters fr. Folks be deceitful and I pray you stay safe. As far as content I watch, I like learning about different things so the way Manifestelle approaches things like talking about dating and finances and dissects it is really interesting to me right now as well as Melody Alisa -faith-based content in general, but it’s giving more like researched podcasts / audio reflections kind of like what I’m doing with my students in the Black Thought Collective podcast. I thought it’d be cool to start a RUclips channel for myself like you did so I’m also considering that! Also to answer questions folks be having for me too like about research and writing and stuff like that. Typing this reminded me I got work to go do 😂😭

I agree andI must say you are wise for your years. Yes, Social Media has become a place for the fake and pretentious. I only indulge in n videos of how to’s and authentic people. The thing that bothers most is when you question or challenge the fakes they get upset like you shouldn’t have an opinion. Excuse me Mam or Sir you’re putting your business out there for public consumption, so I’m entitled to have an opinion, then turn the channel. Everyone knows what they say about opinions…lol
They go “why do you care so much/mind ur business” but like…….you’ve provided me your business, tf? lol
Women don’t want to approach men for the sake of a relationship, but will approach a random woman for being friends it’s weird for real
