I awoke later in the evening with a brilliant idea for a new video. I wanted to try more videos of me covering popular songs, because that's how many famous singers got their start. It could work anyone, I suppose.

I sat up and got back onto my laptop and onto the internet, searching for a song. A few minutes later, I came up with piano sheet music to "Stay" by Rihanna and Mikky Ekko.

The piano accompaniment seemed easy enough to start out on, so I went over to my keyboard and began playing the chords of the song.
I had it down pat nearly 20 minutes later, and it was time to add the words. I set up my camera and made sure everything was in place before I began recording.

At first, I was tense. I always was when I began a video. But the longer I played and sang, it just became easier. I began to lose myself in the song.

"I want you to stay." I sang numerous times.

'If I only had someone to sing this about.' I thought. When I finished, the sky outside was a shade of purple turning into a navy blue. It had begun to rain lightly, only fitting the mood.

I quickly uploaded the video from my camera onto YouTube without editing it. It took a couple minutes to finish up, so I decided I would change my clothes and settle in for bed. I was still tired from my nap earlier.

The video was taking longer to upload than I expected, so I walked downstairs to see my parents sitting in the living room watching television and my brother in his room playing video games.

I hadn't told my parents about my YouTube channel yet. I didn't want them to make fun of me for trying to become famous. My parents were never the kind to wish big for their children. They always thought we would just be a normal family living in a suburb outside of Los Angeles.

But I wanted to change that.

I said my hellos to my parents and moseyed over to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Conveniently, there was a pizza box lying in the kitchen, so I grabbed a slice and headed back up to my room.

The video had finally uploaded and I put away my camera equipment. I ate my slice of pizza quickly and laid back in my bed, where sleep took over.
