Dear Readers,
I will never forget the moment that I started blogging, a moment that would change my life forever . After graduating from university the month before, I felt empty and lost, like my life had no real purpose. It was nothing to do with ‘finding a career’ type hopelessness but the feeling of being alone. Despite living with friends, uni had come to an end and I knew that sooner or later we would love on with our lives and be connected only by a slim link, while being pulled into alternate worlds where education ceases to exist. We had officially become adults and for many it was a time of ‘excitement’ but for me I felt different, in fact I felt miserable. I was suffering from an acute form of depression, which unbeknownst to me I had since I was 16 as well as extreme anxiety disorder. Panic attacks were a daily occurrence and at the time I was extremely sick, unable to keep any food down and in constant pain. I felt like I was in a black hole, I was slowly discovering that many of my ‘so called friends’ were toxic and my friendship group seemed to be dwindling by the minute. I was sick, alone and afraid of what I might do if the pressure got too much. As bad as it sounds I used to have disturbing fantasies, imagining what would happen if I had died, would anyone care? At the time I thought not, I was so deeply depressed that forcing myself out of bed was an an internal struggle that I dealt with pretty much everyday. But then something changed and blogging changed my life…
I remember my first post, with photos taken on my friends phone. Looking back on early posts always makes me cringe but now I can truly appreciate how far I have come since August 16th 2015. I became a better writer, learnt skills that I would never have had the courage to learn otherwise and made friends who shared the same passion and love for blogging as I did. Most of all though I found you, my readers who taught me to be more compassionate and loving to myself. Reading your comments would make me both laugh and cry simultaneously and I am overwhelmed with gratitude that many of you are still here to share my journey with me. What started as a ‘journal’ became a full fledged business and eventually transformed into the community that it is today. Because you, my readers, are not random strangers but friends who have been with me through my journey of highs and lows. You taught me to be a better person, taught me how to appreciate the little things but most of all you readers have been with me when I needed you most. Never once despite my flaws and transgressions did you give up hope and abandon ship and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. When friends seemed to give up on me in my darkest times I thought I was alone but now I know that I wasn’t. Because although ‘virtual strangers’ may not be classified as ‘friends’ to me many of you readers are.
My readers have seen me witness births and deaths and taught me how to cope with grief, when it was threatening to drag me into murky waters. When I tried to jump into the deep end you pulled me up to the surface and showed me how I could survive, even in my darkest moments. You made me laugh when tears threatened to spill and made me cry with joy when you offered me a helping hand. Many of you readers would reach out to me personally and see if I was okay, always offering a virtual shoulder to cry on and in turn I did the same. If I saw a comment that particularly touched my heart I would reach out to my readers and tell them that we could be in it together, even if we had never even met. Despite the awards, despite the brands and despite all the ‘amenities’ that blogging can offer, my greatest achievement is finding loyal readers like yourself who have been with me every step of the way, because I know you will walk down any road, no matter how dark. I had found my tribe and for the first time in my life I don’t feel worthless or any of the negative emotions that the bullies and my abusers made me feel, instead I feel triumph. I feel triumphant because my readers showered me with praise and as someone who craves the approval that I missed out on when I was younger, hearing positive comments makes my heart swell with pride. I feel elated when I hear that my readers have won awards, have been offered exciting opportunities or achieved milestones, no matter how small. When readers are in pain, I feel pain alongside them but when I see them blossoming I feel like I am floating on air because readers, I feel what you feel.
I want to thank my readers for making me face reality; in times of darkness I would try and pull the wool over my own eyes and pretend that I was okay when I was not. I want my readers to know that I am grateful for every opportunity you have given me to become a better person and how you never gave up on me, even when I seemed to be drowning. I love my readers to the moon and back and I want you to understand how much you all mean to me. Without you, my blog would be a mere dot in the blogsphere, floating in intangible nothingness and without you my mental health issues would have remained unresolved. My readers, my dear friends, you gave me a safe space where I felt comfortable to share with you my deepest, darkest secrets and wiped my tears away with one swift click of a mouse. We may be separated by a computer screen but to me there is no divide and I know that a time will come where you will feel the same way as I do. But for now, I want to thank my readers for being the best god damn friends that a person could ever wish for because without you, I would be nothing.
Thank You x

Aww shucks. You are one of the ‘good uns’. Even in times of trouble, you reached out to my mummy via FB and offered support- she will never forget that. It should be us thanking you x
This is lovely. I’ve loved being on your blogging journey. You always write so openly and honestly x
I love this letter and your outfit it’s amazingly beautiful!
