Surprisingly, I'm quite a private person. Whenever I tell anybody this, they look at me with a confused face and it usually follows with a comment along the lines of but don't you blog about your life? And yes, yes I do... But I have a filter that I place over my life, be that an Instagram filter on a selfie to cover my imperfections or missing out a few details from a story to protect my privacy. I don't want to look back on my teenage years and regret sharing information online.

Once upon a time, my blog was a space where I would share every detail of my life but once it became a more known platform I made the abrupt decision to put a vault on the more 'intimate' or 'private' areas of my life. A girl's got to have some secrets, right?! The reason I used to share so much, is because I would never have expected to grow my platform to where it is today.

I occasionally give a glimpse into these more intimate parts but they make me nervous to share it online with all of you. I don't necessarily think it's the idea of sharing my life with all of my readers, but more that it would be published online for anyone to see and come back to read forever.

I want to start being more open in my blogging and sharing insight into what I used to keep private.

I've been asked a lot as to why my relationships are kept offline. For me, a relationship is quite a private and intimate thing and I like to keep it as something just for the two of us to enjoy. With my last relationship, I constantly was critiqued for not sharing photographs online or even changing my Facebook relationship status. However, looking back on that relationship, I always had a doubt that he wasn't good for me and that our rocky relationship would one day crumble. And I was so right. 

much love,
