Q U E S T I O N S

✰ Why did you start a blog? ✰

I wanted a creative outlet where I could blog about my favourite things (mostly books 📖 😂) and express myself through words. I’ve always loved the beauty of typing whatever is in your mind out, I think it’s just magical ✨ I love the anonymous side of being able to express your thoughts and rambles with people who don’t know me and won’t judge ❣

✰ What/who inspired you to do it? ✰

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 I’d love to write my thoughts down to people, and how much I loved generally meeting new people and honestly I couldn’t thank her more 💕

✰ What motivates you to keep pushing and creating content and make your site alive? ✰

This is awkward *cough cough* seeing as y site has been dead for 8 on this 😂 The simplest answer here is you. Your wonderful comments, through-inspiring posts and just bright and stunning personalities 💗 I love all of you, and really feel like without you guys I’d 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! 😊

✰ Who are your fave bloggers? And how do they urge you to grow aswell? ✰

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 ☀️ She’s always been there supporting me and reassuring me about my worries, and just dealing with my hella crazy personality 😂 So thank you Aditi! x

El – I also picked El because first of all I love her blog (duh, it’s about books! 📚) 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 she’s always there for me if there’s something wrong 💓

Bayance – Where do I start?! Bayance you better get out the last packet f Kleenex for this, your gonna need it! 😂 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! ☀️

Rhi – First of all, Rhi’s blog design is GOALS! Please click the link , because honestly you won’t regret it 😊 First of all, we both share a love of books so already we are friends 😂 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! 💗 Her blog is amazing, like her, so please do not hesitate to check it out!! 📚

✰ What lesson/s have you learned through your experience? ✰

I’ve 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 😂) but it is so important that you be yourself, because your blog isn’t as beautiful if it isn’t totally you.

✰ Has blogging brought on any impacts on you as a person? If yes, what are these? ✰

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. I’ve really come out my shell and found myself again, I’ve found my worth. It’s helped me to rise above people’s opinions about me and care about more important things 💖 All thanks to you guys! 😊

✰ Not everyone is confident enough to start a blog, what advice can you give em’? ✰

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 you’ve ever done, so just do it! 😂

✰ Give 3 facts about you as a blogger (strengths or flaws) ✰

1. I struggle not to go off-topic in my posts 2. I make soooo many grammatical errors 3. I’m really good at formatting posts and post graphics ( I sound so full of myself 😮)

✰ Drop down your blog post which you are most proud of (together with the link so we can read it) ✰

The blog post I’m most proud of is Making Mistakes Is Okay so check it out if you haven’t already! Smile 😊

✰ Does it scare you that someday one of your friends might find your secret blog? (If it is a secret) ✰

This is a fear that has always haunted me when it comes to blogging 😔 Only one of my friends knows ( she doesn’t read it though laugh 😂) but I just can’t 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, I’d hate to lose that ☹️
