Read the text:

Do weird, funny or interesting things happen to you a lot? Are you good at telling stories? Can you imagine hundreds of thousands of people wanting to hear about your life? That’s what life is like for YouTube star, Jessi Vee. Her videos of funny stories about herself, and ‘Creepy Neighbourhood’, have been watched over 150 million times and subscribers to her channel grow every day; it’s a trending show.

In just a month after I first found Jessi’s YouTube channel, she had gained over 8,000 new subscribers. And a video that’s only been on her channel for five days had already been watched 169,000 times. With these kinds of numbers, you might think Jessi is an international star with her face on magazine covers all around the world. But she’s just a regular 23-year-old living in Ontario, Canada, with a talent for turning her life into her work, six days a week. ‘My days change depending on if it’s the beginning of the week or the end,’ says Jessi. ‘Typically, I’ll spend the whole day Sunday thinking of ideas and researching for videos that I want to film that week.

Then, come Monday, I’ll wake up bright and early to start filming. Usually a video will take just over an hour to film, and I try to film around five, so it takes up most of my day. Then, from Tuesday to Friday I’m usually editing them. ’Being a YouTuber isn’t just about making videos. Jessi also spends a few hours a week replying to messages from her subscribers. Sometimes she meets fans in person because, since passing 700,000 subscribers, she gets recognized when she goes out. ‘It’s so funny because I can meet subscribers anywhere and everywhere,’ she says. ‘The other day I went to buy coffee and there was a girl serving me who almost dropped my coffee when she realized it was me. She actually left the coffee shop to meet me in the parking lot to take pictures. It always makes me happy to see them greet me with a huge smile. Online life isn’t all wonderful and Jessi used to feel bad when people said negative things about her.

‘Some people online are haters and so quick to write hate comments,’ she explains. There were people who said that she has huge cheeks and really thin lips. “Once, someone threatened me and at that moment I felt my safety in risk”. It made her feel bad until she found strength inside herself. ‘I realized that the things people were hating on we’re things about myself that I couldn’t change. So, I decided to love those things and became more confident in myself. Now, she just laughs when she sees a hate comment. ‘I know that they are from people who don’t feel good about themselves and I know that I have way more supporters than haters.’ Supporters cheer me up even in bad moments.
