About this video
hi everyone 💌
i felt it would have more meaning to publish this video on my last day at amazon. it's also my way of just ripping the bandaid off...so surprise. to some of you, this may be a bit surprising but to others maybe you saw it coming but none the less, it is truly a bitter sweet moment for me.
trust me when i say this was a very difficult decision to make but the past few months were bad behind the scenes even though it may not have seemed like it on my vlogs. i try to keep my channel a positive cozy space on the internet but at the same time be transparent about my personal & professional life so i felt like i was "hiding" some of my true feelings on here. i think since i've been mentally ready to quit for a few months, it's a bit easier to explain my decision so here it is.
after recording this, i had 40 minutes of talking footage but i condensed this video to 12 minutes so it's easier to follow my thoughts & make it digestible in general. there's so much more i can say about my decision to walk away but we'll save that for future videos.
as always, i really appreciate everyone's support.
