One Year
WOW!!!! I am just amazed! Today marks exactly one year of the blog and I have learned SO SO much! Since there are so many things I have learned, I wanted to share a few of them with you! There are so many, so I'm going to try to keep it short.
PATIENCE- This one came in waves. At the beginning, it was pretty easy because I was posting almost once a week and I had fresh ideas and I wrote like three articles at a time. But as I went on, I went back to school and I had other things I needed to do, the ideas didn't come so quickly. I was struggling when it came to having a lot to say about the specific topic. There were many times I had to remind myself that I knew this wasn't going to be easy and I would just have to stay PATIENT with myself. I also had to stay patient with the audience I was wanting to reach. I knew at the very beginning that there wasn't going to be a lot of people that wanted to read my blog or even care to look at it. I made a point to always remind myself that there wasn't a good enough reason to get upset when people didn't read my article or look at my blog. I have learned to be patient this year.
EXCITEMENT- Now you’re probably thinking ‘how can I learn excitement?’ Well this one is more of a realization. At the very beginning, I was SO excited to see where the blog was going to take me and how many articles I could write. As I continued going along life, writing an article when I could and posting it when I wanted to, I got to feel pure excitement every time I wrote. I was giddy to see if I could learn something new. I found something that makes me excited every time I think about it. Pure excitement is such a great feeling.
AUTOCORRECT- One really big thing I learned while writing is that most of the time, autocorrect doesn’t fix my spelling errors. Quick tip- always let your mom read your articles before you post them. I never knew there were so many ways to misspell the same word over and over again.
Always remember that you look good in what you believe you look good in. It doesn't matter what other people say about you or your outfit. Your clothes don't make you who you are!!!
with love always,
