This is my first ever story uwu so sorry if i don't get everything right but i tried my best! Don't let the ammount of words scare you, i advise you to read cause i think it's a nice story full of imagination and detail.

July 21st 2012
The cab dropped me off at my new small apartment in WestWood Cincinnati, Ohio. A fresh breeze blew my hair gently as i looked up at the building in front of me getting ready to enter.  I'm ready to start a new journey here. Coming all the way from (Insert european country here) i was jetlagged, my eyes felt so heavy i could barely see but finally here i was, where I've always wanted to be... or well close enough. I figured if i couldn't make it to LA i'd settle in Ohio for a while, save up then, finally move to the real destination of my dreams, Los Angeles California. I came here with high hopes that I'd be hired as a videogame artist or well somewhere along the lines of that. At least i'd sent out some job applications but in the meantime i was accepted as a part time waitress in a little sushi restaurant by the corner of my street. I didnt know what i wanted to do yet but my life has always been set on art. I've always loved drawing and videogames so i felt i'd take a chance at designing some art for videogames but I've also always loved makeup, explains why i love drawing portraits mostly. On the side i was making videos on youtube but that was just stupid, i wasn't really all that popular but I'd get some money from it at least, not enough obviously, i wouldn't be here otherwise. I'd watched people like pewdiepie and the smosh duo create videos, having fun and so i decided to do the same thing. I was into gaming mostly. I made videos on horror or indie games, just anything but mostly amnesia like dear pewds since he was kinda blowing up slowly and besides the game was good fun even though i'd be screaming half of the time. Luckily my apartment is top floor so i wouldn't piss anyone off hopefully but not many people lived in the building, in any case i'll put up a sound proof wall... that is if i have enough money, in the meantime i'll have to keep quiet if i get complaints. I pushed the door and made my way up the stairs, thinking of what i left behind for this. It was what i had to do to make my dreams come true though. I'd said goodbye to mom and dad and left everything behind. Of course i already miss them but I'd already planned to call them daily and visit as much as i could. At least i don't regret it, it was what i had to do. I couldn't have made it back in (Insert european country here). They always said America was the land of dreams. At least i wasn't here on my own. My bestfriend was going to arrive here next week since she had some unfinished buisness back home. She wants to be a director, the next steven Spielberg but a woman. We both went to college together and graduated with a degree in the arts. It took us a while but here we are at 20 years old ready to take on the world. You see back home we enter college when we're around 16 years old and finish at 20 so we'll get an earlier head start. I'll be lonely until she gets here, I'll feel out of place but what could possibly happen in a week's timespan?

I opened the door to my apartmemt and gasped. I stared at it all in awe. I still couldn't believe i was here finally. It was small but it was a start. A lovely small living room perfectly arranged with the white wallpaper and a view of the city. It looked so beautiful from up here, i couldn't see everything but i liked what i saw, a small park, a few stores and i could sort of see the beautiful ohio river seperating this state from Kentucky. This was unlike anything i'd ever seen before, it was so different from everything back home. I entered the kitchen, small but comfortable, good enought to make pancakes. I made my way to my room through a corridor. It was the right size and had a window above my bed. I had so much decorating to do before it could be MY room. I looked at the boxes outside my room and knew i was ready to unpack. My bestfriend's room was right across mine and i could see more boxes piled up in there. The bathroom was all the way at the far end of the apartment. Before i could unpack and start on my room i wanted to update my few hundred fans about why i haven't been uploading for a bit, even though it's a few hundred they still deserved to know why i was gone.
I sat down on my bed with blank bedsheets and placed the camera and tripod to face the window and me sitting on my bed. This camera was one of the most expensive items i owned at the moment so i was sure to set it up carefully. I pressed the record button and waved shyly at the camera. "Hello, hey it's me your neighbourhood (Your YouTube Name)", I said in a slightly shaky voice continuing with, "I haven't been uploading lately because i moved!" I said more enthusiastically. "I'm here all the way in Cincinnati, Ohio. Yes, this whole big change scares me ever so slightly but im following my dreams. Everyone should follow their dreams, remember that. I'm just here trying to figure out where life will lead me." I sighed with a smile and ended with, "I'll try to upload some more amnesia and challenges when i get everything settled but for now i hope y'all miss me" I giggled at the camera and pressed the record button once again to end my video. I disassembled the tripod and placed my camera on my brand new desk.
I jumped on my bed now staring at the ceiling, a million thoughts racing through my mind. I looked at the hallway again and groaned. I had so much to unpack, then edit and upload a video. I got back up on my feet ready to work. A full day ahead of me. Tomorrow i'd start working at the sushi shop. I was slightly nervous but I was always quite a social butterfly, good with people so i'd figured this would be a piece of cake although it was a whole different continent.

Finally at 10 in the evening I had finished unpacking some boxes successfully decorating my room and making my living room and kitchen look like a proper living room and kitchen. My room wasn't quite MY room still but I had a lot more things to buy to make it look like MY room. I had posters of my favorite bands and artists up, my art stuff in a little basket and my desk was set up with a few books on the shelf on top. A few figurines from the legend of Zelda were also placed. I was quite the geek. In my living room I had a few gaming consoles and tons of video games and my kitchen was spotless. It wasn't quite home yet with a few boxes still closed but I managed to do so much, at least the bigger parts of the apartment were done. My best friend was responsible for making her own room so I wasn't going to touch all her boxes. The bathroom was the last place I had to finish but it was the smallest room in the apartment. Since it was less work i decided to finish it up tomorrow. On an empty stomach i turned off all the lights and got into my room. I took off all my clothes and put on a pair of shorts and an oversized tshirt. I placed my uniform on the white trunk in front of my bed where i kept a couple things from back home. I was ready for tomorrow. New life, new career and new people. Hopefully people here in America are the same as back home. I already uploaded my video in between decorating and it got a couple thousand views. I felt good since it seemed like more people were watching me. I looked at my subcount and found out i had reached a thousand. For some reason that felt special enough to pour myself a glass of wine i got from mom's fridge. I sipped slowly while i watched some videos. While watching pewdiepie about to brofist the camera i couldn't help but look at the thumbnail of an asian looking guy with black hair playing amnesia so i decided to watch that video. Right off the bat i couldn't help but laugh at how scared this man was. He seemed so young, well he probably was. He had a few thousand subscribers, more than me for sure and i could see why. He was funny and sounded slightly childish. I smiled the whole way through the video and when it finished i took my last sip and shut down my computer.
I went to the kitchen and cleaned my glass, putting it back in its place. I slowly paced to bed and slid down under the warm covers. I sighed and shut my eyes,
"Welcome to a new chapter".
