Introducing . . . Me!!!

 
Blog Bash
 
As Charlotte says, Salutations! My name is Hannah and I'm a upcoming freshman at Bridgewater College. I have a crazy obsession for bows and headbands. Books and music make my world go 'round. (Favorites? The Beatles and Charlie St. Cloud) My family is crazy and chaotic and not all blood related, but they mean everything to me and then some. My dream job is to become a mother...and a business owner. And I’m determined to do whatever I can to make that dream come true!

Want to know some more quirky things about me? Check out this post!

1.) Why do you blog?

In all honesty, I was a reader of blogs first; Kelly’s Korner and Matt, Liz, and Madeline were the first two blogs that I followed daily. The real, raw emotions. The funny, laugh out loud stories. I loved them!

Then one day I thought to myself, why don’t you start your own blog? I love to write so it just came easily. I could document my life in a way that got my emotions out and shared my story. A day at a time. And then the pictures crept into the picture. And photography became a part of my every day life.

It gives me an outlet when I’ve had a bad day. A place to share a great picture or a funny story.

And the community, the community that blogging brings is unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before.

2.) What do you blog about?

Anything and every thing. My day-to-day life; the craziness of being a teen; cool crafts. Nothing is ever off limits…I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing!

3.) What do you find to be the biggest reward you get from blogging?

Going back to my first answer, the community that is created between bloggers is the biggest reward that I have found. The loyal readers you find. The connection you make between their life stories and your own.

So many of their stories have touched my life and without blogging that never would have happened. In so many ways they are a part of the person I have become today and I can never express my gratitude enough!

4.) How long have you been blogging?

I started my blog a few years ago, but I didn’t seriously start blogging until the fall of last year.

5.) Let's hear the story behind your blog title! :)

Well let’s see. It has changed a few times since I started, but my current title is here to stay!

I love Breakfast at Tiffany’s (another obsession!!) and from that stems Tiffany & Co. and these oh so beautiful necklaces that I became enamored with last fall. Keys. A journey to become myself, finding my individuality in this crazy world. Finding me. Finding the key to being me. Hence, The Key to Me was born!

 

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope to see you again on my quest to find the key to me!

And since we started with Charlotte, shall we end with her, too?? Or rather, a quote about her? It is one that I’m sure many bloggers can relate with!

 

“It is not often someone comes along that's a true friend and good writer. Charlotte was both.”

  7. I know! I can't wait to see how college goes for both of us, each on other sides of the country :)
    And yes, I understand! Haha.
    As for my writing style, my English teacher approved on some pieces and tired of it on others...too many fragments, too much style I suppose. Ha!
