Social Media Handle/Username: Instagram – kathrynbradlley

Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: My name is Kathryn. I am 18 years old. I live in a small beach town with an extreme amount of tourists in the summer. I have grown up in this town my whole life and am currently finish my senior year. I work 5 days a week currently and I aspire to travel soon

What Inspires You Every day? : My family. Everyone not just one in particular when you grow and age with people throughout the years you can spot their changes. I think that would be one of my biggest inspirations seeing how far people I love have come in life.

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: Life goes on. In my head that means that no matter how hard things get, what you’re going through, who you’re losing. Life has to go on. You can’t stop for anyone because the world doesn’t stop for us. You have to want to change and progress in life to get anywhere. You should never let one thing bring you to a point you feel like a failure.

What is your ultimate goal in life? : To make the world better and help everyone see their true beauty; whether that’s internal or external. I feel like no one sees themselves the way others do. For example I feel like all my friends are beautiful in their own ways. They all have a great personality differing between each friend. I want to be able to show everyone how appreciated they are and live the life they aspire to. I want to travel and see the world and experience many different cultures and educate myself to the fullest.

What are your thoughts on people who seek attention on social media, and what message would you like to give them? : Social media is fake. You should never try and seek attention from anyone or anything. You should allow them to see you for who you are and if they don’t accept it. Move along with life.

How would you help people around the world who are going through mental health problems? : I would tell them to write what they are feeling. The things that make the happy, cry, scream, aggravate them. Write as much as you can think in a piece of paper and then burn it. Because at the end of the day all the insecurities and the anxiety you hold is a myth. You are the only one around you that cares about the little things you may feel are so important. People living their everyday lives are too worried about themselves to worry about what you have going on. Spend time alone doing things you wouldn’t imagine you doing. You are your own best friend for life.

How would you describe a better world for us all? : A world where differences don’t matter. Your skin color, texture, height, weight, none of that should matter because at the end of the day we are all the same. We should all be treated with respect, until that is lost. We should try and find the best in everything instead of saying I hate going to work, say I am thankful that I am able to work and be able to provide for myself. Your mindset will eventually become your personality.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: I hope one day everyone can realize that they are the center of their own universe and they should continually appreciate the life they are given and if they don’t. Then time to make a change.
