I'm an introvert and mostly a home-body. As a kid, everyone said I was shy. I was not popular at school and when I became unexpectedly pregnant at a relatively young age, I felt like a bit of an outcast. So how did I create the healthy and vibrant community of friends I have now?

In 2015, I discovered I was pregnant with my daughter, Ziya. But I was not trying for a baby, and I wasn't happy in my relationship with her father.

Some people seem to think I'm this perfect virgo girl living in my perfect virgo world. Maybe I seem really put together from a certain perspective? But I'm far from perfect.

The pressures of social media and the proven family-formula for success as a lifestyle vlogger...really starts to make it seem like there's only a few options for me as a creator now. If you want to make it big-time in this particular niche, do you have to share a blooming relationship, a wedding, a pregnancy, or a new home? Will my vlogs ever truly compare if I'm just coasting as a single woman? Some viewers may disagree with the "formula", but the numbers don't lie. So what does this mean for me?
