Chapter 6 - What to livestream?

After following my morning routine the next day, I decided to livestream.

But the question remains what should I live-stream? Only thing I do is read novels and watch Animes. But these are out of question due to copyright issues so, they are out.

Not sure that many people will be interested in watching me counting trees either . I might be the only one who does it .

Live-streaming food review ? But who wants to see me eat Noodles , Cornflakes and Cereals all day long . Instead of arousing their interest in the food I eat , I might diminish it.

Other than that, live-streaming about HighSchool life ? Not sure if people will like to watch School in their free time . But I could do this as a donation session when I am rich, but first I need to earn money myself and be rich.

Sport review? I know that many people do this kind of stuff and they are kind of in business but I don't do no sports , other than mediating and exercising by which I basically mean running . Both of them cannot be live-streamed .

Well if you don't know , you can always look up in the google they say. So I searched "Live-streaming idea" in google.

First that popped up was House tour. I ain't got no house , so scratch that.

Showing off , got nothing to show off , next .

Q and A sessions . Well, that might be interesting but only if I was a celebrity. Who would want to know something about me , a wanna be streamer , with 0 followers? No one, next.

Share your expertise? Like how I can watch Animes and read Mangas all night long and can still make it to school in my two feet with my eyes opened ? Or how to survive on Noodles only? Or How to count trees ? Or How to be unable to communicate? Or How to make it through school life with no friends ?

No , thank you.

Live Interviewing somebody ? When I know nobody? Are you sure you are not mocking me ?

I was starting to believe that Live streaming was not my thing until I saw the the pop up Advertisement.

" new Amusement Park opening on next Saturday near the City Center " I used to hate pop ups but this time , it felt like a lifesaver.

Well, I thought I could maybe try live streaming the New Amusement Park while going through it and playing games in between . Even if I mess up and not appear interesting enough, Amusement Parks are fun anyway so it might help me cover up my mistakes .

So I had an idea now , what I needed was the equipment. I don't think I need something fancy and keeping our advanced technological advancements in mind , the Apple X might just do the job .

Then I switched on my phone which my Sister gifted to me on my birthday last year to test the video quality . I clicked on the camera icon and suddenly my feet appeared on my screen . Well, I am not ashamed to admit that I have never clicked photos in my life because I never felt the need to do it . So I didn't know what to do afterwards .

So I again looked up in google to search for how to film videos" and "How to make your face appear on camera " . To video from photo, i just had to slide my screen to the left . Easy.

And To turn the camera to my face was surprisingly easy, just a click away and it showed my face, instead of my feet . But there appeared so Camera in the front side of my phone like in the back side of my phone. Anyway, I decided not dwell in this wizardry and proceeded to ignore it.

After knowing how to film myself , I had to decide on the website which I would like to stream. Again, I asked google for help and it suggested several websites such as YouTube, QQ and twitch . I just decided to use YouTube because I had heard of it before .

I even decided to watch some ongoing livestreams as references to make sure not to make mistakes for the coming weekend. . In some , they laughed and opened Pokémon packets , in others , they did challenges to earn big money while making fun of others .

The most important aspect was to smile, to show a real smile . Every live streamer was smiling from heart but here lies the problem, I could not do it. I don't know how and why but I could not smile . Even if I find something funny , the most I can do is nod and appreciate it.

Every time someone makes a joke, I just nod and other party gradually loses interest in making a conversation with me due to lack of reaction from my part . That's usually how it goes .

After some time , I gradually started to fake a smile . The smile which I showed to everybody was a smile which I tried my hardest to make , to blend in a Society. To make myself appear normal but I knew from the inside I was doing my best to be normal . And it was very visible to others as well , that I was not really smiling even though I was having fun in the inside . This was one of the key reasons why I didn't have friends .

Until High school , I had already perfected my fake smile in a way it seems real. So every time , somebody says something funny , I just smile and not reply . This made other classmates believe that I am just a shy but a good person . But I was not sure if I could keep up with my disguised smile while going live and if I showed a shade of fake smile, that would be it.

So I went up to the mirror and scanned myself from bottom to up. I tried smiling , and tried and tried till I started believing myself that I could really smile . Well, let's see how it goes . Even if I mess up, it's not like that's the end of life .

Now I was all set . I had grasp of the basics and Equipment was also ready. So I planned on going to Amusement Park coming Saturday alone .

After this, I realized something very important . I had a Friend and his name was Google . I was not alone any longer. After this thought , I went to sleep , peacefully.
