The Ticking Clock [h.s.]

Prologue

Walking through Waterloo Park is my favorite pastime. I can walk without interruption. It's a place where nobody can ever find me, unless I want to be found. This includes my friends and family along with my million of subscribers, who seem to poke their heads out at any given moment. I'm not a your typical youtuber. I feel most uncomfortable sitting in front of a camera, talking to it about my life like it is a real person. Odd, I know, but I do it because I hope that there is one person in this world that I can help with my story.

Blogging is more my speed. I find inspiration as I am taking a long walk through the park that has become my home. I know every side path and rock in the ground. I take pictures and let the surroundings create ideas for me to write about.

You may be wondering how "internet famous" I am. I hate the word "famous." It makes people seem like they aren't human when, in fact, they are. I want to be remembered for my impact on other people, not for having a title that doesn't tell you anything about the real me.

I have about 4 million YouTube subscribers that click to learn more about the newest makeup and hair trends and how to style them on themselves and even more who read my blog to get an insight of my daily London life and the newest things in the world of beauty and fashion. It doesn't seem real that I can make a life for myself centered around something that makes me so happy. Expressing my emotions and showing people different sides of my life allows me to open up to a world that hasn't always been the kindest to me.

My name is Sarah and I'm a 23 year old American living in the heart of the beautiful city of London, waiting for my clock to run out.
