What I Learned From My First Year Of Blogging

I started this weblog i yr agone today, on Jan 3rd, 2012. I began amongst this really simple post. Along the class of a year, I learned hence much nearly myself; much to a greater extent than than I would accept ever expected. So, inwards celebration of my initiatory of all blogiversary, I'm only going to portion a picayune of what I learned inwards the past times year, as well as hence acquire out you lot amongst a twain of my favorite posts. Not necessarily the most pop posts I've done (I shared those here earlier), but only my personal favorites.

So, what did I learn?

Here are the run past times 5.

1. I learned to believe inwards myself. No thing what. There are enough of people who volition tell you lot you can't do something or that you lot shouldn't. Choose to ignore the naysayers. Instead, environs yourself amongst those who mean value you lot can. Blogging has taught me to apply this same regulation to every expression of my life.

2. I learned people are good. There are hence many kind, supportive, generous, as well as appreciative people out there. I never expected for people to hold upwards hence nice. I fully expected to seat on my crash helmet as well as brace for impact. But the hateful comments never came. Quite the opposite happened. I met hence many amazing readers who really appreciated what I did, as well as were ever hence sweetness as well as supportive of my (sometimes failed) attempts to hotglue materials together. As of this day, in that place are tons of readers that I really know past times mention because of their constant support.  

3. I learned to hold upwards myself. The initiatory of all four months of my blogging were a hot mess. It took me awhile to notice my ain style. My decorating was sometimes bad, as well as my writing was oftentimes bad, too. I spent a lot of fourth dimension learning as well as improving. Eventually, I kinda institute my vocalization as well as realized that no thing what, the learning volition never stop. 

4. I've learned that you lot accept to start somewhere. It's hence tardily to acquire overwhelmed past times life's imperfections. But things volition never hold upwards perfect. Start where you lot are, as well as brand the best of what you lot have. 


5. Don't compare your showtime to someone else's middle or end. I learned that this is my journey, as well as the solely somebody I involve to compare myself to is the somebody I was yesterday. Everyone's path volition hold upwards different.

And now, before I go, I'll acquire out you lot amongst my favorite posts from the year. These posts aren't the most beautiful, or fifty-fifty eloquent. They're only the ones where I portion my life, as well as mayhap a funny storey or two.
