    I really want to start vlogging and uploading. Not for views or money. Rather for the next generation to see and for my grandkids or anyone really who searches my name. It’s so scary documenting your life but it’s a way to grow and have no regrets when you get older. You’ll have memories you can easily search and have all in one place rather than looking through old phones, etc. Having them being lost documents in the future

    I just started my RUclips channel to document my life-sharing travel and concert vlogs. Every time I hit the record button, edit the videos, and watch them on RUclips, I feel even more grateful and appreciative of my life. I get so excited to experience new things and watch them over and over again, lol.
    I'm not yet at the point of having a community with the same interests, but I'm really excited for that part as well! :))

    such a coincidence that this video popped up on my front page. i was just talking with my therapist today how lost i was and my interest in pursuing vlogging, just as a new way to document my memories. i'm a wedding photographer and starting taking photos for fun and it turned into my full time career 3 years ago. I'm so used to being behind the camera but also want to remember more of the person who created so many memories for others. thank you for inspiring me and others to start!

    This was the inspiration I needed to see today. I have been contemplating getting back into vlogging and creating videos for the past 6 months since my partner I was creating everything with and I broke up. Truly miss the creative aspect in my daily life, the community we built, and the appreciative comments when people got something out of the videos.
    Thank you.

    Hey man, I am totally with you on this. The thing i regretted the most was not documenting or even taking photos of anything because back then I told myself that I should be enjoying the moments instead of taking photos/videos but now I have nothing to look back for, it breaks my heart but yeah I am starting to document and vlog my life but it is definitely not easy since I have been growing up not doing it. I am 31yo now best of luck to you!

    Documenting your journey around something you’re passionate about can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Vlogs are a powerful way to share the story you want to tell and to connect with others who share your interests. Putting yourself out there can feel challenging, but it’s also one of the most courageous steps you can take. Embrace it, you never know who you’ll inspire along the way!
