hello you guys welcome back to another video i feel like i'm a stranger on this channel again

so we're gonna be doing a life update

when was the last time we did one life has been lifing you know

but um we're in may especially may i think we're gonna release this video in may

so next month to get personal is the anniversary for my

dad being dead um i'm not gonna do anything crazy

but i'm probably gonna disappear for a bit just for like a couple days

and then come back but i'm still gonna be active on the channel

so that's that

and then i've gone through this like weird transition in life

where i don't know what i want to do with life i feel like i've accomplished

so much i have like so many trophies i don't have female performer there

but i tried one year and i failed

so i kind of just internally gave up

so i think that's why i don't even want to try anymore even

if i didn't win or i wasn't even nominated

so i think um as far as like

that that's why i don't really want to shoot as much

because it's like i don't even get acknowledged anyway

so what's the point that's just how i feel

but i feel like i'm going to the going through this

like weird phase in life where i'm like kind of over certain things in my career my life

or everything in general

so that's why i feel like i took a long break

from youtube i go through this phase sometimes where i get

over i overwork myself i sometimes like i'm gonna quit this i'm gonna quit

that and it's just not quitting it's just more taking a break

so then i remember what it is or why i was doing it

and i didn't get nominated for any like social media awards this year.

And I was just like, oh, you're right.

Like I didn't do anything.

You know, I can't win every year.

I've been winning since 2022.

It's 2026.

So, like, we got to give it to somebody at least for a year.

But I'm coming back.

I'm taking a break from certain things.

Not retiring or anything.

I'm just figuring out what it is I want to do.

Because I'm hitting this roadblock, at least in certain things.

And that's why I want to try new things.

I started directing.

I directed my first scene.

And I fell in love with it.

I fell in love with creating magic, creating a visual story of what is happening between two people having intercourse.

It was really cool because I'm usually like the performer.

And when I perform, it's obviously for you guys.

But when I'm the director and when I'm recording someone else, it's like I'm literally remembering what it's like to be a performer and what things that I wish I could capture.

But the director doesn't.

So that's what I've been doing.

And I fell in love with it.

I can't say too much yet or like the company or who I've shot with so far.

But I have this really huge movie that I'm filming this month at the end of the month.

And I'm so excited because I came up with the concept.

But they gave me the premise of like the scene of what it was supposed to be.

So I came up with the storyline where I'm approving styling and the script.

And basically, I'm going to be directing it.

So that makes me happy right now.

So that's kind of like where I'm going.

More behind the camera than in front of it not saying that I'm not going to be in front of it.

I still have my only I'm going to be still doing all my content on there.

But I think I really love being behind the camera more.

So that's kind of like where I'm feeling.

There's going to be a point though, where I'm going to get tired of being behind the camera, I'm going to want to be the star of it

so it's not forever i'm coming up with some like really

cool ideas as far as like what i want to do with my brand

so i'm gonna be doing more youtube more streams

so definitely make sure you're subscribed so you guys can see all that because

if you're not subscribed you're going to see me on your

for you page i'm gonna be on it whether you block me

or not i'm gonna be on someone else's stuff

so you can't avoid me

so you might as well just enjoy this content be sucked into i'm gonna do more music stuff

so you guys know huge huge underground rap fan that's my

but i also love music in general i'm trying to figure out

if i should do like more interviews

or podcasts i want to be in the music scene as far as like uh just interviewing artists

and getting to know them personally because i've done it with corn stars

but i want to do with artists

because i feel like we see like a facade

or like uh like what they want to give us

but really they're really cool people like i'm friends with a few rappers and producers

and they're really really funny they're really nice i kind of want to spot give the spotlight to them

and show people different sides

so i'm also gonna be coming up with some like really cool clothes

but i can't say too much

because i'm it's just like it's like a little seed doing something cool with

that as i get older i kind of like grew up in front of you guys i started the industry

when i was like 21 22

and it's been like almost eight years now i'm gonna be eight years in the industry in september

so i feel like you know this is longevity but also

if you've created a household name with yourself

or you created a brand you want to do more than just one thing just know

that this is not the end of it this is to

be only the beginning of a new chapter for me

and i'm very excited to kind of just explore it with you guys

and you guys also see this journey with me

and kind of grow with me

because i know a lot of people have also grown with me

100

so we're like growing together i think it's time for me

101

to just not really care about where life is going

102

and i've been taking every day by every day

103

and it's kind of good and bad because i was looking at the date

104

and like my dates for this next coming month

105

and i was like wait it's next week already the end of the month

106

so i'm just like that's why you kind of just have to live in the moment

107

and not be too stuck on the future or the past

108

because then you will get lost

109

and i think that's where a lot of people tend to

110

get lost in it's like the future in the past just

111

live in the present kind of figure out what you're gonna do tomorrow

112

but don't think like too crazy or too far ahead

113

because you will stress yourself out and that's that was my issue

114

and that's why i'm where i'm at right now like conflicted

115

and lost yeah i just wanted to kind of give you

116

guys a life update i feel like i do this pretty frequently with you guys

117

and i'm very honest and i think that's why we all have this like connection and bond

118

because we relate to each other we're gonna wrap this video

119

up super quick i just wanted to give you guys an update on my life make sure you subscribe

120

because i have a bunch of bunch of good content coming

121

so let me know in the comments below what kind of videos you want to see on the channel

122

because i am listening and i'm learning

123

so i want to be able to entertain you guys

124

but i have videos with fabio chicos toxicos a few of my co-stars fan videos again

125

126

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
