5 posts i've been loving | #14

Hey guys, I'm back again, sharing some of my favorite posts. These posts have just spoken to me in some way or another. If you're ever looking for something new to read, I definitely recommend you check out this post or look at the rest of the ones I've made in this series!

So let's get right into it!

friendships vs. cliques in the blogging world by abbey louise rose

I remember when Abbey created the poll on twitter asking people if they thought blogging was clique-y. I was a little bit surprised when the majority of people said yes. I have always felt pretty included by most bloggers.

Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but I've messaged people with loads of followers about something, and have never been ignored. I have never felt like people didn't want to talk to me because I wasn't part of their "clique".

While I'm friends with a lot of people in the blogging community, I wouldn't ever say that I was part of a clique? It might be because of the fact that I talk to anyone that I want to. Or the fact that I'm closest with those that started blogging around the same time I did? I'm entirely not sure.

If you continue on to read her post, you would see that while a lot of people say that there are blogging cliques, they couldn't give an exact example of why they felt that way!

I seriously recommend this post, especially if you're a blogging! Click here to give it a read.

why i'm not a beauty blogger anymore by but first, coffee

While I'm not strictly a beauty blogger, I found this so interesting, because even though she was blogging for a long period of time, she realized she didn't love it as much anymore and decided to switch her niche.

It shows that it's never too late to change what you want to write about!

what i learned about friendship after not speaking to my best friend for a year by the little plum

As always Chloe sucks me in with her words. She has such a way with words, and I absolutely love it.

This topic in particular was one that I really related to. I actually stopped speaking to my best friend for about 2 1/2 years. The way that Chloe describes as the reason why the friendship ended in the first place, is something that I can really relate to, because I think our friendship ended for the same reason.

Okay, our friendships didn't end exactly the same way, but the same feelings were involved. The same exact mindset.

Just like Chloe and her best friend, I am pleased to announce that the friendship I had with my best friend is actually better and stronger than it ever was. I definitely recommend you give this a read!

a letter to the person who nearly destroyed my life by rosie loves life

Open ended letters like this are so beautiful to read. Mainly because they're so raw and honest. I really felt for Rosie in this post, and I just thought it was so well written. This was the type of post, that you couldn't read fast enough. You just had to know what happens next.

While I completely feel for Rosie and what she went through, I think she is so brave for writing a post like this. I don't want to give away too much, but I suggest you check this post out! Click here to give it a read.

the beauty of online friendships by beth sandland

This is such a great topic. I have made so many friends online. True friends. People who know so much about  my life. Girls that I talk to on almost a daily basis.

It's something so funny, because a lot of people don't understand what it's like to have true friendships that have been made online. It's a little weird if you think about it too much. I have these people that I have so much love for that I have never even met in person. It's kind of crazy.

But it's the truth, I love and care for them. If you have similar feelings as I do, I suggest you give this post a read! You can check it out here.
