A Letter to Change

Dear Reader, I have decided to start using my blog as an online journal. I’ve tried doing book reviews and keeping it somewhat professional, but I’ve realised that that isn’t what I want my blog to be. The idea for a blog originated as a YouTube channel when I was only 10 years old. Back then I would make videos of anything and everything that I found interesting. I want the essence of my blog, 7 years later, to be the same as that little girl’s dreams of a YouTube channel. I want my “reviews” to be rants about books that I love and not analytical opinions. I want to ramble about my favourite aesthetics, movies, books, Influencers, characters, and stories. I want to use this opportunity to share the thoughts and dreams of an aspiring teenager and her unusual interests and loves. I want it to be a place of whimsy and one that is unapologetically me! Signing off, Kait 💘
