Thereβs always something surreal about achieving a big goal youβve set out to accomplish. On the one hand youβre absolutely elated to have finally achieved it, but thereβs also that weird feeling of not quite knowing what to do next.Β
Today I am beyond happy to say that I achieved the biggest goal I set out to achieve when I started this blog – reaching 1000 followers. Seriously I am so happy itβs dancing around my room, throwing confetti, wanting to eat nothing but chocolate, screaming for joy sort of happy. I was so ecstatic that I actually had honey in my tea and decided, to hell with university research and upcoming exams, Iβm going to take half the day off and just relax.
And, before I talk about anything else, I wanted to say A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!!
This blog has been such a big highlight in my life, and yes itβs had itβs ups and downs. There have been times where I couldnβt be happier, looking at amazingly positive responses to posts I had no idea would be that popular, and viewer stats that made me feel I was on cloud 9. Yet, not everything is perfect. There have been times I felt like giving up and stopping, posts I had such huge hopes for that didnβt go so well, lows in readership and times when I just didnβt know if I could keep going.
I never would have made it through those hard times, or even had those great times, without all of you! The readers and bloggers who have supported me from day one. You guys are everything to me and if I had to stop this blog right now, the one thing I would take away from it is what an amazing community this is, and all the incredible friends Iβve made through the blogosphere. Just this time working on these collabs has reminded me how brilliant, loving and supportive so many bloggers are. So to all the bloggers out there who read, support, comment and just give love to this blog, and all the readers who do the same, you are all absolutely amazing. I love you all and thank you!!
Now that Iβve achieved this incredible goal though, I donβt know whatβs next. My life has changed quite a bit since I first started this blog, and Iβm not sure if my goals are still the same, or where I want to go next. I donβt know if my voice as a blogger is even still the same but I do know Iβve grown a lot and learnt a lot through this journey, and I have all of you to thank!
So, with that in mind, leaving you all with one last thank you, I wanted to ask what posts you enjoy?? What posts do you like seeing here, and what sorts of things would you like to see more of? Lastly, for all the other bloggers out there, what are your best memories of your blog, and any recent goals or huge milestones you have achieved? Letβs celebrate all the work we do together!!
Lots of love

I’m new here, so I’m not in a place to answer the question about what kind of posts I enjoy the most. (I found you from the Disney post with Maggie, and I’m also new to Maggie’s blog but a few people I’ve followed for a while follow Maggie.) But I know one thing: to answer your question about what to do now, just keep doing what you’re doing, and doing what you enjoy.
As for my blog, I’m taking a break for a month or two. My blog is a continuing story, and I haven’t written or posted an actual episode in a little over a month. This was planned; I take a break every six months in the fictional timeline, and real life is kind of chaotic right now, so having one fewer deadline is nice. My blog isn’t the kind that will get thousands of followers. But my character is now halfway to his university degree, so I guess that’s an accomplishment. π

Congrats friend for achieving the milestone of 1000 followers ππ
I’m also at the same point. A bit confused, what to do next?
Should I start writing professional blogs? Should I care about one made? How I measure my growth?
Are we powerful enough to promote positive practices in society? Our dreams are similar. We want peace and harmony. π
