10 Thousand Friends

               AHHH I just reached 10 thousand friends on Instagram just a few days ago and it is kind of breathtaking to see how far I was able to go. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to have everyone's support and to have been able to make so many new friends, whether it be my lovely fashionistas or new friends that I have never gotten the chance to meet. It is kind of a crazy thing to know that some of these friends live half way across the globe while others live near me (literally several minutes away)! I'm so thankful for everyone who was able to encourage me to get this far and for so much more!

   

                  It's quite surprising to many to hear this but my favorite goal that I was able to reach was actually earning myself 1,000 friends. It's much more rigorous and being such a small account having those first few 1,000 supporting you is crazy enough! But to be truthfully honest the more you gain the more stressful it can be! There were times where I felt I wasn't good enough and there was better, what made me so special? To realize that there are always people encouraging me to continue was enough for me to do so even if I may not be the best ;) and that's a good type of change.

                There's numerous of times I nearly had a heart attack seeing my favorite fashion bloggers liked my photos or even decided to become my friend! It's extremely encouraging to see that those who inspires you are becoming closer to you this way! I've also been able to build such an amazing instagram family whom I adore each and every single member! 

Curiosity killed the cat! What's it like having 10 thousand friends?

1. It can get upsetting when you can't reply to everyone as fast as you can possibly especially on a tight schedule. I really wish I could answer everyone's such kind comments asap but with so many it's rather hard to do so.. which means I won't be able to reply until the next day or 2 :(!

2. There's almost always a new notification! Luckily for me I don't have a buzzer or anything once this happens!

3. Knowing you have 10 thousand friends some across the globe and others living near you is kind of a crazy yet neat thing! 

4. To be honest it's nothing really special or particular! I'm still me and thankfully this hasn't got to my head! I hope everyone realizes that even if you have 1 follower or 1 million followers, taking photos of what you loving and doing what you love shouldn't depend on the number of followers or likes you gain!
