30 Things I've Learnt In 12 Years Of Blogging

October 3rd will be my blog's 12th Birthday! My little corner of the internet has been churning out content for a whole 4380 + days now! I still can't believe I done it for a year, let alone TWELVE.

And let's just ignore the fact that I had a few breaks sporadically

Usually I look back on my blog headers since day one, but I feel I've done that too much! So today, I'm going to share some things I've learnt about this blogging shit in my twelve years!

Buckle up, there's a few!

1. It is very hard work
2. You will want to quit at some point, but never do it
3. You will have times you don't feel good enough
4. It's perfectly fine to take a blogging break
5. And no, you don't have to justify having one! We have breaks from our 'real jobs' all the time - so why is it different with blogging?
6. You can write about whatever the heck you like
7. No, you don't have to be a master photoshopper, or professional photographer
8. You will, however, pick up amazing photography skills, and master the art of picture editing (hey there Canva!)
9. Typing becomes second nature
10. You'll even learn basic HTML if you customise your blog enough times!
11. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO BROKE TO BLOG
12. You will meet some truly amazing people
13. Other people mentioning your blog makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside
14. You'll know other bloggers by their blog name/instagram handle, more than their actual names
15. You do not have to go to blogger meet ups if you do not want to
16. Blogging shouldn't feel like a chore, but at times... it does
17. Comparing your blog to {insert epic blog name} will make you feel like crap
18. You will always feel proud of your blog no matter what
19. Comments on your blog make you smile so much
20. Commenting on other blogs makes you smile too!
21. Explaining your blog to your parents can be so stressful
22. If you want to do a fashion post and don't possess a tripod, a sibling/friend is always handy! (Thank you to my sibster for helping all those years back!)
23. When a company wants to collab with you, you will end up getting far too excited.
24. Especially when it's a cake company!
25. But not if it's some random company from China offering you $5 for 5 hours of blog work
26. Blog about what you're passionate about - it makes for the best posts
27. You will find so many amazing Disney bloggers sharing tips about Disney World! 
28. Not everyone is going to want to read your blog - but that's totally fine, and you'll love the people who do read it, even more. 
29. You'll always worry about copyright issues
30. A filler post such as a tag or playlist is perfectly fine if you're rushed for time

So, happy belated blog birthday to me! 

I'd love to know how long you've been blogging for and if you have anything else to add to this list! If you do, let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