I can relate with you about the fact that blogging changed my life as well. You have a great blog.
Thanks for sharing this. I’m glad to have been part of your blogging journey.
As soon as you started writing “I will never forget the moment that I started blogging, a moment that would change my life forever…” I knew it is my story. I think around 70% of your blog belongs to my life. The only thing is that I kept all the depression feeling away from me.
I like the way you connect with the audience and readers. Your blogging journey looks interesting ..
As i just started blogging again, this here has given me confidence to continue on my journey. Blogging really is a wonderful thing
when you let us inside, we appreciate it and you have always done that. we all struggle on one thing of the other but not all of us are able to share with the world, so your letter is well appreciated. keep writing, keep being you and all the best Ana. blessings.
What a fantastic post. Blogging changed everything financially for me for the better and I’ve never looked back!
I cringe when I look back at old posts, too. I started in 2009 and blogging has changed A LOT since then.
You are truly an inspirational and beautiful person inside. I’m so glad I found your blog in one of the FB groups and have connected to you through FB groups, twitter and your blog. You have such a way with words and I love your fashion sense. You’re an amazing blogger and friend. xx
Aw, what a lovely post! So fantastic that blogging gave you an outlet when you most needed it! I love interacting with my readers and hearing what they have to say about my recipes!
Readers make me feel appreciated, it’s always nice to have people say nice things about you, especially when you put time and effort into things x
What a journey you’ve been on. Lovely that you’ve taken the time to thank your readers. I’ve made friends online who don’t feel like online friends, if that makes sense. Such a blessing. #mmbc
PS, love your boots.
What a beautiful post….a blog is only as good as its readers and you have got an incredibly supportive following behind you xoxo
Such a lovely, honest post. I can relate to this, when I graduated from university I was struggling to find a job and missed my uni friends loads. Blogging gave me a sense of belonging.
OMG I’m in love with this outfit 🙂
Wow. Thank you for opening up. I have been following you for a few months and you seem like such a great woman. I’m happy that I “met” you. Keep up the great work.
I can relate! Blogging gave me an avenue to share my struggles in a way that would encourage and motivate others. I feel as though that is my main purpose in life – to be an inspiration to those around me. I’ve been in dark places in my mind and have had trouble waking up each day, too, and I’ve found that sharing my experiences has been a big part of my therapeutic process. Having walking that path, I can now help others pull themselves up by showing them that I’ve survived. This if the first time I’m reading your blog, but I can tell just from this beautifully written letter that your spirit has grown tremendously since starting. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in upcoming day, weeks, months, and years ahead! May you continue to be a blessing for others!
What a lovely post. I think once most finish Uni the feeling of being lost hits many of us. The total change and realisation that people we have spent so much time with don’t actually have much in common with us hits us hard and and they become people of our past very quickly. Your posts help give inspiration to many who also go through struggles in their lives and by becoming part of the blogging community you are forming many new online friends that can be much more supportive than anyone might think.
such a lovely post <3 your style is amazing – and both in what you wear and your attitude. Hope to be reading your blog in years to come <3
Blogging has helped many of us through tough times, thanks for sharing your story!
I am so glad you started blogging! Your posts are always so real and truthful! I always look forward to reading what you post.
I love your blog. I’m a new reader here but I love each post. You’re so open and honest and quite opinionated. I admire that. You’re your own person! And you own it!

It sounds like blogging has been wonderful for you….
Ahh! I think we all cringe when we look back at our early blog posts. I know I do. It just shows us how far we have come though.
I love those boots! Fabulous!
#MMBC
That is such a nice things to say! Not many bloggers actually reach out to their readers to tell them how important they are! You are special! Many hugs!
This is beautiful. Blogging does open your life up to total strangers, but they truly do begin to feel like close friends!
I love this open letter to your readers. Being open & honest is always something that the world needs more of.
I love this Ana, and it made me quite emotional. I can so relate to this, to feeling less lonely because of my readers, for the friends I have made through my blog and the messages I get to say hey, I feel just the same way. Blogging is amazing, but our readers are even more so.
Yay to you for your blogging journey. I also cringe when I see my old photos (and some tacky effects I put on them too!) so its always a fun process of learning and growing!
Oh wow those boots are very colorful and bright I know I definitely would not be able to pull off that look in my wardrobe. For me with my readers of my blog I feel a deeper connection with them on others social media platforms .
Such a sweet letter! I started blogging after having my son and it is not only time consuming but difficult at times, but I wouldn’t trade it because I love what I do!
Ah Ana, you are such a lovely, honest person! I love your blog 🙂
What a lovely post, it is amazing what blogging can do, and how it transforms lives.
