    TIP FOR ALL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS! Wix is a great alternative to Etsy! They DO NOT take any commission from your sales, you only pay a fixed rate for whichever hosting plan you choose. Etsy recently announced that they're raising their commission from 3% to 5% per sale, which is damaging for many indie sellers. This can easily add up to $50-$100 a month going to Etsy just for sales commission, which is way more than any hosting plan from other platforms.
    I've finally completed Draw My Life, hope it answers many questions you guys might have :D. In a short summary, I was born in China, grew up in Vienna, studied in London and then worked as a designer for many years. In 2011 I was diagnosed with lupus which forced me to take a break from working and in that time I came up with the idea of starting a RUclips channel that doesn't focus on beauty, makeup or appearance. To make it clear, I'm not opposed to frivolous content (I obviously still like makeup and fashion) but I feel they are extremely over-represented on social media.
    When I started RUclips 5 years ago, there were very few female influencers who chose to remain off camera, and who didn't use their face and body as a primary source of content. This has actually changed a lot since then when all the DIY and life hack channels started taking off, so I was really happy to see that happen.
    For me, the difference between fashion/beauty content and DIY is attainability. If I make a slime or plushie DIY then I know with confidence that at least 90% of viewers can achieve the exact same results if they really wanted to, even if they live in completely different countries around the world. If I post lifestyle content of myself spending $1000 on clothes or cosmetics, then I know that less that 1% of my viewers can realistically replicate that experience. I feel that influencers have some form of moral obligation towards their viewers, instead of choosing to flaunt their blessings under the guise of "being inspirational".

    You’re so beautiful Joanna. Don’t let unrealistic social media and beauty standards get in your way or make you feel lower than others. You are loved for who you are and no one really cares for what you pretend to be , We care about who you really are and your happiness. Stay beautiful.

    Hello Joanna (I think that’s how you spell it,) and thank you. I appreciate that you’ve shared your story with everybody and have had to confidence to do so. I think, like you, that it is nice to have a woman influencer who isn’t just interested in looks and money. I like people who don’t care about looks and money and who are kind in general. You’ve showed that life isn’t just easy peasy and that you have to work for it. For example, when you said you had had lupus and that it wasn’t easy to recover from and regain your confidence, you said that you kept thinking positive and happy and that helped. I hope to be like you one day and I’ve watched you since I was very young. Thank you Joanna!!

    Wow.. 6 whole years of a headache ): I can find a similarity in that. I've had an unknown sickness for more than a year now, and i get constant dizziness. I went to different doctors and therapy. They told me that there was nothing wrong with me and could be just stress. I have a symptom of vertigo, but that's not a diagnosis. I have a busy life as well, including a job as a personal care aide/nurse!
    I am glad lupis (is that how you spell it?) doesn't affect your life! Or those headaches that you would have! It's hard on me at times, but been trying to endure it along with taking herbal tonics for now. I hope to find an answer one day! You're really strong-minded and i admire you and your arts/crafts!! 💕

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  6 лет назад +5

      Yes dealing with constant headaches is really tiring and hope you manage to find a way to improve yours! I definitely think that stress plays a role as well, so when your life circumstances change then headache patterns sometimes automatically go away. Since daily routines tend to shift ever 5 years or so (depending on new jobs, new homes, new relationship) there is always hope that your symptoms will improve on their own!

      Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your experiences and was wondering if you have been to an ENT?

    • @insomniachan9764
      @insomniachan9764 6 лет назад

      Raveka ENT was one of my doctors! They told me that everything was perfectly fine with my ears, nose and throat. I have done multiple tests to figure it out, but still nothing, sadly!

    • @insomniachan9764
      @insomniachan9764 6 лет назад

      Maqaroon Thank you so much! I really do think stress can be one of the factors into my dizziness. It was probably all the built-up stress i had in college since i was an art major myself 😅 Art can be very time consuming and stressful at times, especially given major projects! I still believe i can find an answer one day. This video of you talking made me believe and hope more ☺️

    • @maqaroon

      Thank so you much! This video looks really speedy when you watch it but each of the drawings took hours to sketch and ink (there were about 30 altogether). A normal DIY only takes 2-3 hours to film so I could've made 5 videos in the time I spent doing this one 😂

    Hi Maqaroon, you may not read this comment, but I just wanna say thank you.
    Your channel has made such a big impact to my life. If it weren't for your videos, I would have not started crafting, which is one of my biggest hobbies. I found your channel when I was around 9 or 10, and I was amazed by the crafts that you made and it gave me a big inspiration. Now I am 14, and seeing your channel grows makes me proud and I would remember back in the days when I found your channel :') Art and crafting is my passion, and you have helped me found it.
    Once again, thank you! 💗💕

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  6 лет назад +4

      Yeah, it's particularly frustrating when you're young since objectively, 99% of people with the same symptom have something totally harmless. Doctors hate patients googling things, but in my case I researched lots of stuff online and then insisted on having certain tests done 😂.

