way we're just going to get ready today
you think after for 5 years I'd be able

lazy some can say I was broke I say that
I

internet thinks I'm broke and you guys
think that I'm coming back just for the
money and maybe that's true because I
haven't paid my taxes why does everyone
think I'm broke like I have a really
nice house I have only a few thousand in
debt and I haven't paid my
taxes the whole allegation of me coming
back to YouTube and like posting just
for money I don't want you guys to think
that because no Brands will sponsor me
so I'm not getting any
money anyways before we start with the
shenanigans and the craziness I have to
say I miss you guys so much being able
to do this is really crazy and I've
taken that for granted for a lot of
years this is my apology guys get ready

old I don't know I'll fully have like
people my age coming up like my age
coming up to me saying You Raised Me you
raised me as a kid you got me through
2016 I get that so much guys I wasn't on
YouTube in 2016 this is what I was doing
in
2016 like that's just y'all are crazy

disgusting I don't like feeling old I'm
20 years old I'm not even 21 I can't
even buy a
drink with my real
ID wouldn't it be funny if like you got
a fake ID and like face tuned like the
photo for your like ID picture that'd be
funny if someone did
that um anyways guys I what was I saying
oh you guys think I'm old and
fat I decided to come back today because
I'm
bored and because I feel like it and
because I miss y'all he's been screaming
at me to film every day in my
ears also guys I'm schizophrenic I have
been off of YouTube for for 2 years and
what that means is that I've gone
through so much in my life I'm going to
tell you guys some stories today some
stories from my pre-youtube days things
that you guys never knew about me from
back in the day and also some reasons
why I've been gone and I also have a lot
of things to say guys I almost started a
podcast I almost became a
podcaster that's disgusting why did I
almost do that I still might do it cuz I
have so much I have two years to catch
you guys up on plus more but yeah I have
a lot of reasons a lot of things to talk
about so should we just get started
Maybe
I don't
know okay so after 3 years off YouTube I
keep making things up it hasn't even
been 3 years it's been like a
year also if you've seen any of my Tik
toks in the past 3 years just pretend I
didn't make them that wasn't me that was
a clone by originally when I thought of
coming back to YouTube I was stuck on
this for a really long time cuz I was
like I need to do something really big
lives need to change if I'm coming back
to YouTube I have to do something crazy
but then I realized like I'm not like
Dan and Phil like I don't think anyone's
going to be that excited I think this
video might get I'm not kidding seven
views and if that happens I don't even
care I'm just happy to be with the go
the guys the go the guys of you who
y'all the people who still care about me
if you're watching this great and if
you're not watching this die okay I have
so much to say I'm practically throwing
up so let's get started I'm going to do
my eyebrows off camera
oh what I was saying
[Music]
earlier I'm ugly who remembers that I'm
ugly did you guys forget I wish I
could okay eyebrows are done they're
uneven you think that for my first video
back I would try hard I I lost my
eyebrow pencil I lost it and you can't
blame me don't guys who loves Taylor
Swift okay okay guys as I was doing my
eyebrows I was watching my old YouTube
videos and turns out that I'm really
annoying and turns out that I'm the
worst and it's funny cuz I'm just
realizing this right now I used to watch
my old YouTube videos and think like h i
was the clean I guess I just woke up
being conscious today now I'm pissed off
because I'm like okay so have I always
looked like a fool to you guys have I
always been like the worst have I always
been an embarrassment to society let me
know
because I used to be such a Pik me I was
a pikm me I'm saying it now and you know
what there's nothing wrong with being a
pikmy except that no one's going to like
you so if you guys think I was
disgusting a few years ago just let me
know and if you think I was perfect
check yourself in to like I don't know
the clinic or something guys do you want
to know a fun facts about me YouTube
YouTube YouTube if you're watching this
just skip past a minute we're adults now
this is the thing about coming back to
YouTube that I'm really excited for is
we are adults if you're 13 don't listen
to what I'm about to say would you guys
believe me if I told you that I used to
be a stoner and I used to
smoke before I started
YouTube not one of you was like well
maybe y'all were I don't know I don't
know about my vibe I just watched my old
YouTube videos and as I said I I was the
worst
so I guess it kind of makes sense that I
was a stoner but just know that this is
behind me this is behind me my behind
is me when you guys were watching me
like I was never obviously never doing
that I had quit by that point really
because when I started getting
responsibility of being a big YouTuber
also went my bad habits it's funny cuz I
don't think anyone would have ever
guessed that about me that's just funny
Who's
laughing it's a bad habit I started in
high school so in that era of like my
very early videos that's what I filled
my time with YouTube video making and
being a crack addict and my advice to
you guys out there as an old person guys
just don't do that especially if you're
under 18 Susan please don't demonetize
me I haven't paid my taxes oh my God
wait I just remembered I have a PR
package to open up with you guys not
only am I broke and irrelevant these
days Brands don't even like it like I
tried to get PR from like Too Faced and
they were being Too Faced because they
didn't send me I'm just kidding I
don't actually think I even tried so is
it my fault let's do a PR package on
unboxing PR package unboxing thank you
to colourpop everyone go byy colourpop
everyone spend money okay so this is the
I'm tote palette no it's that's
tote palette uh this is really cool
packaging get into this who else forgot
about him he's over but this is cool
tone Brown palette this is stunning and
colourpop is cheap easy reliable fun
good colourpop sponsor me please I don't
know if I'm supposed to to say this but
at this point I don't care but I was
going to do a collab with colourpop that
was my dream for years I should have
done it I was offered to do him with
another brand as well really big Sephora
brand I actually turned it down cuz they
were wanting to pay me like $3 which
looking back I should have done it
anyway cuz it's like even if I wasn't
getting paid it doesn't matter cuz that
would have been so sick to have like an
Antonio Garza like collab in Sephora
that would have been insane but I'm dumb
I regret everything but
anyways why am I not do my makeup guys
every time that I remember that I used
to post videos on YouTube it's really
crazy to me because I kind of don't
remember it like I do but like that
version of me is so different from who I
am today and I feel like I've said that
the past like three videos I've made it
really is true and it's crazy how much
you change if you guys think back to how
you were back in like 2020 2019 it's a
big shift I really hope that people
still care and not care about me but
just care about like
each
other girl what the is you talking
about I think something really big was
lost when a lot of people left the
internet I mean it's crazy thinking back
to like when I was posting a lot who
else was posting at the time I mean we
had like
[Music]

Star Jenna Marbles guys I miss Jenna
Marbles I met her once very briefly and
I cried after guys I saw du leipa last
night no offense to Doula peep the leapa
nators the DU leipa nators the duip

whole time you didn't but like what if
you did that'd be really
awful oh wait I think I fixed it perfect
guys I do have a boyfriend let's finally
just clear the big fat elephant in the
room I never actually thought that I
would ever get to a point where I would
be accepted by someone it didn't seem
like that was ever going to be a
possibility for me just because of who I
am and I truly believed that but then I
realize that I'm the queen I actually
think I got a lot of confidence after
being in my relationship I realized
my value no one's perfect and I don't
think I'm perfect and I still managed to
find you know someone who wants to be
with me I guess I had this expectation
for getting a like my first boyfriend of
like oh when I get a boyfriend life's
going to be perfect and it's definitely
not but that's fine and I've learned
like that's cool like I just now have a
person who like gets me and we have fun
and we're like cool and like thank you
to cash app for not sponsoring this
video but for bringing me to the Eros
