I became a ASMR artist on YouTube.

我成為了 YouTube 上的 ASMR 藝術家。

Because I deal with my own pain each day.

因為我每天都要承受痛苦。

ASMR has truly helped me focus on living instead of dying.

Close your eyes.

An ASMR artist is someone who focus mainly on visual triggers and sounds to bring you some type of relaxation.

ASMR 藝術家主要專注於視覺上的刺激，以及會讓你感到某種程度上放鬆的聲音。

Some of the misconceptions that people have with ASMR is thinking that it's creepy, it's cringey, it's weird,

有些人對 ASMR 的一些誤解是認為它讓人起雞皮疙瘩、令人尷尬、令人感到怪異。

And I believe the reason why some people believe that ASMR is so weird is because I'm constantly whispering.

而我認為有人會覺得 ASMR 很奇怪，是因為我一直在用氣音說話。

I'm going to take a sip of my hot coffee for a second.

我要喝一小口熱咖啡。

But when ASMR artists' whisper, it's to bring you to that safe place.

但當 ASMR 藝術家用氣音說話時，它能帶給你安全感。

It's to make you feel calm.

它讓你感到平靜。

Tell yourself, " You're going to be okay."

告訴自己：「你會沒事的。」

I find my sounds in any and everything that I do.

我在我做的任何事情中都能找到我的聲音。

If I'm opening up a pack of gum, if I'm brushing my hair, people love crunch sounds like the pickle video.

例如，我打開一包口香糖、我梳頭髮，人們喜歡嘎吱嘎吱的聲音，像是吃醃黃瓜的影片。

I'll snack.

我要吃點心了。

I don't know what happens.

我不知道為什麼會這樣。

Why does eating a pickle causes a person's brain to shut down, but it will.

為什麼吃醃黃瓜可以讓一個人的大腦關機，但它真的能。

I have a degenerative bone disease.

我患有退化性關節炎。

I can't stop it, there's no cure.

我無法阻止它繼續惡化，它沒有解藥。

Before I discovered ASMR, I could not move.

在我發現 ASMR 前，我無法動彈。

I didn't have the strength to make myself stand up.

我沒有辦法靠自己的力量站起來。

So, when I discovered ASMR, I felt extremely relaxed.

因此，當我發現 ASMR 時，我感到前所未有的放鬆。

I feel like I was actually smiling just laying there.

我躺在那裡感覺到我真的在微笑。

I felt really, really good mentally.

我心理上的感覺非常好。

More so than being on medication.

甚至比藥物更有用。

And I said "Okay, I'm going to create a channel, and I'm going to create ASMR videos because there's a lot of people who are dealing with stress, insomnia, anxiety; who just need some comfort to get them through the night."

於是我說，「我要創一個頻道，我要拍一個 ASMR 影片，因為有很多人都在面對壓力、失眠、焦慮，而他們只需要一些慰藉來度過一夜。

I receive email from people who are bedridden and let me know how much I have helped them.

我收到臥床不起的人們發來的信件，他們告訴我，我幫了他們很多。

I always told my children one person could change the world.

我總是告訴我們孩子們：一個人也能改變世界。

And to actually be a part of maybe some type of change in some type of way, is amazing.

而能成為這樣某種程度上改變了世界的一份子，我覺得很神奇。
