Original Youtube Description:

#1. I'm here to distrupt. I'm here to have you see things from a different perspective. I'm not here to be liked, I'm here to make an impact. When I decided to go on this journey, I decided to not be in the in crowd or be the one that bends over backwards in the clique.

2. Thank you Clinton! Heres the quote.

I’ve learned to let go of caring more about others guilt or protecting them and their feelings, than being proud of my ability to have gone through it and be ok.

I care less about people's feelings, and more about my ability to get through things. If my videos have you feeling hurt, I suggest you don't stick around. If it resonates, I'm happy to have you as apart of my tribe. I'm to the point where I can't care. People wanted me to consider their feelings without considering mine. And guess what? Me getting millions of views let me know I'm headed in the right direction. Now I'm aware I shouldn't say everything on my mind. If I'm wrong about something, I'm the first to admit it. But when standing up for what I believe in? I don't back down.

#3 People many times have mistaken my kindness for weakness, like she's an easy MF, because she's nice. When I show my other side, it's like whoa, where did that come from? I catch them off guard and it surprises people.

Quote by Steve: He has a private profile, my bad.

#4 Do not expect anyone to support you on this journey. You might have a friend here or there. If you have day oners, don't take them for granted. When I started gaining traction, quiet a few folks went silent. Sometimes, I reconnected with some people because life happens. Like I said in my last video. I go silent during surgery + hospital seasons. I'm not feeling that great. I let the people in my life know this. But what I also say in several of my videos is take note of those that go silent during your seasons of success. That's jealousy. Since I'm making different life choices, taking the road less traveled, you have to expect people to attack and be critical. It happens to me all the time, I'm used to it. It's a resilience I've built up since childhood. For everytime someone attacks, I will turn it into a success with ease. My haters are like shit, does anything get under her skin? Nope. I'm prepared for it and used to attacks. Fall 10 times, bounce back 100. Show no mercy. Get and maintain thick skin, attacks, gossips, and lawsuits shouldn't be surprising. Get a good lawyer.

#4a. I am human, and in the next video I do discuss a time when I was lied on at a job, and it did piss me off, but I did handle it.

#5. Focus on your strengths, not weaknesses.
In school, they told us to strengthen our weaknesses. Nahhh. I focus on my strengths and capitalize on my weaknesses by getting folks who are strong in my weak areas.

#6. I stay in my lanes, and mind my own business. This also comes with being self-aware.
I will not do things I'm not good at just to get money. Some folks will try to do things to get money even if they don't know what they are going, and this is not me. Do your research and make sure the people you go do are reliable sources. If I don't know wtf I'm doing in an area? I leave it alone. I've found the areas I thrive in. Since my breakthroughs I've been called all kinds of names. I am not a saint lmfao! I just believed in myself when others didn't. I saw the bigger picture when others didn't. This doesn't make me any more "resilient" than anyone else.

#7. Either you are gonna focus on being liked or finding your purpose.

#8 I don't care about likes, views or going viral. Every video I post will not go viral or get tons of views. I do care about putting a spotlight on causes that mean a lot to me.
