Hi everyone! Sorry, I've been gone for a while. I wanted to talk to you guys about some things. I have a few announcements!
First of all, I hope you all enjoyed my first two pieces (How Hating Rap is Anti-Black and When Did You Fall in Love with Hip-Hop). It took a while to write both of those, and I appreciate the love they received. Honestly, I'm realizing all of my essays might take a while for me to make. I always expect to finish everything I write in one day, but that's never the case lol. I also have more projects coming up for this blog that I wanted to talk about today.
In my older piece, I talked about being introduced to different subcultures such as skateboarding culture and graffiti. Something I didn't mention was that it also introduced me to different types of fashion, mostly streetwear. After I graduated high school, I've been trying to upgrade my style, get more inspiration, and find pieces that fit who I am. Lately, I've been able to put more time into my style and discover things that I'm into, so I want to talk about them on the blog as well. I plan on making a new page, specifically for fashion. For right now, I named the page "CD's Fashion Journal," but I feel it's too basic...but also, I can't come up with anything else. That might just be the official name LMAO. If the name changes, you guys will be the first to know. I think making a space to talk about fashion will fully encourage me to start taking my style seriously instead of just daydreaming. I say that because the amount of times I've made Pinterest boards and vision boards dedicated to fashion? The amount of times I've simply dreamed about having my "dream closet," but not actually contributing to MAKING the dream closet? Yeah, I don't find it surprising that I want to change that. I hope I don't say this too much, but I think doing this will give me the opportunity to explore my passions more. I personally think it'll be fun! However, I don't want to get too excited because I haven't actually written anything for the fashion journal yet. Right now, it's just an idea and it'll take a while to make it official.
Also, another reason I've been gone is because I've been working on my social media pages lol. I've been on TikTok to be more specific. I originally thought I wasn't going to keep TikTok for long, but I ended up liking that app the most. If anything, I hated Instagram more than I expected. Now, it's so hard to get numbers and attention on Instagram, it's not even funny anymore. The algorithm completely sucks. Anyway, I've been making my slideshows on there and trying to get more people to come to the blog. So far, it's been working really well (and if you're here from TikTok, welcome to the blog). To be completely honest, TikTok will probably be one of the main platforms I'm on aside from the actual blog itself. I think I'll also keep doing the slideshows on my TikTok page too, they were fun to make.
Anyway, I think that's everything. Again, I'm sorry for being gone for so long. I'll try to give the blog some love too instead of just TikTok lol. Thank you guys for listening! ★
