Scarborough | 'Ad' | I'm NOT Disordered

It's crazy to think that I've been a Bloggers for over three years! It's only been during this time that I've discovered other Bloggers and YouTubers who I'm now inspired by. Particularly this year, I've noticed a lot of the negativity that surrounds these people; firstly, there is the media imaging their own front page news, second is the saddest bit; the negativity and competitiveness among fellow Bloggers and YouTubers, and finally, the 'loyal' readers that voice (very loudly) particular opinions on your work ethic and decisions.
Recently, I went on my mini-break to Scarborough and Zoella holiday-ed in Mykonos. And SO many of her followers took to the comments section on her Instagram holiday snaps and declared their conviction that Bloggers and YouTubers, should not take a holiday if it affects their usual uploading (videos or posts) routine. Apparently YouTube and Blogs are now seen as a person's 'job' and many people used the pointless comparison of how 'a firefighter can't take time off work.' And although my success and that of Zoella's are (obviously) on completely different levels, I 100% agree with her response to these comments; it starts out as fun and a hobby but then your following grows and you begin being offered more professional - and perhaps more serious and time consuming - opportunities. You don't start a Blog or YouTube Channel with the mindset that you're entering a career.
And so.... I took a break to Scarborough to see some prettier sights, and for a break from 'work' stuff; I love my blog and the opportunities that come from it, but just like any 'job', I need 'time off.' And so I told myself that I could only use my iPad and iPhone for photos and vlogging during the day; then at night I edited my photos, but ignored the three digits that became attached to my inbox icon, and the two digits for my Twitter and Facebook accounts.
