My 100th Post

This is my 100th blog post and I'm kind of freaking out about it. I wanted to properly celebrate because it's also my blog's third birthday this week and that is CRAZY. I started this just wanting to write about my own experiences and basically vent about whatever was happening in my life at that particular time, and honestly that's EXACTLY what I've done.
 
I used to spend hours editing my posts, altering my words to make them sound more professional, more sensible. But that wasn't me. It wasn't my voice. Until I realised that this is not supposed to be perfect, it's supposed to be real and the only way that would happen is if I was real. If I was honest and just wrote whatever came into my head as it happened. So that was what I did, I stopped filtering myself and just wrote about whatever I wanted. Makeup, music, books, life, anything that was on my mind or warmed my heart. Here we are, 3 years later and honestly I still love writing. It makes me feel liberated and empowered knowing that I did this all by myself, I created this entire blog by MYSELF, and if you know me personally, you'll know that this is quite impressive since I am the actual worst with technology. And yet, my blog looks, in my opinion, pretty good. Obviously, I'm still trying to improve it as I learn but overall, I feel like I've done a good job, even if I do say so myself.
 
So what I wanted to say was: I write what I want. It all depends on how I FEEL and that's about it. It's a little place for me to be ME. So why don't you do something for you? Something that makes you happy, something that inspires you, something that makes that shitty day feel just that little bit better.
 
Blogging is that thing for me.
 
It is mine and I am proud.
