A Return To Vlogs | A Lonely-Ish Thanksgiving

Here it is! A bit late, but who’s really counting? This vlog was a huge reminder of how much work videos can be. I filmed and edited this for about a week and I’m still not entirely happy with it. But, it’s never going to be perfect, so on to the next one.

This Thanksgiving, I stayed in Syracuse instead of going home to see my family. This isn’t the first time I’ve spent a huge family holiday alone, but nevertheless, it was still a bit lonely. I tried to distract myself with random chores and watching tons of YouTube. It was a time of loneliness, inspiration, and simply enjoying my own company.

I think the hardest thing about this was trying to feel comfortable talking to the camera. The second hardest was listening to myself talk and ramble and editing it all down so it didn’t sound like garbled gibberish. I think I accomplished that to an extent.

Give it a watch, subscribe to my channel, and leave a comment to let me know what you think! And of course, look forward to more of these.
