I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who has been super nice and supportive. It was never my intention to be a "content creator"(I still don't really think I am lol). But, my goal this year was to be more true to myself and post because I like to post and make things and live life to the fullest. I didn't want to post with the worry of "what will they think of me", or "will anyone like it?" I wanted to do it because I WANTED TO. Because I enjoy it. I wanted to be more of myself and not worry about what others think of me.
I've spent a lot of years being way too concerned about what others thought of me and it is only recently that I have completely broken my shell to be myself as much as I can be. If my teenage self could see me now, she would think I'm unrecognizable. Even now when I do things, I have to stop and do a double-take, because I know I would've never done it a few years ago.
But that was my goal in posting things. It's my blog, a little diary of things I've done, of what I'm interested in and like doing. I have almost no photos or videos of myself from when I was in middle and high school because I completely avoided them or deleted them. I wasn't happy at the time, but I am now. I don't want to shy away from myself or being open and free just because I am afraid. What I do now is for fun and I'm having a blast. I'm much happier being me than pretending to be someone else. And I won't lie, it isn't always easy, but I'm going to keep trying because I am happier now than I've ever been.
Going from a few hundred followers to over five thousand is not what I expected when doing this. However, I'm not complaining either! I think it's actually super reassuring and it makes me really happy knowing that my true self is what has brought me joy when I tried for so long to hide it(thouuuugh still nerve-wracking too sometimes lol). I've had such a fun time doing this so far and I'm so glad that what I'm doing for myself is also bringing joy to other people. It's honestly just super amazing. It means I've got it right this time. And I'm inspired by the fact that I can be inspiring to other people. I literally just want to melt.
I know that a lot of you have followed me for my Transformers content but to know that you are also interested in the other things that I create out of pure passion and love regardless of whether it is Transformers or not really warms my heart. My writing is LITERALLY me and I've put in countless hours for my craft. I've always wanted the chance to share it with the world. The act of writing, creating, sharing, telling, and everything that goes along with it is something so special that words could never fully express it.
Thank you so much for being so kind and offering so much support. I'm content with being a little blip of positivity in your day if I can be. I want to show people that things can be good and that being true to yourself is the best decision you can ever make.
I hope you enjoy what I've written here. It'll be updated from time to time, and I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing. Remember to find joy in the little things, make an adventure out of life, and know that, though loving yourself can be a difficult journey, its well worth the work.
Be unapologetically you. <3
xoxo, sunny
