Q U E S T I O N S
โฐ Why did you start a blog? โฐ
I wanted a creative outlet where I could blog about my favourite things (mostly books ๐ ๐) and express myself through words. Iโve always loved the beauty of typing whatever is in your mind out, I think itโs just magical โจ I love the anonymous side of being able to express your thoughts and rambles with people who donโt know me and wonโt judge โฃ
โฐ What/who inspired you to do it? โฐ
My best friend, who I am NOT going to link and who has since quit bogging, had a blog and she pushed me to make one as she knew how much Iโd love to write my thoughts down to people, and how much I loved generally meeting new people and honestly I couldnโt thank her more ๐
โฐ What motivates you to keep pushing and creating content and make your site alive? โฐ
This is awkward *cough cough* seeing as y site has been dead for 8 on this ๐ The simplest answer here is you. Your wonderful comments, through-inspiring posts and just bright and stunning personalities ๐ I love all of you, and really feel like without you guys Iโd be nowhere. My family also really help, always giving me positive feedback on all my posts and sometimes I just need that push forward, and you guys give me that! ๐
โฐ Who are your fave bloggers? And how do they urge you to grow aswell? โฐ
Aditi – I picked Aditi because I love her mindset towards things, and I love how positive and bright her comments (and her personality) are! They always make me smile โ๏ธ Sheโs always been there supporting me and reassuring me about my worries, and just dealing with my hella crazy personality ๐ So thank you Aditi! x
El – I also picked El because first of all I love her blog (duh, itโs about books! ๐) and because I love all her constant happy comments, I always look forward to reading her posts and her replies always make me laugh! I know sheโs always there for me if thereโs something wrong ๐
Bayance – Where do I start?! Bayance you better get out the last packet f Kleenex for this, your gonna need it! ๐ First of all, her posts are SO inspiring. There is always this beautiful message behind ever one, and I just think she is such an inspiration to the blogosphere. Also her comments are just the FUNNIEST thing ever since quarantine memes, like honestly they make me smile and laugh out loud so much! โ๏ธ
Rhi – First of all, Rhiโs blog design is GOALS! Please click the link , because honestly you wonโt regret it ๐ First of all, we both share a love of books so already we are friends ๐ Rhi has pretty much been there from the very start, watching me grow as a blogger from stage 1. I have read so many amazing books due to her recommendations (*uhm* SOC and CK) and have had so many interesting convos with her! ๐ Her blog is amazing, like her, so please do not hesitate to check it out!! ๐
โฐ What lesson/s have you learned through your experience? โฐ
Iโve learnt that you should always be yourself. I feel like at the start of my blog, I as trying to be someone else (ageeees ago ๐) but it is so important that you be yourself, because your blog isnโt as beautiful if it isnโt totally you.
โฐ Has blogging brought on any impacts on you as a person? If yes, what are these? โฐ
Bogging has really changed my mindset towards life, in a totally amazing way. I have a much more open mind and positive attitude towards everything. Iโve really come out my shell and found myself again, Iโve found my worth. Itโs helped me to rise above peopleโs opinions about me and care about more important things ๐ All thanks to you guys! ๐
โฐ Not everyone is confident enough to start a blog, what advice can you give emโ? โฐ
I wold tell them to just do it. Put on your Nike shoes, and make that blog. Write that post. Post that post. Life is short, not short enough not to care, but short enough not worry about the consequences of a blog. I promise you that blogging will be one of the best things youโve ever done, so just do it! ๐
โฐ Give 3 facts about you as a blogger (strengths or flaws) โฐ
1. I struggle not to go off-topic in my posts 2. I make soooo many grammatical errors 3. Iโm really good at formatting posts and post graphics ( I sound so full of myself ๐ฎ)
โฐ Drop down your blog post which you are most proud of (together with the link so we can read it) โฐ
The blog post Iโm most proud of is Making Mistakes Is Okay so check it out if you havenโt already! Smile ๐
โฐ Does it scare you that someday one of your friends might find your secret blog? (If it is a secret) โฐ
This is a fear that has always haunted me when it comes to blogging ๐ Only one of my friends knows ( she doesnโt read it though laugh ๐) but I just canโt imagine all my friends knowing, I have some seriously personal things on here and it feels like my private corner of the web where I can just be myself, Iโd hate to lose that โน๏ธ

Did you enjoy reading this post? What would be your answers to some of these questions? If I didnโt nominate you (memory like a sieve ๐) Iโd love to see your answers in the comments! ๐
Thatโs a wrap! ๐

Congratulations girl!!
