Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you all a 'music video' that I made recently to Katy Perry's new song "Part of Me".
When I first heard this song, I felt I could really relate to it with mermaid/fairy/princess journey. When I first became a mermaid, I was ridiculed constantly by strangers and close friends. Heck, I even lost a few friends because they thought I was a freak. This video features some of things said to me by strangers on the internet and even some things posted on my personal Facebook by close friends.
But I overcame all of that negativity and look where I am today :) I would not be where I am without the people who DID support me from day one and the fans on my Facebook page and YouTube channel. This video also features tons of their comments.
Today I run a successful and growing business, Characters By Caroline (http://www.CharactersByCaroline.com), where I provide everything from birthday party entertainment to choreographed mermaid shows to wherever people can imagine. If I had let all the negativity and hate from the beginning get to me... I have no idea where I would be now or if I would be anywhere near as happy as I am now.
So anyway, I wanted to share it with you all because I know each and everyone one of us has faced some serious negativity before. I just wanted to say, don't ever give up on your dreams because they CAN come true.
Happy splashes,
Caroline the Mermaid
