What does "success" actually mean?

I realize this isn't a particularly original topic for a video, but I guess everything has been done already anyway, so why bother haha.

Much like all my recent videos, I found myself falling down a rabbit hole of old comics. Like Sunday comics, not comic books.

Calvin and Hobbes, Charlie Brown, etc. Most of them, to be honest, are pretty garbage. But there are a few that really stand the test of time.

Of course, Calvin and Hobbes was already talked about by people much more talented than me, and rather than talk about Charlie Brown directly, I thought I would focus on one particular aspect.

Charlie Brown, the character, is supposed to represent failure. Can't kick a football, can't fly a kite, can't talk to the red-haired girl.

This got me thinking: What is success?

Growing up, I thought that having a good job and having good money was successful. And, I guess that was the case for most people.

But, with the internet taking over everyone's lives, now success is based on something completely different.

Having money now makes you the bad guy, in a sense. You need to have tons of followers and retweets, no matter what your real life situation may be.

By all accounts, I should feel successful. Going from homeless to living my current lifestyle took years of hard work.

But, because I have so few subs/followers, it feels like nothing I do matters.

Despite all my life/work experience, none of it has value unless the silent hand of the internet deems me worthy of worth.

It's a very odd feeling.

Anyway, my original mission with these videos was to see how far I could go using only Premiere. And, I think I reached the very edge with my Amy Schumer and Nestly videos.

So, I am embarrassed to say, I finally started learning After Effects, as you can clearly see in this video. I'm not that good yet, but give me a week or two haha.