    Hey, I know how you feel when you talked about how it felt unfair that you got sick at such a young age. Because a month ago I got Diagnosed with cancer. And it was a very rare type called a clear cell sarcoma. Right now I'm recovering from my precious surgery. were they moved my ovary up into my stomach area. Because they didn't want it to spread more because it had already spread to my lymph nodes and my lymph nodes Werw right next to my ovary. Then I start proton therapy on the 20th. My cancer is resistant to chemo so I'm not getting chemo. My tumor is 4.5 inches and it's in my hip.

    Normally when I watch “draw my life” videos I don’t feel like the person is being honest. But with you I actually do feel you are.
    Especially the part where you were angry and the social media icons.
    I too am a graphic designer who speaks multiple languages, has a family that comes from another country. Love crafts and diy and found that crafts were my escape as I too am a massive nerd/geek.
    I also have a mental health disease (not terribly unlike your lupus’ health anxiety) that causes me to be introverted.
    I honestly feel like you’re a kindred spirit from another place. And I love watching your videos.

    Now that I have heard all of the symptoms of lupus and looked it up, it terrifies me. Everyday I have horrible headaches and sharp pains either in my head, stomach, or back. There is also rashes starting on my thighs and underarms. Any advice? I don’t know if it’s lupus and these things could mean nothing but it still scares me because the headaches are getting worse.

    • @sqine

Don’t be scared, it may be a big shock, but I know that you can make it. Talk about it to your doctor and stay positive. I wish you the best. I also have lupus and I’m happily living normally. Nothing that I have to do for it affects me but just know, you’ll be alright 💜

Right now I have panic attacks and depression I feel so anxious around people and scared that I might have a panic attack. I never want to go down a "killing path" because I know it is't worth it but I think about if I am even worth anything at all??

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  6 лет назад +15

      So sorry to hear that! I was very lucky because I went to an international school so almost everyone were from different countries and bullying based on racism wasn't an issue. However I know that happened to several chinese friends who went to local schools (several ended up transferring to my school to escape the situation). Just remember that even though life is really tough now, your school days are actually a very small part of your life. The moment you finish school, all the people who made your life miserable will be gone forever and you can start your "real life", You should definitely not allow those people to affect who you are. Look for things, people or communities that make you happy and remember that the world is so big, there is a welcoming place for everyone! You just need to find the right one for you 💕

    Hello Maqroon, I first want to say thank you for sharing your story. It turns out you and I have more things in common than I previously thought. I subscribed to you because you are a wonderful artist and crafter and have inspired me immensely over the years. Also when you started to talk about your headaches and how they seemed to come out of nowhere, I thought to myself " this is similar to me, I hope she doesn't have lupus". Unfortunately I was right and I'm sorry you are going through it, but I glad to hear you are in remission. I am still waiting to be diagnosed but officially I have chronic headaches and Migraines, fibromyalgia, arthritis in most joints and chronic fatigue. Unofficially I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and Migraines. Well the good part is you give me hope to one day live a somewhat normal pain free life.

You don't need to worry about creating anything big or original, as long as you have a hobby that you love to do then just stick to that. You'll automatically find way to build that into your studies or career later on!

    I too was born with the umbilical cord around my neck (plus the doctor who delivered me broke my right collarbone). As I continued to watch your video and you mentioned that you suddenly started getting headaches that eventually resulted in a diagnosis of lupus, I began to wonder if I might have it. My mother was diagnosed with lupus in 1988 and she worried that my brother or I might also have it. I've had blood drawn for various other reasons, but not to see if I had lupus. It might just be a coincidence that I too suffer from bad headaches (which has been going on for years), but after watching your video I think I'll make an appointment with my doctor. Not really knowing exactly what is causing these headaches is quite frustrating. Thank you for sharing your life with your fans :)
