People have told me I have saved their life.
-
I became a ASMR artist on YouTube.
-
Because I deal with my own pain each day.
-
ASMR has truly helped me focus on living instead of dying.
-
Close your eyes.
-
An ASMR artist is someone who focus mainly on visual triggers and sounds to bring you some type of relaxation.
-
Some of the misconceptions that people have with ASMR is thinking that it's creepy, it's cringey, it's weird,
-
And I believe the reason why some people believe that ASMR is so weird is because I'm constantly whispering.
-
I'm going to take a sip of my hot coffee for a second.
-
But when ASMR artists' whisper, it's to bring you to that safe place.
-
It's to make you feel calm.
-
Tell yourself, " You're going to be okay."
-
I find my sounds in any and everything that I do.
-
If I'm opening up a pack of gum, if I'm brushing my hair, people love crunch sounds like the pickle video.
-
I'll snack.
-
I don't know what happens.
-
Why does eating a pickle causes a person's brain to shut down, but it will.
-
I have a degenerative bone disease.
-
I can't stop it, there's no cure.
-
Before I discovered ASMR, I could not move.
-
I didn't have the strength to make myself stand up.
-
So, when I discovered ASMR, I felt extremely relaxed.
-
I feel like I was actually smiling just laying there.
-
I felt really, really good mentally.
-
More so than being on medication.
-
And I said "Okay, I'm going to create a channel, and I'm going to create ASMR videos because there's a lot of people who are dealing with stress, insomnia, anxiety; who just need some comfort to get them through the night."
-
I receive email from people who are bedridden and let me know how much I have helped them.
-
I always told my children one person could change the world.
-
And to actually be a part of maybe some type of change in some type of way, is amazing.
