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. 

I started this series called the flop and it was originally based around my failed success as a YouTuber. As I continued the series I’ve decided to use it to talk about myself, personal life, work struggles, and things I go through on a daily.

I decided to come back because this is something I’m passionate about. All of this is a work in progress but I assure you that it’ll get better over time.



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.
