As a junk journal maker in the vast world of Youtube, I can't help but admire all the other creators with their beautiful, exotic foreign voices. They effortlessly flip through their lovingly crafted journals, their accents adding an extra layer of charm and sophistication to their videos.
And then there's me, with my American southern drawl. I swear, every time I open my mouth to speak on camera, I half expect a banjo to start playing in the background. Don't get me wrong, I love my accent and wouldn't trade it for the world, but compared to the melodic sound of a French or Italian accent, I sometimes feel like I'm the odd one out in the junk journal community.
I mean, picture this: I'm fawning over a beautifully stitched journal cover, gushing about the vintage ephemera I found at a thrift store, and all the while my words are punctuated by "y'alls" and "bless your hearts." It's like watching a country bumpkin trying to navigate the high society of junk journaling.
But hey, I embrace my southern roots and my twangy drawl. It just adds a touch of uniqueness to my videos, right? Who needs a fancy foreign accent when you've got the charm of good ol' Southern folk?
So, to all my fellow junk journal makers with their exotic voices, I may not sound as sophisticated or refined, but I'll keep on crafting and creating in my own southern way. And hey, maybe one day my drawl will be just as coveted as a French accent in the junk journaling world. In the meantime, y'all keep on keepin' on, and I'll do the same with a sweet tea in hand, a smile on my face, and a large pinch of admiration in my heart for what you do. Happy journaling, y'all!
