Nine Years Of Blogging Down- An Eternity To Go

Nine Years Of Blogging Down- An Eternity To Go

I got this little notification the other day and was happy to see it. This means that I have officially been blogging for nine whole years on WordPress. I think blogging is my favourite thing, I’m so glad I started blogging. I would honestly have been so lost without it.

Blogging has allowed me to work from home and allowed me to write and publish my first book. And hopefully many more in the future. And most importantly, blogging helped me find a place where I belong. A place where I don’t have to hide my real self to fit in. A place where people accept us for who we are. This community really blows my mind and is very much an example of wonderful place the internet could be if we were more kind to one another.

When I first started blogging, I was very lost and felt alone in the world. I wasn’t happy, I didn’t know who I was and I certainly did not love myself as I do now. But in so many ways, Lifesfinewhine helped me find who I am. It helped me be the person I always wanted to be and I am forever grateful for that. And I am so grateful for the support I have received from all of you. It has been an overwhelmingly positive experience.

I always share the first post I ever wrote on anniversary posts. It’s so different from what I share now but it’s fun to look back and see how much this site has evolved.

  1. I’ve been blogging admittedly intermittently at times, since 2016 I think. You would have been far more consistent than me Pooja, well done on this achievement.

    1. Thanks so much. I wasn’t too consistent before but have been for the last few years.

      1. You have been excellent Pooja and it makes a difference. I’m trying for more consistency at least if not every day then within a weekly context for my blog.

  2. Congrats! I hope I can achieve similar longevity with blogging.

    1. Thank you and I hope you can achieve it.

  3. A hearty congrats, Pooja! I started blogging in 2016, however, I’ve lost and deleted several posts since then, plus I self-hosted for a while and have since returned to WP.com.
    Have you ever accessed your blog on the Wayback Machine? I found it very interesting to see how my blog appeared and what I wrote in my early blogging years.
    I was into blogger awards such as The Sunshine Blogger Award and others. I actually set up an Awards category just recently since I feel it is part of the history of my blog. I was only able to display the badges because the older posts were full of broken links, and many had errors and I couldn’t recover them.
    Like you, blogging is the best thing I did to find myself, plus the WordPress community makes it all so worthwhile.
    Happy blogging, my cherished blogging friend. ❣️

    1. Thank you so much! I went self-hosted for a bit too and lost some content because of that too. And my original domain name.
      Oh, I remember those awards. They were actually so fun to share, I don’t know why no one does them anymore.
      WordPress is definitely an awesome community. Happy blogging 😊

      1. I got my original domain back after a year. I guess the awards became too time-consuming, and bloggers got tired of them. After a while, I made my blog award free and created a widget which isn’t necessary now.😊

        1. Yeah, I think it got to a point where there were just too many nominations and we couldn’t keep up with them.

          1. I agree.😉

  4. You started very young. I started very late. It is certainly an interesting experience and I love your blog. Congratulations on your 9th anniversary.

    1. Yes, I was just a teenager finishing high school back then. Even though you started later, it’s better late than never. Thank you so much.

  5. Congratulations, Pooja! A fine accomplishment, I look forward to seeing you in my inbox. Be well. ❤️😊

    1. Thank you, so glad we met through blogging! ❤️☺️

      1. Me too. 😊😊😊😊

  6. Congrats!

  7. …and we love the fact that you are still here, sharing with us little snippets of what’s going on in that little brain of yours. I believe I am into my 12th year, that said I haven’t been very regular all along. Congratulations Pooja

    1. Thank you so much. Wow, 12 years is very impressive too.

  8. What a milestone! Congratulations 🎊

    1. Thank you so much! ☺️

  9. Congratulations on your achievement Pooja.

    1. Thank you so much.

  10. Congratulations! Almost at that 10-Year mark! 🥳🎊🎉

    1. Thank you so much, yes almost a decade! 💕😊

      1. Yaaasss! You’re most welcome! I remember when I got my 10-year mark. That was so long ago now, though. Enjoy it to the fullest, Pooja! I purchased your book today as well. 💙❤️💜

        1. Thank you, I really hope you enjoy the book! 😊
          The ten year mark is so special, I’m excited to join that club next year 💕

          1. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

  11. Congratulations dear!!

    Best wishes

    9 years is wow
    You are old now 👅

    1. Thank you so much, lol yes I’ve been whining for a long time 😅

  12. Congratulations Pooja 🎊

    1. Thank you ☺️

  13. Happy anniversary!

    1. Thank you so much!

      1. You’re welcome!

  14. Happy blogiversary Pooja!💐🥂🍾

    1. Thank you so much ☺️

  15. I add my congratulations on your blogging anniversary. I’m delighted the blog has been a way for you to evolve in both interest and expression. That your sense of self has grown and become more satisfying is fantastic. Your interaction through the blog I think is skillful, and I imagine that has grown as well. And you have a book and so many more well-formed words to share of profound thought and feeling. My students used to say they liked my writing because it came across as authentic. I think your narrative voice especially does the same. To say the least, keep going, Pooja!

    1. Thank you so much. It’s been quite a journey with blogging and I am very grateful for it. I’m so glad my writing comes off as authentic, I try my best to be real when I write.
