Please introduce yourself, and tell us a little bit more about you and your blog.

I'm Olivia a.k.a O Williams, one of those horrible people who's overly obsessed with Netflix, music, and sleep--a combination which usually doesn't work right. My blog consists of lengthy life rants, confusing fangirl posts, and me forcing my music taste on you.

When did you start your blogging journey and why?

I started blogging August 2013 for a school assignment--I originally had a blog on Wordpress which was terrible, but decided to switch to Blogger as more bloggers my age were there and I felt more freedom using that program rather than Wordpress. So here I am! *crickets*

What's the most challenging aspect of blogging for you?

Being consistent. I'm not a particularly busy person; I just procrastinate a lot and end up spacing my posts out for days, even weeks. It's frustrating for me and my followers.

Do you have any blogging rituals (like following a strict schedule or making sure to procrastinate by going on Pinterest first, etc.)?

Not really--I mostly just write a post when an idea pops in my head, and I wait a day or two to tweak it before posting.

What's your number one blogging tip?

Okay so probably every other blogger in the history of blogging says this, but I'm gonna dig up that dead horse and beat it some more: BE. YOUR. SELF. Guys it looks soooo bad when you fake your personality and interests, and yes, people can read "fake" through blog posts. Please please please be yourself; if everyone doesn't like you, that's okay, not everyone is supposed to like you. As long as you've got loyal followers who like you and your blog, that's all that matters.

Besides blogging, what other hobbies to you enjoy participating in? Which are you most passionate about?

My hobbies include napping, binge-watching Netflix, eating, peeping other blogs, somehow spending hours on Pinterest, watching LoveFromLiyax and CinemaSins, and, very occasionally, writing. I think I'm most passionate about sleeping--it's the one thing I think most about even when I'm doing my other "hobbies".

(Due to the title of my blog, I feel like I should ask:) Do you feel like you know yourself?

I think I do. I definitely don't know everything about myself--no one does, especially a mere 14-year-old. But I think I'm learning myself, and God teaches me more every day--sometimes good, sometimes bad.

The Best Experience in the History of Experiences

Last week, on September 13th, 2013, two amazing things happened. Niall Horan--of One Direction--turned 20! *sends glittery kisses into the wind* I didn't forget you, baby! I promise! I met up with the most amazing person that has ever come into existence . ^^^ *sniffles* Here is a photo of our good-bye hug. Kenz added the glitter. ;) My family and I had to drive about three and half hours, to get to our meeting place--which was a beautiful Barnes and Noble full of amazingly exquisite books [it was quite heavenly]. The whole trip there I was bubbling with excitement. Rocking in my seat, tugging at my hair, belting out the lyrics to any songs I knew when they blasted out of the speakers. I had a little brother to my left, a window to my right and a present in my lap--and a stuffed Pikachu at my feet. o.O Finally , we arrived at our destination. I cannot describe to you the feeling of walking up to that bookstore, and having a someone whom you haven't p...

silver linings

a post inspired by this lovely photo. [ photo via pinterest ] sitting swinging singing head bowed arms hanging voice low thinking blinking shrinking gears turning eyes wide shoulders slumped where did it all go? * * * She doesn't want to look up, only for her eyes to find the dark and terrible surroundings she calls her world. She doesn't want to go back, to the dwelling where words were spoken and exchanged but never taken back. She doesn't want to sit there forever. But that seems like the best option right now. While she swings, she listens and thinks, sings and sinks, the only company she has is the rag doll under her fingertips. It looks worn--just like her. And torn--again, like her. And used--just. like. her. Yet loved--a foreign feeling that has been wasted. She lifts her head to look up at the dark sky, wishing the clouds would split apart and act merciless upon her. Instead, they seem as if to slowly zip open, lightl...

"it's complete"

[ photo via pinterest ] writing. exhaling words onto paper inhaling the smell of ink scribbling furiously shoulders tensing the pencil stops dead in its tracks words are hard writing ceases days pass by no words are exhaled no ink is inhaled the author is taking a break dreams occur inspiration is sparked writing begins again and it doesn't stop "it's complete" two words that mean so much sentences build paragraphs that build chapters that build a book that build a lesson, a story my lesson to you is || don't ever give up thanks for reading. <3 xoxo, Rose pinterest instagram bloglovin
