Transcripts
hey guys so I originally had a different
video that I was going to have go up
today but I just feel like a lot is
happening and it's super overwhelming I
don't I don't know like I'm only one
person over here and it's just like so
much is being said and I know legal
terms love to be thrown around like
slander defamation nine times out of 10
people don't really know what they're
talking about but I feel like in the
situations that have been happening
recently there is a lot of slander there
is a lot of defamation like there's a
difference between like gossiping versus
like downright straight up defamation
lies completely making up stories that
aren't true at all I told myself I would
never talk about this to protect
myself because it is scary because
there's a lot that goes in it but like
if I can somehow prove that I'm not
lying that I'm going to do that I
shouldn't have to I shouldn't have to
stand here and do this like I honestly
feel pathetic I feel triggered I feel
just like YouTube is ruining my life
like truly ruining my life and I have
gone through a lot with YouTube I have
gone through a [Β __Β ] lot I have had
some serious High highs and I've had
some serious low lows but something
about everything that's been happening
it has hit different it has affected me
differently than anything else ever has
and seeing what a large chunk of
whatever this community is doing seeing
what you guys are doing has made me just
not want to do YouTube anymore and that
scares me because that means I'm about
to drastically change my life if I
choose to take a step back I really
don't want to stand here and cry and be
whiny I don't want to do any of that
because I do take partial credit into
all of this years ago I became a [Β __Β ]
troll a huge troll I almost asked for
the negativity especially like
2019
2018 2017 I almost asked for it any
attention was good attention for me even
if it was bad even if it made me feel
like [Β __Β ] but as someone who's going to
be 34 years
old I regret
that I regret that side of me but we do
[Β __Β ] in our 20s that we regret
unfortunately it's like this is just
staying with me as much as I grow up as
much as I try to change whether that
just be in my personal life or on
YouTube you guys won't change with me
you guys aren't changing with me and I'm
just I'm just like stuck in this
weird girl world like Amber verse
negative just like horrible space and I
want to break up with it I don't want to
be a part of it anymore and I just don't
know what to do stepping away from any
sort of job is hard and it takes time
and thought and you need to figure out
like okay so if I step away what are my
next steps I have to figure that out and
I need to do it in private but that's
not what this is about I'm scared I'm
scared to talk about this I am so many
of you thought Valentine was fake that
was the
biggest thing Valentine isn't real
Valentine isn't real and I accepted it
for what it was I was like they don't
want to believe me that's fine I'm
actively having so much [Β __Β ] anxiety
for what I'm about to say like
Valentine's name is Erica and Erica had
a wife I'm about to reveal screenshots
that I could find because this is the
only way that I'm going to prove it here
is me not making time for my friends
because I am literally always always
giving every single part of me to Erica
you guys know I struggle with BPD so one
of those things is when I get into a
relationship my partner literally
consumes me whether they try to or not
do you guys remember that night when my
mom stayed the night with me and we
colored like children and people were
like oh my God they're such children
yeah that was when I was breaking up
with Erica here's my friend Alexis just
being Alexis and to top it all off
here's a screenshot of me telling Alexis
that Erica's wife called me while I was
at a birthday party remember that
birthday party I went to when I was
outside it was super hot it was at a
park it was that day you guys went from
believing Valentine was fake to them
believing Valentine was my most recent
ex all for entertainment while actively
ruining people's lives Valentine was
real I have never lied so many times
people be like why don't you ever talk
about her like why don't you ever show
her why don't we ever hear because of
this amberland why are your videos so
boring like why aren't people in your
videos because of this amberland why
don't you show up at your job
more why don't you put more effort into
your videos because of this why do you
like have an attitude towards reaction
channels and to your audience because of
this still through it all I have been
able to manage a positive outlook on
life whether you guys see that or not I
try my hardest in my real life to be
happy bubbly and positive
but I feel like I'm losing sight of that
person like the person that I tried it's
so hard to be especially once I moved to
Oklahoma and moved in by myself like I
felt myself changing and being better
and improving in multiple different ways
and now I just feel myself backtracking
and that scares me and I don't want to
be in that position it's just like
everyone in this situation is [Β __Β ]
hurting and feeling the gravity of it
while hundreds of people get to just sit
back and watch it as if it's
entertainment these are real lives being
messed with real lives and I can't sit
back and let it happen and watch it
happen I can't support it I can't
condone it never would and I know a lot
of you don't either like I'm getting so
many messages on Instagram every single
day of people that are literal even
haters that are like this isn't right
like what you're going through is not
okay something I have very strongly
learned and I have known from the
beginning reaction channels don't care
about me neither do the haters all they
care about how many views I can get how
much money they can make and the only
way they can do that is by disliking
every single thing that I do nitpicking
every single thing that I do creating
drama and fake stories around every
single part of my life and doing it
consistently and that consistently has
been wearing at me for years and years
and years and this is finally the straw
that broke the camel's back and I'm
personally hurt and I'm lost and I'm
confused and I don't know what to do
from here on out I struggle with BPD so
like everything that I'm feeling is
normal and I know that in my rational
side but like I'm feeling it at a
magnitude that like normal people don't
feel I don't even know what I'm saying
at this point I just know that whatever
I say like it just feels like there's a
large amount of people that are just
deaf to my words but if I can
prove that Valentine isn't someone that
you guys think it is there's your proof
