So, today's question by @motivationMY is:
"When was the last time you felt overwhelmed?"
In my opinion, there are at least 2 kinds of being overwhelmed. Either you're overwhelmed in a good way (happy and joyous about something), or the bad way (overstressed, and/or overworked).
I can give both, because I went through both quite recently. I'll save the best for last so I'll give the BAD overwhelming thing first ok? Please bear with me!
Approximately a few months ago, I was feeling very insecure about myself. It felt very overwhelming as I wanted to immediately lose weight, I wanted to immediately be smarter, be prettier, be everything. I got so much stress from myself that I was losing my patience and temper on my partner, as well as myself. I would get so jealous of almost every girl that walks past me. It was too much too handle and it was quite a dark period in my life. Only difference is, I managed to get out of that time quite quickly, thanks to some people in my life who supported me throughout those times. I really don't ever want to go through it again. In the words of Christina Aguilera, "You are beautiful, no matter what they say". So that is my "dark" overwhelming story.
Approximately a week ago, I posted my FIRST ever haul video, and it was about my shopping at the 100 Yen Shop in Taman Connaught. It was sort of like a trial run, but then, I got the BEST comment ever. Syafique, the creator of motivationMY, tweeted me a reply and said, "Cool haul video. It motivates me to VLOG more :)". I can't believe someone, who's more famous and a big name in the Malaysia Internet Circle, actually was motivated by my video. I was very excited and overwhelmed by the response. Many people actually watched my video and I know that there are things which I will need to work on, but to see that many positive responses? I was overwhelmed with joy. I know that in the future, I will be getting haters, but for now, thank you for all the LOVE <3 Charmaine (my cousin) watched the video on my FB and so did my friend, Michelle Cheah. My Darling Siew Mei, will be appearing in my next few videos, and I will try to feature a special guest every once in a while. Hopefully that works out.
It's really tiring to edit the videos, but I just enjoy looking at it so much and to work on a different style of recording myself all the time, although is not easy, but is really fun! Thank you guys for the support once again. I will not be posting the videos up on YouTube yet, as I believe that I'm not ready, but for now, the videos will be on my blog and my Facebook. My upcoming videos are:
- Sephora Haul - Part 1 feat. Yap Siew Mei;
- Sephora Haul - Part 2 feat. Yap Siew Mei;
- SURPRISE video!!!
Love, Sheryl1986 <3

ReplyDeleteOverwhelmed...but please, I'm not a big name in the Internet Circle :D
Can't wait for your next videos. Do include some guys stuff too....:)
Hey!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the support! :) Will post up the videos soon!
And yes, you are a big name! Or at least, I think so :)
Currently planning on a male Haul video, with a male guest! But that will have to wait as my guest will be in the USA for the next 3 weeks :P
Excited to work on other kinds of videos too (like some dance choreos!) :)