Thank you so much!! ๐
Congrats! I nominated you for the Happy Not Birthday Award!
Thank you! Ooo checking it out now, thank you so much for pinging me ๐
WOW I LOVED YOUR ANSWERS ๐ AND YOUR BLOG IS AMAZING ๐ฅบ๐
THANK YOU PENNY ๐ Thanks again for the nomination x
GIRL I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE ๐ญ๐ณ๐ฅฐ your kind words are EVERYTHING and I’m so glad that you see me like that!! Your blog is amazing and your personality is even better (also gonna take the fact that I’m first as a good sign heh) ๐ Thanks for the nomination and your answers are always amazing (obviousSLY). Your posts always make me smile x
HAHA! ๐๐ Aww of course I do Adi youโve been thee for me 100% since I returned and your support has really been appreciated โบ๏ธ Aww! My heart! *melts* ๐ (Haha yes donโt tell anyone lolz! ๐คญ) Thank you!! And of course canโt wait to see your answers, awww x
hey Amber!! so i just found your blog a few days ago and OMG IT’S SO ADORABLE!!! your blogging voice is actually the sweetest, most motivating thing ever, and your personality is golden. ๐ this is such a lovely award – you definitely deserve it! โค
also haha i totally agree about what would happen if my friends found out about my blog, only a few know about it and it would be weird for everyone else to read because i post a lot of personal stuff. ๐ i loved reading this ๐๐
Hey Ash! ๐ THANK YOU!! Okay I need to go in a corner and cry now from this lovely comment ๐ญ Gosh that is so kind!! Honestly m heart is melting with your kind words, I am so glad I managed to find your blog too!! Itโs a whole new world that I LOVE!! ๐ It is a really nice award, omg thank you again ๐ญ๐
Exactly! Like just the thought of them reading some of my posts which spill some pretty personal things makes me cringe! ๐ Thank you so much and I hope you friends never find out ๐ xx
Love what you have learned from your experience ๐โจ and I can totally relate to how it has impacted you! (I’ve come out of my shell in that I would have even been too shy to type out “totally” before ๐). The community on here definitely motivates me to keep my blog going are the amazing bloggers out there that inspire me (like you of course!) and I know some people blog primarily for themselves but I just couldn’t imagine not wanting to be a part of this community! ๐ต I mean, you for example have been such a support and that means the world to me โค๏ธ I enjoy writing posts but that’s just half the fun as the extension of them goes on in the comments with discussions and stuff, it’s just nice not feeling alone, I think I forgot how I used to feel that before I started blogging and somewhere down the line the majority of it just drifted away when my mind was taken off it โจ Anywho ๐ Thank you so much for the nomination! ๐โค๏ธ
Thank you so much Elsie! โบ๏ธ I totally agree, I feel like a completely different person in a way ๐ Aw thank you so much! The community definitely is a crazy motivation, and so supportive! ๐ I think thatโs crazy, hw d you keep a blog going without the reward of meeting lovely people?! Aw thank you so much you have been such a support to me too ever since you stumbled upon my blog, Iโve loved getting to know you through our chats and your wonderful posts! ๐ I totally agree, blogging just takes the edge off whenever you feel lonely, because you never can be with a blog! Exactly, itโs not just posting on a blog, itโs interacting and chatting with everyone ๐ Aw of course! I will look forward to reading your answers ๐ x
Ahh, I loved reading this! I don’t know why, but every time you post, it’s like this ray on sunshine! Congratulations on the award; I loved reading your answers! So glad to hear blogging has helped you ๐
Thank you so much Arshia! ๐ Ah my heart! Thank you again, yes it definitely has! All thanks to the wonderful bloggers Iโve met like you, also Iโm sorry I didnโt nominate you for this, but I have a few awards and I donโt want to pile you with nominations (also this was drafted ageees ago before I knew you were part of the blogosphere ๐) so I am SO sorry again, I didnโt really read this before I posted but just clicked โpublishโ ๐
Ahhhh that was the last thing on my mind! You are just too sweet!!
Awww! ๐ Thank you so much, also I am catching up on your posts I apologise again for my late comments ๐
