I'm finally going to post about this so I won't have to personally tell everyone the complicated story over & over & every single time I explain it I still get a million questions asked so since it's easier for me to rant on this blog I'm just going to explain here what really happened to my original Twitter account which I had for 6 years & had over 4,000 followers on.
I very much cherished that Twitter account because it had 6 years of memories documented & I had a bunch of celebrity follows on it & I was almost "twitter famous" in a way which was a super cool feeling & title to have for a few years. It definitely made me feel like I was important throughout my high school years like I didn't think of that of myself already as the positive & confident person I am.
I spent a bunch of my time on Twitter & I went out every now & then but my Twitter account was my main priority & something I valued a lot. I had so much fun tweeting about my favorite music artists, concert experiences, & stuff in that fun matter. I was never a "fan account" but there was times where I would tweet like one.
Back in January 2016 I had discovered how to make threads & I basically made music threads of throwbacks & my current favorite songs & as a music lover that was the coolest thing ever. Little did I know it was gonna cause me my twitter account I had valued, cherished, & loved for so long. In August 2016 was the first time my twitter account got suspended for copyright.
I knew right away it was from my threads & I should've seen it coming from the copyright notices I was getting on some of the posts but my dumb self didn't even think about it. I sent in so many messages for a week straight begging the twitter corporation to give me my account back because I'm not going to lie I was super dramatic & thought I had lost everything.
A week later Twitter had restored my account & I learned my lesson & deleted the tweets that were reported for copyright which was hard for me because these threads got hundreds of retweets & they were literally all over people's timelines for months. It honestly made me so sad that I couldn't do threads anymore because I had enjoyed doing them so much.
I had my Twitter back & didnt do any threads for like 5 months & then bam 5 months later my account got suspended again for the thread posts I didn't delete. Those had also gotten reported for copyright & I fought so hard for like 2 months to get it back but after a while I had started to give up on that.
Of course I was devastated the second time around my account getting suspended but it made me realize that I had to grow up & let that little part of my life go & honestly I was so busy working & I had a lot going on in my life at that point that I had to focus more on adulting than be on Twitter 24/7 which was for the best.
I was probably most devastated about losing my celebrity notices & follows that I had worked so hard for & spammed everyone's timelines for but honestly those were temporary things & I have most of the screenshots of my most "important" celebrity notices that they haven't been completely taken away from me.
The 4,000 followers I had worked 6 years to get were gone as well but honestly I don't need 4,000 followers to complete me. If I have connections to my close friends, family, & favorite celebrities/retail brands that's all I really care about. Having a lot of followers shouldn't be a main priority in your life.
But most importantly it taught me that I had to grow up & it gave me the opportunity to start fresh & create a new brand for myself almost. I am still that really happy girl who loves music & now I even express more of my love for makeup & fashion than I ever did on my old account plus I also decided to stay low & not everyone needs to know what I'm doing 24/7 & know every single detail of my life. That's such a middle school/high school thing. Yes some people will always remember me as that crazy fan girl who spammed everyone's timelines trying to get noticed by famous people but truth is I've grown up. Twitter is still an important part of my life it's just not a main priority for me anymore like it was back when I was Jessnicole1997.
