Thank YOU!

Often times in life we are so focused on reaching the end goal that we forget to celebrate the small wins we have on the way there. This often means that we lose motivation along the way and often feel like we are stuck in one position and that we are going nowhere fast.

Having started this blog as a means to let everyone back home know that I was doing alright, my focus evolved into using this platform to inspire at least one person to take the step towards making their travelling dreams a reality. The thing is with being a young blogger, one is always bombarded with information on how to quickly grow your following, how to get sponsors or how to improve your aesthetics. 

I won’t lie, I got sucked into this and began panicking at what I perceived as low readership statistics and my lack of a proper website. I enjoyed writing but all this other stuff was adding unnecessary stress and anxiety.

I soon realised that I was losing focus and that I was missing the progress that I was making with this blog.

Not only do I have many amazing readers but I have a support system of people who are genuinely interested in my well-being and want to offer a word of encouragement where they can.

I have superheroes who share my blog posts on their own platforms and force their friends to read my experiences.

And most importantly, I have those who send me messages sharing how my blog has helped them with something that they were struggling through.

I have come to realise that that is what is important, the community of readers who came back week after week to hear what is on my heart.

And so this week I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate two things, actually, make that three.

More than 100 people reading the posts each week.

And on top of that, two posts have received over 300 views. What?! This is from all the shares and reposts from you guys on your social media accounts. Thank you so much!

I have been here for almost 5 months.

Can you believe how quickly time flies? Just the other day I arrived and now I’m 10 days away from celebrating my 5 month-a-versary. I must say, the amount of growth and self-awareness that I have experienced in these months has been tremendous.

YOU, yes YOU, the realest MVPs!

Most importantly, I would like to celebrate all of YOU who read this blog every week. Your support has really helped me and encouraged me when I thought of throwing in the towel and heading back home. Your messages of support, quick check-ins and comments really mean a lot to me. During this World Cup, I learnt an acronym that I wish to use here because it is so appropriate.

YOU are the G.O.A.T**!!!

Thank you, thank you for your love and support. Have a great week ahead❤❤❤

FYI: **Greatest of all time.
