Why did I start a blog? ( My Story )

Hey guys so if i was someone reading through someones blog, the first post that i would look for is their backstory, " why they blog". This probably should've been my first post but oh well here it goes.

---

It all started when i was around the age of 6. My aunts who currently live in Ghana and the other in London, started their Fashion Design business. They would constantly be sewing buttons and sewing clothes and bags and jewellery and ohmygoodness as a child i loved what i saw. I would constantly beg to help and re arrange the buttons and it was just something that just made me happy. As i grew older my dream job was always to be a fashion designer until i heard things like, " thats a dumb job", " you aren't gonna make any money", and things like that just got to me and forced me to put my dream job on hold and aspire to be something more practical like a " doctor", But my love for fashion never died. Whether i was walking down the street or scrolling through my instagram feed, i appreciated fashion wherever i was. You may be thinking, " well how did that lead you to starting this blog." Well in Grade 7 one of my friends started a blog and i was jealous cos i didn't know people actually did that and i got so inspired, so i made my very own blogspot account. I made that blog and continued with it for about a month and then i ran out of ideas. I made another blog on blogspot but i just got bored and felt so uninspired again. Then on one boring summer night, i decided to make a website that talked about fashion, beauty, recipes and even life hacks and it took days to make and fill with content but then i started to get lazy and started to copy and paste articles that i saw on other blogs and that just killed the love i had for my website. After that i just thought the blogging life wasn't for me, and of course people at my school were already talking about how much of a "try hard" i was, and that contributed to a lot of insecurities and lead to the shut down of my website completely. But this year something changed. I just thought about what i wanted and i saw so many other bloggers out there and, awe man, it hit me and i just felt like this is something i want to do, that makes me smile and that lead to the creation of this blog. When i first starting blogging i was scared of what people would think cos i get really insecure but honestly after i realized how much time and effort i put into making it a platform where i can speak and share different ideas and outfits and things that inspire me? i could care less. All i hope for and dream now is that i continue to do what i love and never give up on it. If i get recognized for it? That would be a dream. But if i don't all i know is that i'm a 15 year girl behind her laptop screen, putting effort into sharing my love of fashion and sharing lifestyle posts with the world and just hoping that they'll love it as much as i love it too.

xoxo Sj
