When I see who has subscribed to me on YouTube and go to their page and see who else they are subscribed to, it makes me really happy. This is mainly due to the fact that the other people they are subscribed to have thousands of subscribers and I only started my channel about three months ago. They are subscribed to the VlogBrothers, Charlieissocoollike, catrific, Jenna Marbles, DailyGrace, the British Gang, Tyler Oakley, and so many more. It makes me happy that they place me in the same category as the people that I look up to and inspire me to become a better youtuber. I started my channel, simply because I had something to say, I was bored, and I love to make movies. I am so grateful for everyone who has subscribed to me, watched my videos, hit the like button, or left a comment. Everyday it makes me smile to see the numbers go up, and read the lovely comments that are left. I am so thankful for each and every person that has reblogged a video, shared a video, or anything like that. So, thank you. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. There are some exciting this coming up in the future with my youtube channel and life. I cannot wait to share that all with you. :) I love you all so much! If you haven’t been told yet, you are beautiful and you are loved :) xoxo Chrissy

How to: Live life to the Fullest
A week ago, I got a comment on one of my videos that said "Could you do a video on how to live to the fullest." It made me think about what we need to do to live life to the fullest. There are so many different ways to live a full life, and it is different for every single person. After contemplating, I realized there are somethings that we can all do to live life to the fullest.
The first is that we try to live everyday like it is our last. This one was probably the most cliche one that I could think of, but I still think that it is important. We never know when we are going to die, so we need to be satisfied and ask ourselves "If I died today, would I be happy with the life I have lived?" If the answer is yes, then that is fantastic, and you should keep living life like you are. If the answer is no, then I think a change should be made so that we can be happy if we died tomorrow. This is going to be different for every single person. Some people just want to be surrounded with friends and family, others may want to be skydiving, there is no way to know how every person would want if they were going to die tomorrow.
If there are many things that you want to do before you die, then the perfect thing to make is a bucket list. This way, you are checking off one thing at a time that you want to do before you die. If you keep the bucket list somewhere you can always see it, then you will constantly be participating in life, and that will allow you to live a fuller life. The bucket list should be a whole bunch of things that you have never done in your life that you want to do. They are things that give you an adrenaline rush, make you happy, make you laugh, and allow you to have a good time. This would be a good time to put things on your list that allow you to branch out and do things you may not normally do. Every time you experience something new and check it off your bucket list, act like a 5 year old, experiencing everything for the first time. It is fun to act like a little kid and forget you are an adult for a little bit.
I think it is very important to find something that you are passionate about, and then go out and do what ever that may be. There will be road bumps. People will tell you no. They will tell you "You can't do that because_________." But, never give up. If you want it, keep working at it until you get it. Don't give up, or give in to what they are saying. You can be and do whatever you want. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something.
Before we can move on I think we have to forgive those who have done us wrong. It allows the weight to be lifted off our shoulders and be happier people. We aren't hanging on to the past, but we are moving on to better and brighter things.
We also need to find the good in every situation. It is easy to find the bad in situations because more often than not, it is the easier thing to see. If we look a little closer, we can see the good and make good out of the situation. This allows up to get the most out of the situation and therefore get more out of life.
Third, we need to love one another. There are many people in this world that feel unloved when really they are surrounded by many people that love and care for them. We need to show one another love because no one deserves to feel unloved.
Finally, we must not dwell on the past or live in the dreams of the future. It is easy to get caught in the past because it is familiar, but it has already happened and there is nothing we can change about it now. We live in the future because it seems better than our present and it is where we want to be. Instead, we should be creating goals so we can reach them in the future. We can become that person that we are dreaming of by working for it in the present.
So, those are some things that I think will help allow you to live a fuller life.

How important are names?
I was scrolling through tumblr one day and saw a post about how there is one person that ruined a certain name for us, and because of that person, we can never name our children, or have a friend by that name, due to the fact that we think they are going to end up like that one person we met in our life. But our name shouldn't define us. We should define our name.
When we meet someone, the first thing we find out is their name, and already in our mind we are thinking about someone else who has that exact same name and automatically are comparing the two. We have this preconceived idea of what they should act like, when we should approach them as if we had never met someone with their name before. Our name shouldn't define who we are. WE should define who we are.
Often there are even times when we look at someone after finding out their name and say "Oh, you dont look like a ____ you look like a _____." Why do we have to "look" like a certain name? Is it because we met someone else that they kinda sorta looked like so we think they should have the same name? That just seems weird to me. We shouldn't judge people by what their name is, we shouldn't judge people at all, but instead we should learn who they are by the way they treat others, and how they act when they are put in different situations.
I feel that in this world, we all want to know what is going to happen before it happens, so right before we meet someone new, we find out their name so we can think of another person we know by that name, and in turn, create unrealistic expectations about that person.
No one person should "ruin" a name for us. I truly believe that everyone in this world is good, just some choose to do bad things. Their name doesn't choose to do bad things they do.
Names seem to be so important these days. They took three days to name the royal baby. People don't want their children to be doomed with a bad name from the time that they are born, their actions are going to determine what they do with their life, not their name.
So the next time that you judge someone based off their name, pretend that you have never met anyone with that name before so that you can see the person for who they really are and not what their name is. When you are naming your children in the future or now, name them whatever you want, because later in life they will make their own name for themselves through their actions.
So create you! Do Not let your surroundings define or create you. You create you!
