Whatcha Say: Jackie Wyers on Creativity and Escapism
I’ve always loved pop culture and it’s been my healthy escape, I think. When I felt very low, and that no one liked me, I could invest into friendships I didn’t have (through tv shows) and movies and just get excited about not being me for a while. That’s kind of where my (youtube) channel has stemmed from; is trying to bring that magic, recreate that magic, that I would feel when I would be outside of myself.
That’s not to say I don’t like me now, I do love me now. I’m at a place where I’ve accepted myself and I’m really, really working towards fighting those social habits that hold me back. And, if you’re feeling that way, because of insecurities or your past, I hope we can push through it together and find a way to find that confidence in ourselves.
