In the name of 'Friendship' [COMPLETED]

19: Had to end

"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life."
~ J.K. Rowling

Being different is being alive. This does sound dramatic but fashion blogging is really difficult and requires a lot of hardwork. I want to be different from the other bloggers out there. I hired a professional graphic designer to help me purchase a WordPress theme and design the logo for my blog. The views on my WordPress blog have increased recently but I want to be the best. I was finding ways to depict it to my viewers that why I was different from the rest so that I don't get lost in all the noise. There are millions of bloggers out there so I had to work my brain very hard for the best results and to come up with something new which I've never seen any other blogger do.
I was developing my network by making friends with my readers, viewers and even the small brands with whom I've collaborated. My mailing list was growing at a slow pace but I was happy with it. I had to make sure to be the best for the big cats to notice me.

The best post would be something about changing a person's life. Just like Derek changed mine, I wanted to change someone else's. I took up body shaming as one topic in order to make people aware that this blog is not just for skinny or curvy people but for everyone. Writing about that would make atleast one person feel better about herself, even if for a day then that means I've succeeded.

My plan of action for this month was ready. I have to come up with new strategies, look at my competitors and try to be more unique and better than them, connect with people to create an impact and make difference on how I was being perceived.

It was draining my brain as the best content required a lot of research, time, edit and perfect. I could barely sleep for five hours. The routine was a little hectic but since I enjoyed blogging, it wasn't much of a problem.
I would see Elena and Derek everyday. Rohit, Jacob, Charlotte and Ashton would keep visiting the café when they're free or else we would go somewhere nearby for dinner or meet at a dessert parlour at night.
Nathan was taking me on a date tonight. He told me it wasn't anything fancy. Just for a movie and then we'll go to a restaurant for dinner. I was more than happy with it. He was cute but I wasn't sure if he's the one. I hope you get that logic.

"Hello." Elena snapped her fingers to get my attention.

"Say."

"You have a date tonight right?"

"Yes."

"Wear something nice." She narrowed her eyes at me making me roll my eyes.

"We're going for a movie, El."

"So what? Atleast give that guy a little action after this date." She smirked.

"I don't think I'm ready for that."

"I'm not asking you to have sex but definitely try something else." She winked and left to continue with her work leaving me all confused.

After my shift, I went back to my appartment and quickly showered and changed into my outfit for the night. I was going to implement on some new styles. I went for a little bohemian vibe tonight. I wore tribal printed palazzo pants along with a black choker neck crop top and topped the look by adding a pair of golden hoop earings, black flats and a black sling. It wasn't a risky outfit as such but it was differen from my personal style.
My phone beeped.
*Be there in 5 minutes* Nathan sent.

I was ready before time, for a change.

"Hey." He greeted as soon as I opened the door.
"You look different." He said eyeing me up and down.
