I am not who you think I am - looking back on four years of growth
The "CottageFairy" who started this channel is verrrry different from the "CottageFairy" who is here now, and I think that's a very good thing! I was not able to apply the ideals I wanted when I started this channel, I only knew how to chat about it online and yet unable to really apply it. Now, I am happy to say I'm the person I've wanted to be, and I think it's because youtube - in some ways - has raked me over the coals and really forced me to change in order to recover from severe anxiety and learn how to take care of myself (and be my friend instead of my worst critic).
