My YouTube Channel

Few years ago,

as lockdown was starting,

I started a YouTube channel.

So many thrilling things,

happening in my life,

first baby, a new house,

a developing garden,

strings of art projects,

a stunning neighborhood,

so many opportunities,

to showcase.

To that no job,

so of course,

some earning from home,

would be nice.

So I thought:

why not make videos?

I created a few,

lots of work:

recording, editing,

but support was rare,

a content creator's nightmare.

No human can go long

without some reward,

for their labor.

I couldn’t continue,

it remained abandoned.

After a four-year gap,

a few months back,

I tried to breathe life,

into the channel yet again.

I created shorts,

shared links,

across the platforms,

I write and engage,

No, I didn’t go viral,

no massive following,

but subscriber count rose,

from 15 to 135,

all through ethical,

organic means.

Above all, it’s hope,

that people are beginning,

to see and accept.

I learned my lesson:

not to boycott an initiative,

even if,

responses are lukewarm.

Instead,

I should change strategy

until I see,

an upward trajectory.

I hope this inspires,

someone out there.
