So I was watching some old YouTube videos of one of my favorite creators Charlie McDonald. He was talking about how he was scared of creating because he felt like he couldn’t live up to the expectations of his viewers, and he was scared that his videos were getting worse and then people would not like him anymore. Then, Hank Green of vlogbrothers responded in saying that it is every humans greatest desire to want to feel love by the people that surround them. No matter what they do, they do something to feel like they have worth and value to others. The human desire to want to create and feel love is somewhat of a never ending battle because we always will fear what we create because we fear that people will not like the things that we do. The most important thing that we can create is ourself, and it is the most terrifying when we put so much effort into creating ourselves to feel appreciated and we dont feel loved. hank says that we can either ignore that overwhelming feeling of terror and create nothing or do nothing or keep our ideas to ourselves, but this is no way to live. we must share the ideas and people who feel the most fear are probably the ones that have the most creative insight to share. I can only imagine what it feels like to be charlie mcdonald seeing as he has millions of people that look up to him. he has all these admirers and even he feels like he isn’t loved. this makes me feel better about my fears of being judged and reassures me that this every human feels this way because it is human nature to want to be admired by others. Feeling scared doesnt go away, but eventually we cope by becoming used to the feelings and use our knowledge to reassure us that the love and admiration of creating things will outweigh the hatred that people can bring.
