Dear One Direction,

     Thank you. Thank you for an awesome five years. Thank you for creating an environment and fandom that felt like a safe zone. Thank you for the fun. Thank you.

     Whether this break is 18 months or 5 years, we are here and always will be. A fandom isn't just created for a certain period but a lifetime.

    Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the insanely ridiculous tweets that I couldn't understand half the time. Thank you for being there when others weren't.

    You know what is weird, in the past five years, there hasn't been a day where I haven't seen any of your faces. Even weirder, I am actually worried about you during this break. Get plenty of sleep and drink water. Sing loudly in the shower. Eat your favorite food. As much as this is a change for us, it is an even bigger change for you.

    Thank you for the tours. Thank you for the albums. Thank you for the photoshoots and especially thank you finally getting a snapchat.

    A break means a break. A break from all contractual related things. So go write songs for other people, heck even sing with them. Use this time to really get to know and use your talents. As fans, we know this is your break as much as it is ours. Enjoy it.

  Thank you for five amazing years that have forever changed my life. Our lives. See you when it feels right, One Direction.

XOXO

I love the Internet. Like I legit love it. If I could marry it, I probably would but I think I'm headed down the aisle with my laptop first. As much as I love it, there is always that lurking danger. Now more often than not, the person on the other side of the screen is who they say they are but still, Lifetime movies make me question everything.

Tomorrows video, as you will see, is about Internet safety. As I have a younger fan base, I feel as if it is my duty to make sure all my followers are aware of what they are doing online. Now usually, I add a bit of humor in my videos but this one had to be on a serious note.

This all really started my thought process when someone DM'ed me their phone number. Obviously, I deleted the message and asked them to only contact me on Twitter but it worried me; "How many other people did this person give their number to?" "Who are they giving their number to?" Too many questions. Clearly, I am no one's mother but I do feel protective over people I consider my Internet family.

Giving out your phone number is never a smart idea. Too many things are linked to your number and your phone. So just don't.

Most if not all "Liam Payne" or "Harry Styles" Twitter/Instagram accounts are NOT THEM! They do not have a secret account in which they follow people and such. They have their verified one, which is sometimes run by them. I don't mean to crush anyone's dreams that "Real__Liam_Payne" followed them because he didn't.

Going off of that, people with those fake accounts really make you believe it is who they say they are. And for that I am even more worried about my younger Internet family members. IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO DO SOMETHING OR SAY SOMETHING YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING, DON'T DO IT! 

Please read that over and over. I know the Internet is amazing and most people are smart about their browsing but there are still some things we hope can be safe but often aren't. You don't owe anyone on the Internet shit. Seriously, log off, block them. You have no reason to give someone who makes you feel weird a second chance.

Cyber bullying is a whole other topic I could talk about but for now, I will stick to this. Be safe. Don't give out personal information about yourself. Don't do anything you aren't comfortable with. And if you have any questions about anything. Please come to me. I am legit as you can get. I mean come on, I post selfies on Snapchat daily.

Be safe. Love the Internet (but not in a creepy way)!

Watch tomorrow's video here!

XOXO -M.S.

As you may have noticed from my instagram, you will  have seen I was on Spring Break. It was much needed and seriously so much fun! Anyway, I am pretty sure I have worn this color before but whatever, it is a beautiful color!
