r i g h t h e r e [AVATAR]
If you read this, please; no judging. I just had a lot of stuff bottled up that I really needed to let out. :) There's a TL;DR cut that you can skip to if you just wanna see the dedications and credit. :D And it would be lovely if you could watch it in HD, pretty pwease? :3
I dunno if it showed or anything, but the past few months haven't been so great for me, editing-wise. Two things happened that really, REALLY got to me.
1.) I didn't get into a studio I've been DYING to get into since forever ago.
2.) I wasn't accepted into a couple MEPs by some editors I really look up to.
Those were just HUGE-ASS slaps in the face for me. Forealz. I started doubting my editing, started doubting if I even deserved all my subs, etc., It was really bad. I actually thought about quitting youtube altogether.
But then I got some comments on my videos and my channel that - quite honestly - made me cry. These comments made me realize that there ARE some people out there who genuinely love my videos, and actually take the time to tell me so. I reread these comments, and I felt so great afterwards, and I realized that I was just blowing up the drama, big-time. Then I saw a video set to this song, and I was just inspired by it so much. The people whom I dedicate this video to gave me so much at that unstable point in my time. I figured this is the least I could give back.
/ goojiecat101 - Celina, thank you so much for the message you left on my channel. :') It was amazing, and it made me so happy. I never got to properly thank you for it because I was too overwhelmed and busy at the moment, so I hope this makes up for it. You have no idea how many times I read and reread it. It was lovely, and I'm so grateful you took the time to write it.
/ 1919warcraft - I'm sorry I didn't set aside time to properly get to know you (or both of you...? :)) ) but thank you so much for the comment you left! Again, I didn't have the time to tell you how grateful I was for it, but you posted it at the right time. I had just been rejected from a MEP I wanted to get in, so I was really low. Reading your comment picked me up. A big thank you to you, too. :D
/ eriickym - Erick, you have no idea how happy I am whenever we have little exchanges in the comments or in our inbox. I remember how you turned to me for advice about masking about several years ago, and it's just AMAZING to see how much you've improved and how awesome you are at editing. I think you've surpassed me! :)) Despite my disappearance from youtube, I'm glad we were able to pick up right where we left off. You're amazing, and I'm so grateful that you were here for me.
/ islaythejabberwokky - Your comments on my videos have been just the biggest wake-up call for me. I love how you're so honest, and you give it to me straight, and whenever I'm hitting myself, you step right up and order me to stop hitting myself. :)) Did that make sense? Nonetheless, you're wonderful and lovely, and reading the comments you leave on my videos has never failed to make me happy. I never get to properly thank you in the comments, so I hope this makes up for it. :)
/ tehblackhole - You've been my inspiration from the very start. You're the reason I joined youtube in the first place. Every video you came out with was a treat for me. You have no idea how happy you made me when you subbed me back and started commenting on my videos. I truly felt so happy and giddy every time you commented or messaged me. For all the years you've made me happy, and all the videos you've uploaded that inspired me, thank you so much!
--- TL;DR --
I wanted to mash up Korra and Aang again, because I wanted to point out how important the people around them were in their journeys as The Avatar. The concept's pretty simple; they were never alone. :)
