The Life A Multifaceted Person-AKA. ME
Since I was 7 I had a passion for creative writing and I had hopes and aspirations that one day I would win all kinds of awards, medals, and plaques. My mom would but my diaries and journals. After that I went into my artsy phase and i would get an art set for my birthday or Christmas. Till this day i have to to fine the gallery art my mom got me from Michaels. she would also buy me sketch books; Then as I got older I developed an interest in script writing, film, photography, and production. By The time I was 15;my mind was made up and I figured I start making making videos.
June 18,2009 Qu33nB3317 was born.
Main Channel That Started It All.
The part that sucks the most is I can't remember the first youtuber I watch that convince me to want to do you tube in the first place aside from being bored wanting to find a social media site to be on. By this time I had myspace, face book. twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. I didn't get my first camera which was a cheap camcorder until I was 17. My first video was my intro to a series of web shows I started on my main channel that carried over to my vlog channel -Shay7aTheIntrovert formerly known as - Scrawford2.
March 31,2011 Scrawford2 was born.
I have many hobbies/interests so I figured I would write about them all and dive deep into why all of my many attempts of sticking to one particular thing led me to just doing it all in hopes that one day I'll become successful and rich. Being a multifaceted person is a blessing but it's difficult at times because I really want to pick something and just focus on that alone. So overtime I did just that and I publish my poems and long story short I'm not a rich successful author. I guess poetry is a dead genre these days; However I kept writing and published my work on Wattpad.

As we enter into my 20s the time line is a little scattered because I was on and off with everything and we moved around a little so majority of my stuff was left behind. That sent to me into deep depression because I had a book that was unfinished and a journal entries that wanted published as well. I will say that during my late teens and early twenties I was trying to hang in there with you tube because I completing gave up writing and I wanted to be a podcaster at one point thinking it could possibly lead me into journalism. In 2017 I started my podcast using this app call spreaker then I went over to Spotify and they created an app called Anchor which now called Spotify For creators. To be honest I prefer the original name. The name of my podcast is rambling mic and originally it was supposed to be recorded journal entries and rants but I eventually branched out and starting talking about celeb gossip related things. Sometimes I would give updates on my life and give my own personal view/opinions on things.

Overtime I leaned into short form content and etc. By February 2020 I created a website that is currently forgotten about for my film production company -ApleTreeStudios. I had to change the spelling because a few studios already exist with that name and I don.t have time to get sued. I used a random name generator off google and it was between pink hoodie productions and apletreestudios. Of course i picked the second name because I didn't want everything to be associated with the color pink. Granted pink is one of my favorite colors but I wanted to be taking serious so I went with the other name. I'm still trying to figure where I wanted my first film studio space to be; so I'll just work from home and go from there.

Return Of The Introvert Aka Shayla Monique Crawford(2026)
I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since I’ve been on this platform. This is a prime example of many things I start but never finish. To be honest, My biggest fear is reaching success and not knowing what to do after that. So I figured I try this freelance writing thing one more time. Aside from writing, I’m blogging on this app called Rizzle.
Update: It is now 10 years later and I am no longer a college student and rizzle rebranded back in January of 2021 so I didn't get to save all my videos in time. I've been an employed factory worker for 2 years now and i was on medical leave twice due to my Tendonitis flare ups. Currently I have been trying to make a name for myself in the streaming world; Since 2021 I've accumulated 168 followers and was close to becoming a Twitch Affiliate. Well that didn't happen and eventually I started to experience burn out and I gave up on it all together until I found another live streaming platform that soon became Twitch's biggest competitor. It's called Kick and their guidelines and rules are much more lenient; basically you can get away with a lot to an extent. There's no ad breaks so you make money mainly off of drops, gifted, and regular subscriptions. Of course I didn't achieve much on that platform either. Its been a month since I've streamed a just chatting or movie night because my family and I have been going through it. We went through a lot of grief due to deaths of several family members and financial burdens. I also been stressing about quitting my 9-5 to pursue a full time content creator/Podcasting/ Writing Career. Then I was blessed with what seemed like a large amount of money but ended up being enough for me to eat and shop with. My mom just celebrated her 53rd. birthday and I just went all out for her because it was deserved. Honestly it hurt a little once I seen how much money I had left over but i did stash some to the side but I had to dip in for a last minute birthday gift/ early mother's day gift for my mom. Last but not least I curated a plan to get back on track and replenish my bank account.
