It’s been a real good year, ya’ll. I’m actually having a hard time writing this post because I know that I’m going to start crying and my makeup looks so good today, I’m not ready for that. In April, when I began this blog I was truly only doing it because my best friend decided to start a blog and I wanted us to have something fun to do together. I figured taking my blog from Tumblr to the big kid world of WordPress was just going to be a hobby, maybe something to justify my love of clothing. I had no idea that it would turn into my career. I couldn’t have ever imagined that 7 months later I would be called a “writer”. It’s all thanks to all of you.
You have all opened your hearts to me, and let me be a small part of your life, and I am so grateful. As I learn about myself and my own struggles, I have the support of this little community we’ve made cheering me on and reassuring me that I’m not alone. I’m never alone. You have all saved me. The things that I thought would be impossible to overcome have been met with more love and positivity than I knew existed. All of the scary feelings that arise when you try to learn how to love yourself are all eased your voices of encouragement and validation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I hope that 2016 will bring us closer together, and further along the path of self love and acceptance. I hope that I can continue to open myself and be vulnerable, because the rewards have been tremendous. I hope that in some small way I can contribute to creating a place where others feel safe from body shame and guilt, and can be themselves. I hope you’ll join me.
I love you all so much. Thank you a million times. Here’s to an amazing New Year!
