Okay, wow. Welcome. Hi. I am super awkward. I am sorry. My name is Rowan, but I go by Ro. I am also small and brown like a potato. I am a 21-year-old Canadian-Filipino and I love food. I know loving food is basic, but... I can't help it. I love food. And sleep. Ask any of my roommates, and they will tell you I take at least 4-5 naps a day. Which is a bit concerning for a nursing student who has 12-hour shifts.
My intro sounds all over the place, I know. I am sorry about that. I am just really excited that I am finally confident enough to start a YouTube channel and my own website to blog about my life. I have always been thinking of doing something like a blog since I was 11 years old. When YouTube was starting to get big, even my parents suggested I try starting a YouTube channel when I was in high school. So many things happened growing up though, that blogging and vlogging were not important for me to start. But, I feel like I am at a good place in life right now and I want to share that with you guys.
Why am I doing this? Starting a YouTube channel? A website?
I am one of those girls who went through a huge transformation after a breakup. I know, that probably sounds lame. Also cliche. Maybe. I am not going to go too deep into that though. I do want to talk about it, but I do not want my first blog to be about my heart being broken by a guy. I mentioned my break up because I went through a huge transformation. I reached a point of loving myself and appreciating myself, more than I used to.
Everything I learned and experienced, nurtured me into a more confident individual. The feelings and lessons I learned, I shared them as "confessions" on my Instagram stories. A lot of my friends reached out to me, telling me that they were feeling the same way. That my "confessions" were something that they appreciated because someone they knew understood how they felt. Or that the "confessions" were the words they needed to hear to help move on from experiences that were hurting them. It made me happy, knowing that I can connect to people in such a way. Especially because some of these friends are in different cities and we do not get to see each other often.
My final reason, Isha. My best friend. My partner in crime. I will definitely be writing about her, and vlogging with her a lot. During times when I was struggling with family and my relationship, she has been my rock since the moment I met. When I reached that point of self-love, and was sharing my "confessions" on Instagram, or talking to her little sister on any type of relationship, she told me that I need to start putting myself out there. Talking to her made me feel like I could do it because I believed her when she said she believed in me.
What I am going to be writing and vlogging about?
A lot of things, just not everything. Family, friends, relationships, life lessons and experiences, growing up. I will also be writing about fun, miscellaneous things such as food. I am one of those people who have a ton of highlights on her Instagram page and have one dedicated to food. I love going trying out different food from new places. I am a foodie, not a food guru.
Wow, I just finished writing my first blog. I know it is not a big deal, but I am proud of myself for being able to do this. I am excited. Thanks to anyone who read it until the end.
