Why I Vlog
Gianna Beasley

As I launch my YouTube channel this week, a question I've gotten from a lot of people is: why are you vlogging? Well the answer is pretty simple... I'm vlogging for myself.

I strongly believe that everyone is put on this earth because we all have something different to say. Some people go through horrific things in life but then are given the opportunity to take that experience and help others. Other people take their family, job, or school experiences and use those to help other people. I believe that there is merit to what I have to say and there's nothing more that I enjoy than helping other people so if my vlogs can help or inspire even one person, that's more than enough for me.

Outside of vlogging with the hopes of helping or inspiring others, I'm using it as a tool to document my life and my progress. Whether that be vlogs of my travels or vlogs of my fitness journey.

When I first started talking about starting my own YouTube channel and vlogging my life, there was a lot of criticism and not a lot of support. People would say to me "why would you do that? You don't have thousands of followers." Well I don't care about the followers! Sure, I would like to reach as many people as possible with my vlogs but at the same time I'm not going to obsess over the number of people who subscribe to my channel or watch my vlogs. If people want to watch them, great! If people don't care or want to watch, that's their choice! All I know is I'm excited to share my passions and life with those who want to see it.

So without boring you for too much longer... basically what I'm saying here is that I'm vlogging now with the hopes of sharing my unique experiences in hopes that you can enjoy them and learn from them too. Everyday holds new adventures and opportunities and my goal is to be as transparent as possible with everything that I go through! My journey of vlogging is just beginning and I can't wait to see where it will take me in the future. There will be highs and there will be lows, but everyday and every obstacle that's thrown my way will make me a better and stronger person!

If you feel so inclined to start this journey with me and keep up with my travels and fitness adventures, follow me on social media (@giannabeas) and subscribe to my Youtube channel to make sure you don't miss a video! My YouTube channel can be found here. I hope you all join me on this journey and enjoy my sometimes awkward and usually clumsy self! Let me know if you're joining me on my journey!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
