What are the 10 things you regret doing in your life?

It was only smartphone in our family which my father used to take with him to work. He would leave at 9:30 AM and come back at 9 PM. I used to wake up at 4 AM and go to the terrace of my house to record voiceovers while hiding from the neighbors, otherwise they would think I'm psycho. My mom used to wake up at 6 AM to bring milk, so to get extra time, I started bringing milk instead of her so that she don't notice me and I would wake her up at 7 AM, and then leave for school. So, all in all, I had only 3 (or 3.5 max.) hours to do the job.

During those days, I was crazy for YouTube, even much more than IIT during my JEE prep. If someone had told me back then that I would clear JEE Advanced two years later, I wouldn't have believed them. In fact, I would laughed at them.

In class 12, her son scored less than 60% and daughter scored around 75% despite both of them being studious and taking tuitions worth 1000s a month and I did everything from YouTube.

How did you know you weren't the narc?

~ Trying to live a life worth remembering

Hsssh, let's stop for now.

My cousin (whom I used hate then and even now) used to have an extra phone which was of Intex brand, she used to keep it idle like it was of no use to her, but since I hated her, I never asked her to give it to me, infact she used to hate me too (some family issues). So, whenever she used to go out, I use that phone to create videos and before she come, I just put it at that same place so that she doesn't know. I used to save my money to do recharge for internet.

One day I missed putting the phone at the right place and she saw me, I just asked her to give it to me and she declined that she needed that one too, but she was just making excuses. Anyways, another time my dream was broken and I never touched that phone again.

(Who knows if I continued, what would've happened.)

I got exposed to YouTube when I was in class 6 and my father bought a second hand mobile phone, and not gonna lie, from the very beginning, I was more enthusiastic about the upload feature in the app more than the view one. I created many channels, more than 10 in numbers in different timeline but I would mention stories of the two channels where I spent more than 80% of my time.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Again, problem started. One neighbour saw me for several days and complained to my mom that he (me) talks to someone everyday for 3 hrs, I used to record voice for my videos so she thought like this. My mum ignored, I mean she didn't ignored but didn't reacted. A lot of neighbours started complaining the same, she thought I'm ruining her image in the neighbourhood, but still she didn't reacted. She listened me talking something but didn't reacted as I used create videos in English which was improving my vocabulary and english speaking too.

My most successful channel was created when I was in class 8. I had around 75–80 videos that got about 18K cumulative views which earned me around 800 subscribers. However, one random day, YouTube deleted my channel due to strikes from music labels and game developers. I used to create videos related to games not exactly like gameplay but telling people about games like its history, giving them safe mods, and all.

Finally, my YouTube fever got over, and some days later, I randomly started my JEE prep, did well and got into a decent college.

Honestly, I was so dedicated to YouTube that I would automatically wake up at 4 AM without any alarm. We were a joint family back then, and my grandparents used to wake up at 4 AM, so it was like ki if I'm waking at 4 AM, it's Ok but not if I wake up before that my parents would ask me to sleep. There were many instances where I woke up at 2 AM and went to the washroom to check my channel stats because of that 4 AM thing, and I used to spent 2 hrs. there in hot April weather without any fan or anything and I used to see all the stats. I can't tell how much involved I was.

My brother deleted everything, my channel, all of my screenshots, my editing apps, my voiceovers, everything.

My channel grew to some 400 subscribers in just 1 month and around 8–10k views in 30 videos before something happened.

This was one and only smartphone in the house, and it got some problems when I was in class 9, which shattered everything. We were living with a keypad phone for next 2 years.

Honestly, I don't have much regrets.

One random day, me and my brother started fighting for mobile(which is common between siblings) and he complained to my mom about my channel. I won't say she scolded me, she sort of tortured me and beat me a lot, like a lot like the same way police will treat a terrorist. I don't want to remember what happened that day, surely it was one of the worst day of my life. A creator was literally killed that day.

Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

I don't know but…

Then, after my class 10 board exams, which ended on 18 March 2020, we bought a new phone. The first thing I did with that phone was creating a new YouTube channel, even though I had no clear idea of what content to make. I started creating same game related videos, the content that I wished existed.

Only regret I have in my life is giving up on my YouTube dream.

How far does good behavior take you in a prison?

Plot twist : the day my dream crushed, I got an email at 3 Am from a game developer asking me to create a paid video about his game.

The neighbour to tell her first and spreaded all this in the neighbourhood was jealous of me as her son and daughter were my classmates and I was far ahead of them, I got 93% in class 12th where her son scored 72% and daughter scored 71% and I took revenge with her face being pale that day. My channel got deleted in May 2020 and result came on 15 July.
