It seems like many people say that starting something new can be a little scary; and I agree, sometimes it can be. But why would I be afraid to broadcast even more of my life onto the Internet? I've been doing YouTube videos regularly for nearly a year, but I've been doing dumb, cheesy videos with my friends for much longer than that. As much as I love getting to talk to my 430 subscribers, although I like to think of all of us as friends now (my greatest appreciation and recognition to a little website called Twitter), I feel much more confident and intrigued to express my feelings through writing.
At this point some of you might be thinking "Don't you have a Tumblr? Why do you need to make a regular blog?" Tumblr is a wonderful thing and I love it dearly, but I'm one of those people who pretty much only reblogs fashion and Louis Tomlinson. I am 100% shameless. While I know I am given the opportunity to post my own thoughts on Tumblr, I wanted a blog that was all mine. My goal for this blog is for this to be a place that a reader can come to feel uplifted.
It might not be happy, uplifting posts 100% of the time, as I am a teenage girl, (#highschooldoe) but I do want this blog to act as my diary that I would start and then stop continuously when I was younger. I want it to reflect what I'm feeling yet still be relatable to all of my readers. If you're one of my YouTube subscribers, thank you for being such an important part of my life, and of course coming over to read this blog. If you're just someone who enjoys reading blogs and happened to stumble across mine, hi! I'm Melissa. I like long walks on the beach, I like hugs, and I like you.
