Honestly, it was just a growing app and I decided to just hop on it. I made my first few videos with my friends and they kind of just hit off, and ever since I’ve been making videos.
My real life and my TikTok life are completely separate. I feel like it doesn’t affect it in any way though. I don’t know, I don’t think about it too much, it doesn’t really matter to me. My followers mean a lot to me, but in reality it just doesn’t get to my head.
Depending on what’s going on, I’ll do trends, audios… I’ll listen to and try to figure out if there’s something I can do with them, and then it kind of just goes from there.
To not take it too seriously and to not let numbers and stuff go to your head because it can really affect you, and to just have fun.
Again, like I said, I don’t really let it get to my head. I realize that it’s just not that big of a deal. People are always going to be negative about something, so might as well just let them be negative and not let it affect you.
My favorite part about TikTok is the amount of support I get, the amount of love I get from my supporters and the enormous amount of opportunities I get, of just meeting new people, and it’s so much. It’s just so cool, the whole thing.
I definitely think it’s an important platform. It’s growing, it’s huge right now, like everyone knows about it, and I think it can really influence. TikTokers are strong, I feel like they can get anything done… Song creators can go from literally not being known to being viral, like number one… It’s just crazy how good of a platform it is, so definitely.

I still don’t even think of myself as an influencer, like I said, I just like to post videos, and I post videos to post videos. My fans mean a lot to me but I don’t let it get to my head and I don’t really think of myself as an influencer but I just do it for fun.

The latest trend I did was a TikTok dance, it was to this song. [plays song.] The last trends I’ve done have been dances, and then the other ones I’ve just made up on my own.
To not take it too seriously and to not let numbers and stuff go to your head because it can really affect you, and to just have fun.
I like to make videos with people, like with friends. Even though I don’t post too much with friends I just like making them with people. I like transition videos, I really enjoy those, those are fun. Dances too, the dances are fun.

I don’t really consider myself like, famous or viral. I don’t know, it took a while I think to get where I am, it’s taken like a year or two. But it’s still going, I’m just having fun.
