MY BLOG IS TURING FIVE AND I'M FREAKING OUT SO WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE AND I'M GOING TO GIVE SOME SHOUTOUTS TO SOME COOL PEOPLE



So ummm???? My blog is turning five??? On the 11th?? And I'm so confused??? How is that even possible?? Five years is such a long time for me. Five year olds can walk. And talk. And eat. My little baby is growing up and bro I'm so confused??? I have nooooo idea how I could have had this little space for that long. I remember when I first started my blog. And when I changed the name. And when I got insta. And when I did my first blogger collaboration. And when I did my first brand collab. And when I really started doing youtube.

Blogging gives me so so so much joy. It has given me so many friends and opportunities and just confidence that I wouldn't have otherwise. My life has been pretty stressful with school lately and some things have been getting me down. I can always come back to blogging though and this amazing community. I love y'all so so so much and I hope you guys know that. :) If you don't already know to celebrate this occasion I'm going to try to do a bunch of collabs this month! I already have a couple lined up but if you want to collaborate please email me at nabileve@gmail!! I would love to work with you! For this post to start off the month I thought it would be fun to list some peeps I love and that have super duper helped me in my blogging journey. :)

One side note before we get started though, my schedule is going to be super off this month! Sorry y'all!
Lexie- Lexie was one of the first bloggers I ever found and she's so cool!! She's one of the only bloggers that I've known from the beginning who has actually kept up a consistent blog. She's super sweet and I'm happy I get to call her my friend. :)

Abbie-  Abbie is one of the coolest peeps ever. I absolutely  love her blog and her positivity and her music and just everything about her pretty much haha.

Kenzie- If you don't know this cutie you are missing out. I did a collab with her a couple weeks ago and I'm kind of obsessed with her. She regularly comments on my blog which always makes me happy and I've screamed at her about books and she somehow still doesn't hate me and even joins in so like, that sounds like a great human to me. 

Kristian- I met Kristian on insta and she's a super coolio blogger friend of mind. I've been talking to her a bit less lately which makes me sad but she's still super duper cool and also a really good writer?? Like she's really good?? 

Dani- Another old friend who is actually still posting!! There was one summer where I talked to Dani like every day and it was great. I found Dani when she was a little baby blogger and I like to think I maybe helped her a tiny bit haha. 

Mckenzie- I talked with Mckenzie at the same time I was close with Dani. At that time though we called them Issy and pronouns have changed multiple times it's like a whole thing haha. We all had a group chat and we talked like a lotttttt. Lots of memes and laughs and blogging talk. 

Rukiya and Noor- These are two separate people but they kind of have the same experience with me so I'm putting them together haha. Basically when I first found young bloggers it was Rukiya, Noor, and Lexie. I looked up to them a lottttttt and after some time and me being the little annoying person I am they actually started talking to me. Like what???? I know it's weird. So yeah we were friends and we talked regularly online. Noor was like low key a god in the little blogger community I was in and I thought she was so cool and all of this cool stuff went on. Then they just kind of evaporated from the face of the earth?? And it makes me sad?? Like old blogger friends please come back???  


Gray Marie- This girly regularly comments on my blog which is soooo great because not that many people comment???? Like I'm happy for all of my followers and I do get comments which I'm grateful for but I might like the people who comment a tiny bit more. Just a tiny bit. She also has an awesome cute blog that I love reading and just her general aura is so fun. 

Andrea- Andrea also comments on my blog (do you see I like people who comment??) and I love her blog. Plus she's supes funny. I was just reading the titles of her blog when I was thinking of what to say and they're so funny???? How can I make my blog posts funny?? Give me tips??? Cause I'm bad at that??? 

Lanie- UPDATE ON MY LIFE I HAVE OFFICIALLY SEEN LOVE SIMON AND LANIE IS THE ONE WHO MADE THAT HAPPEN SO LIKE SHE'S GREAT. We did a little screenshare thing cause she has the movie (may or may not have been illegal but it's fine) and I squealed like the entire time?? Probs not good?? Might have made Lanie scared because I make noise a lot?? But it's fine?? 

Vanessa- I've known Vanessa for a while actually and then I think she disappeared and came back??? Maybe??? I'm like not actually sure??? ANYWAY THOUGH she is so crazy nice and sweet and just ahhh I love her. Recently she sent me this random letter that made my day and it had some tea and was just awesome. If you ever want to make me happy just send me a random letter. I am so cool with it. 

Ann- I recently found Ann but she is so nice!! And she comments on my blog like a lot and as we have established that is the way to my heart. 

Rosie- I said this in the interview I did with her but I just think Rosie is so cool!! She comments on my blog, has a freaking amazing and so professional blog herself, and just also seems to put out coolness into the world?? I don't know??? 

Abigail- I've known abigail since the beginning era so that's like two years or something. Oh my gosh that's so weird!! She just recently started college (all of my blogging friends are leaving me for college like why must they turn into adults I don't approve) and that is so weird to me!!!! Like she was just starting high school or something!! What?? I absolutely love her posts and her writing and everything is just so good. We recently sent letters to each others and hers was supes cute and yeah Abigail is just cool. 

Olivia- Olivia is almost more of an insta friend then a blogging friend but she does have an awesome blog!! I found her on insta when I started and I love everything she puts out into the world!! Her outfits are amazing, she sometimes talks about political stuff, and she is also just soooo positive which I love so so much.    

That took me so long to write like y'all better appreciate this. If you are not on this list but also read my blog or we're friends or we just know each other somehow YOU ARE STILL SO COOL LIKE SHOUT OUT TO YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE LITTLE CRAZY HUMAN THAT I AM. I said this earlier but my blog makes me so happy and it is because of you guys. :)
