Blogging has taught me about community.
I grew up with Myspace, Xanga, and Facebook. I grew up with virtual friends – but none of them ever became as important to me as the WordPress community is. There are people who have amazing advice here and there are people who benefit from my advice. It is a constant give and take, full of appreciation.
Blogging has taught me about passion projects.
There will always be work and school, but you need something outside your day to day responsibilities to keep you motivated. Writing makes me happy, this community helps me grow, and other people’s blogs teach me more than the things I learn in school or in the workplace.
Blogging has taught me that most things in life take hard work and time.
I didn’t see any successes in Hookup Culture until about a year ago even though I’m a couple years in. I learned how to be better and when I slack, I see my hard work drop in stats. This is important to me now so putting in the work and finding the time is important to me.
Blogging has taught me to celebrate small successes.
Every single person you reach is as great as every ten people you reach.
Blogging has taught me I can make an impact.
Even if it’s small, even if I’m not changing the world. I get emails and comments where people sympathize with my situations or needed to hear what I had to say. I want to help, even if it’s just one person at a time.
Blogging has taught me to embrace myself.
Support yourself, be proud of yourself, be your own number one fan. Everything else will fall into place once you start believing in everything you can do.

Great post my friend. I think bloggers are special. As a community they are patient, thoughtful, slower to anger and more open to new ideas and opportunities.

WordPress is definitely for me too. I gave up on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I feel I am home here due to my love of words and photos. I did try and use wP years ago but it was very complicated (or it was to me). Now it is easy. Maybe they heard my complaint 🙂

Wonderful musings, just came across your site and love it!
If you get a chance, take a peek at my blog, which is basically my diary from 1989, when I was your age! You might even see some similarities!
