This is about to be a lengthy, random and interesting post that I really have no idea going into this what I am even going to be saying so, just a warning! I cannot believe that I have finally hit the point where I have been posting on Instagram for a year on my account. For those of you that have been with me for a long time you know that I had another instagram that I had since the spring of last year that unfortunately got hacked in December by some boys in my grade and to be honest when that happened I didn't think I was going to continue. The night it got hacked for the first time I remember laying in my bed and just asking why me why do they hate me? Was it because I sat alone in my room and talked to my video camera? I deleted everything I had ever posted and went through the following week feeling very empty. I look back at that time in my life and I laugh now because I cannot believe I let high school boys get into my head. But everyday I am reminded of how happy blogging has made me. And I am so happy that I did choose to continue. I started out posting on Instagram as much as two times a day on my other account which was originally Quirky and Classy or if you've been following me for a really long time you would know me as Pearls and Whales....its crazy how things have changed. I have finally established everything as ADashofKait and I love it so much. ADashof Kait stands for a little sprinkle of everything and I think that my life does contain a little bit of everything from being able to relate with all sorts of people to working out to going out with friends and having a good time! I try to vary my posts on the blog to get the attention of every type of reader I have. Once I had decided to recreate another instagram I decided that a blog would also be totally appropriate to begin and following that I even posted a few mediocre Youtube videos, but I think the biggest thing that I tell myself is that everybody has to start from somewhere and build themselves up from there. I have been able to meet some of my best friends through blogging and I also have been able to learn about myself and I highly encourage anyone who has any interest in starting a blog to do it. It is so rewarding to be able to look back on what you were talking about a few months ago and compare it to what you are thinking now and no matter what there are people that are reading what you are posting and I think that is one of the most rewarding thoughts. 3000 people have looked at my blog at one point or another. That is so cool to me, that people actually have taken the time to read what I have to say and the feeling is just unreal.
I know that I am not the most consistent person when it comes to blogging or posting on social media, and I know I have said that I have been busy a lot but I am done making excuses. Blogging is something I truly have fallen in love with. My passion for clothes and fashion drives me more and more everyday to strive to achieve all my dreams big or small. I think that clothes give you an idea about what a person is like and the way that people can relate themselves just thought having a similar taste is so cool to me. I do plan on going into the fashion world when I get older and my dad always tells me that you have to get your foot in the door and I think that blogging has given me a chance to meet people and do exactly what he said, get my foot in the door. I know that I will continue blogging for many years to come as long as I have the support of the people who have encouraged me from day one. I am excited to see where blogging takes me in life.
Once again I cannot say this enough. If you want to do something. DO IT. Don't worry about what other people will think, I can agree with you that I was extremely nervous when I found out that people from my school actually followed me and read my posts. But I have realized that people are supportive of me and its cool for them to see someone going for what they want. And now, some of those people that follow me from school are some of my biggest readers! Never be afraid of who you are or who you want to be. If people are your friends they will support you through anything that you put your heart into.
