Numbers

Followers, subscribers, likes, shares...NUMBERS !! We're obsessed with them. Don't worry I'm including myself in this.

I started my blog in 2014, Originally called 'Charlotte says what?' It was a place where I could share my late night morphine induced ramblings.
In 2015 I started making YouTube videos because I felt like I didn't always know how to put into words what I was trying to say. Actions speak louder than words etc.

Fast forward to now and whilst I still love creating content for the very same reasons, (This is a 5am morphine ramble) I find it hard to write a post or create a video without wondering
'Will people hate it?'
'Will they unfollow?'

Yes hands up !! I've even been guilty of deleting a Facebook post or Instagram pic if it didn't get enough likes.

When did we all get like this?
Even as I type this I'm worried about the reaction.

Blogging / Vlogging becomes more and more competitive everyday, whilst it's great people can now effectively make a living from being themselves. Sometimes I wish we could all go back to the beginning and remember exactly why we started this.

I bet for the majority it had nothing to do with numbers.

Why did you start blogging / vlogging?
