Fast Fashion

I’ll be the first to admit it: I love shopping. It is an addiction. There’s something about buying a new candle, journal, or knick-knack that makes me so happy. But my ultimate drug of choice is clothes. I look for new outfits when I’m sad, bored, happy. Of course, if I am being honest, this shopping addiction is not new.   However, elementary school me was never really concerned with where I was getting my clothes. I never looked at the fabrics used in the clothing or researched the history of the brand. It was never anything that crossed my mind.

Welcome to me

I don't know what the plan is with this blog (and kind of just with life in general). For the last year I've been on a path of self discovery, one that my astrology app tells me I need to be on.

I decided to name my blog "This World of Mine" because those four words plan to be the essence of this blog. I want to write about my life in all its glory-- the travels, the college experience, and the heartbreak of it all. To me, it matters little if I actually have readers (although I welcome you with open arms), all I want is to journal my life online. So, since you're reading this, I hope you plan to stick around, I can guarantee there will be many ups and downs. K
