I think it’s the third time I read this post but I finally leave a comment on it 🥰 I loved reading it and it makes me so happy to see how much you’ve achieved and how this blogging experience has shaped different parts of you 🥰 I remember when I first discovered your blog and then slowly learned more and more things about you 🥰 One thing is for sure: it didn’t take me a long time to appreciate you! Actually, I think it’s really hard not to appreciate you! And as for the criticism, my step-mother would say: they’re just jealous! 😂 we all have different qualities but one of the best is to be able to show them on a daily basis, and you certainly can do that 😍 Your consideration and gratefulness for the people who take the time to read your posts is always heartwarming and, I’m pretty sure, it’s what led you so far on the blogging game (yeah the quality of your posts has also something to do about it) 😘
Keep reading and sharing your thought, dear Lashaan ❤️
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Caroline! ❤ It means so much to me that you see so many good things about this blog and what it brings to me and that you accept it all with so much love. ❤ ❤ ❤ I really grew to see it as my ultimate creative outlet and it has allowed me to grow as a person in soooo many different ways!! 😀 Your step-mother is absolutely right hahahah It sucks that some people only see through such dark shades and can't help but share their negativity with others for no good reason at all. Thank YOU for finding this blog and for now being the most important part of my life too. ❤ You truly are the best, most supportive, and most special person in the world! 😀 ❤
I am so, so, so very late to this, but happy 5 years of blogging! This is such a great milestone and I’m thrilled you found so much joy and love in what you’re doing here ❤ ❤ ❤
Well, I missed this deadline! During this period, I had been slogging through tight deadlines at work and then going out of town to pack and move my parents from one place to another and then recovering from all the previous hard work. It’s been incredible for me as well. I think we started about by the same time of blogging. April 2015 — I started posting every day and spending time on short stories, etc. Similar to your experience with time issues, I found myself cutting back as the novelty of blogging started wearing off and my reason for doing it in the first place got lost in the shuffle of my priorities. Happy Blogging!!
Aw man. I’d have loved to include you in the giveaway too! Oh snap, that sounds really hectic and heavy on the psyche. I hope you’ve been able to replenish yourself lately and that you’re doing much better now too. Do you plan on going back to your roots, doing it all again for the “right” reasons or will you be taking it slowly for the time being? Stay safe, Karina! 🙂
Aww…I’m sorry I missed this. Not for the give away, but to congratulate you. Five years of blogging is one heck of an achievement!😊 So well, I guess it’s belated concratulations from me 😊 I’m still very glad I ran across your blog all those years ago, and haven’t regretted it for a single second! I hope your blogging career will continue for many more years to come and I plan to stick around for however long that will be😃
Don’t worry about it! It’s already big that you took the time to visit this post, my friend! I too am really glad that we crossed paths and got to connect through our blogs! It’s always nice to have such a cool guy to geek about everything and anything! 😀 Thanks, man. Here’s to many years of blogging and interacting together! 😀
