Howdy! As you all know, I am a word girl through and through and writing on my blog is my favorite form of content creating. I begrudgingly scroll through Facebook and very rarely watch videos because I just don’t want to lol. This sentiment remains even though I have a TikTok now! The only videos I watch are the ones my best friend posts and that is all I need! Although I don’t care to watch videos, I have learned that making them is kind of fun and have enjoyed making daily content for my TikTok for the past year and change. My expectations for my TikTok is negative zero but I do feel pretty proud of it as I am not a video girl whatsoever. Which is why I am pleased to report that I just had a 10K come up!

During my last TikTok check in in February, I had 27K likes and gained 10K more in the past half a year. Is 37K likes an outrageous amount? Not in the slightest. Is my self worth based on the number of likes I get? Only slightly. Lol, I kid!! But, hey, I think it’s cool and that’s all that matters. Yes, my videos get like three hundred views. No, I am not a Spielberg level content creator. However, making TikToks just opens up another pathway to be creative in social media and that it what I like the best! My TikTok is essentially just an extension of my blog and it’s exciting to introduce lifewithlilred to potential new viewers.

Starting my TikTok was such a spur of the moment thing that took me far outside of my comfort zone which is why it’s important to me to celebrate big milestones. I definitely consider this 10K increase to be one! Somewhere out there are three hundred people taking the time to watch my subpar videos and, to me, that’s meaningful. My blog started with the mission of making new friends and I feel the same way about my TikTok page. In the great big void of constant video uploads, there could be a new friend, a new reader, or someone simply just passing by. My videos are a little glimpse into Lil Red’s world just like my blog is and I SO appreciate any and all love for it. ❤

50K TikTok likes is my next goal and I am going to be elated when that happens. Stop by my TikTok to help me reach it!
