I have always been an introvert, I don’t party, I don’t go to public gatherings, I don’t even like being around too many people. In school I didn’t have much friends, but everybody knew me because of my personal style. Fashion has always been a huge part of my life from the very beginning. I loved everything about fashion from personal styling to textiles. I’m like a crazy cat lady when it comes to collecting fabrics lol.
I am a very quiet person, I value personal space like I need to recharge before I deal with people or else I just become unbearable. When I finally understood what blogging was in 2014 I decided to create this platform to have more “friends”. I would like to think I’m a likable person but then again that all depends on the Jael you meet and what you perceive as good characteristics… you know? When I first started blogging it was very hard because I had some social anxieties as well as some insecurities. I felt like everybody was judging me and to be honest people were being very rude to me, but I stayed. I was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago and she told me that I inspired her to restart her YouTube channel. She told me that she admire my persistency and that I have a strong character because even at times she questioned me and didn’t believe in me but I kept going like this run on sentence lol. Honestly that meant the world to me and it made me realize the real reason why I’m doing all of this, it’s not only about the stylings, makeup, or bomb clothes, it’s about spreading positivity and self love.
I am an introvert but it doesn’t mean I don’t like people, I just need to be with myself in order for me to be with people. I have become more social since I created this blog and social media accounts. I love talking to you guys and just being able to relate to strangers on a deeper level, it’s amazing honestly. Being an introvert is not a weird thing or a bad thing it just makes me unique.
I’ve been told so many times that I act like I’m better than everybody else . The thing is I don’t like unnecessary drama. If it has nothing to do with me why should I involve myself? I respect myself too much! I love to mind my business, ask anybody that knows me well and they’ll tell you. I love to be by myself because I don’t do well with people. Some people even tell me that my way of talking is too harsh and blunt but really I can’t help it. These are the reasons I stay to myself because I feel like I understand me better than anyone else.
The positive side of being an introvert is that it’s save me from a lot of trouble. I have become my own best friend throughout the years. People around me know when I’m getting overwhelmed and give me a break to refuel. Being an introvert has helped me develop a strong relationship with God. I’m in a better place than I was before because I take time to examine the problems in my life and come up with good solutions. Really being an introvert has become more of an asset rather than a liability.
That’s all for now, until next time stay fabu-lous!
