Learning About What I Want to Create - S. J. Pajonas

I need to be honest with you all. Remember those big YouTube plans I announced for 2025? Well, I'm hitting pause. And yes, it feels like I'm letting you down. That familiar voice in my head keeps whispering, "People won't trust you if you can't follow through."
