In 2020, I started this website. I remember it quite well. It took me a couple weeks to get the color scheme figured out, and a couple pages uploaded. I typed up a couple posts right away so the site would have some content. I was trying to make it perfect, but keep it simple since I easily get confused with computer stuff. Plus, I wanted everything to sound right. Then, I accidentally hit publish. I was putting it off, and convincing myself it wasn’t ready when it was as ready as it’ll ever be. I was trying to save a post when I hit the publish button by mistake and my website went live. That was probably the best way for me to do it, honestly. If I didn’t publish by accident, I probably would’ve kept putting it off.
Fast forward to today and I’ve posted over 300 blogposts on the website (or webposts as I like to call them because I’m not a fan of the word “blog”). Two posts. Every week. I can hardly believe I’ve been able to keep up with it. Makes me a little proud when I think about it. Sure. I don’t think all the content is great, but consistency is what counts, right?
The sad thing is, I missed the 300 mark. I just happened to look at the count the other day and realized I was over 300 posts. The other sad thing is that I don’t remember all of my posts. I usually write one up, get it posted, and move on without a second thought to it. So, when I scroll back through all 300+, I often spot a title I don’t remember. I’ll read it over again and think: “huh, that’s actually pretty good.”
I think the best and funniest part about having this website is that I often forget people read it. Don’t get me wrong, I want to rack up those website views and likes to help build my platform. But, when someone I know tells me they liked something on the site or makes a comment about it, it takes me aback. I even find myself wondering how could they possibly know this thing they read on my website as if my website wasn’t out there for all the world to see. As of when I’m writing this, I have 81 subscribers, and I’m grateful for every single one of you.
It’s been an interesting journey with this website and I don’t want it to be over any time soon. I may have missed post 300, but there’s plenty more to come.
Thank you to all of you who support this website. You help make a dream come true.
