I'M DONE - Quitting My YouTube Channel After 14 Years?

I have felt for a while that I am 'seeking' something (it's probably why the candle business was born) but in the meantime, I have kept this channel alive longer than I should have. Whether I do delete it all and start over, I'm still not sure. I reached my 100k which was a huge achievement and I'll always have that but it's all vanity metrics and it doesn't really mean anything. My core audience that have been with me for the long term, I know we will keep our community and that's really all I'm bothered about. I think I'm craving the early days of YouTube and the content for contents sake has gotten stale. I've never enjoyed the salesy affiliate link nature of the beauty community and at the few events I attended, I never felt I belonged. I think I fell in to it without much consideration and it's time to make a break. I'm not a beauty blogger anymore. I'm not sure what I am but if that was why you were here.. maybe I will see you elsewhere but no hard feelings if not!
