Sometimes I feel like this little blog of mine is a total failure.
When Facebook only chooses to show the piece of writing I am incredibly proud of, have re-read and proofed probably seven times before publishing which took I don’t even recall how much time to 151 people which results in only 60 clicks and three likes, I feel like I should just give up.
I then remember why I started this in the first place.
I wrote this back in 2013 on this post here. It was one point of three. The only one that is still valid to the life I live today.
“Because I want to! As I said before I follow a lot of blogs and I find them interesting & inspiring. I’m not a great writer so I apologise in advance for the shocking grammar, spelling and incredibly long sentences – I write like I talk, a lot. I’m not overly interesting but I have a great life that I believe is worth recording. I am probably the most sentimental person you’ll meet and I love the thought of being able to look back on this exact post in 5 years and remember where I came from and how far i’ve come. Mainly I just want to make sure I remember the small things. That’s what it’s all about. Yeah, some people may think i’m weird and some people may not give a toss about anything that i’ll put on here but that’s okay because i’m not doing this for anyone, i’m doing it for me.”
Emphasis on those five words.
I’m doing it for me.
This is my personal yet public diary that as of a few weeks ago two thousand of you will have read, I am assuming, at least once.
*does a little dance in celebration of 2k likes on my Facebook Page*
I love writing. I love taking pictures. I love that, again with the assumptions, you love what i’m sharing.
Yes it’s disheartening when Facebook’s algorithms work against me and basically force me to pay for a.k.a boost anything I really want you guys to see. It’s frustrating when I don’t reach the goals i’ve set by when I would have liked to. It’s heartbreaking when I get zero response when i’ve really put effort into something.
I have to learn to remember that good things take time, these things can’t be forced & everything will happen when it’s supposed to.
My goal is to turn this little dream of mine into some sort of career and I have so many ideas to help me reach that in the next year. You’re going to be sick of me by the end of it (jokes, I hope it’s the opposite)
I want to thank all of you who do read these on the regular. You make it feel worth it! Please make sure you interact and introduce yourselves, I want to get to know all of you too!
I am so excited about the fact that my hard work seems to be paying off & that you’re all coming along for the ride!