Having loving supportive readers is such a wonderful experience. This is such a beautiful post Ana, and I know that your readers love you just as much as you love them. It’s so heartwarming to watch how far you have come x
Girl…. Every post you do just hits the spot. Can’t believe there was a time you weren’t blogging; this is so YOU!
Oh I can totally relate. After I had my first son, things became so overwhelming with looking after him and dealing with his skin condition, but after starting blogging things became easier because I wasn’t wasting away just thinking of his needs, I also thought of mine which I had completelt forgotten! Thank you for sharinf your journey! http://www.stepinsidemyhandbag.com
I am glad you found a focus through blogging when you were going through a tough time. I too love blogging and have made many virtual friends, some I have met in person too.
You are amazing, and the amount of passion you put behind your writing is a testament to that. Not everything is always sunshine and rainbows, but having an outlet like this, and people to listen like us makes all the difference.
This is so wonderful. My readers mean a lot to me as well. They help boost me and keep me going, that’s for sure.
I love these jeans! So pretty!
What a sweet note! I think that blogging has a way of making most people welcome, as there are so many niches one might be able to relate to.
I love how open you are in your posts. I wish I had a bit more of that in me
I had the same feelings when I finished my uni. I felt so confused and not sure what will I do next that I decided to travel for some time and try to figure everything out, best decision ever!
What a sweet post. Blogging has changed my life completely. I would be lost without it.
Congrats to you! Yes, it’s a risky and hard thing to do, but blogging is so rewarding at the same time. I can related to many of your feelings and appreciate you sharing.
What a touching letter Ana! My readers are my world and I’m very thankful to this wonderful blogger community who are supporting each other. Also, loved the way how you’ve beautifully styled your embroidered outfit. You rock gal!
It’s great to use your blog to connect with people and communicate your thoughts and feelings. It is very open and honest and I like that. Wearing your heart on your sleeve.
You .. my dear .. are lovely inside and out. So many bloggers can relate .. I know being able to write has saved me time and time again. Whether it’s something happy or sad .. I sit down every evening to write. One of my biggest hopes with my blog? That one day my children and grandchildren will know me a bit better. The things I thought about .. how I spent my days .. some of our family’s stories. I think back to my first post .. and just like you I cringe a little. But the thing is .. you never know the impact you’ll make (on the world as well as on yourself) until you throw that first pebble into the water.
It’s beautiful how complete strangers can have such an impact in critical times in our lives. I’m so glad you found blogging and your authenticity is what draws your audience to you. That and awesome outfits like this one :). Keep it up!
This is really beautifully said. I’ve been reading your blog for a long time and I think you’re doing an amazing job. I really like the way you dedicate your time to the things that you value, it’s inspiring.
I admire your work, Ana. Thank you for never giving up on blogging. It’s a great way to meet friends that will last a lifetime. We will continue to support you and everything that you do. You’re an awesome human being.
This blog is proof of how hard you work for the things that you love. It’s amazing how dedicated you are to blogging and the people that you interact with.
Thank you for the beautiful post that you have here. It’s so great that you have made amazing friends and connections through here and that they have been able to see you through all of those issues. I know how debilitating depression can be. And I am so thankful that you have been able to get to a better place.
My old posts are too hard to look at…. I totally understand. Blogging has changed my life too, for the best and I wouldn’t change a thing.
Hello Ana,
This was such a beautiful read. I am so happy to hear how blogging has changed your life. It’s so great that you have committed readers who stuck with you through thick and thin, and as a blooming blogger I hope to one day look back and thank my readers for being so committed.
P.s I love your outfit ❤️
I read a fantastic meme today that goes like this: Before you diagnose yourself with depression and low self esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, surrounded by assholes. Guess who said that??? Freud. My guess is that you were surrounded by assholes.
I cringe when I look at my first blog posts too, but it makes you grow and learn. I am glad that blogging has become a sort of therapy for you and that you have made some great friends and readers along the way
Oh wow! It’s amazing to hear how big difference your blog has made to your life. I’m happy you started to blog, it has obviosly brought so much positive energy and good things into your life! My blog isn’t yet very big so I still have to work but my bloggers always make me smile with their nice and couraging comments. It amazing feeling when you have had a bad day, then you open your blog and find all the likes and comments. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this Ana! I can tell you really appreciate your readers and have built genuine relationships with them.
This outfit is perfect and that makeup is just insane, some serious skills there – loveeee it. Beautiful letter as well 🙂
What a wonderful and heartfelt letter. I for one have enjoyed following your journey and seeing this blog and you grow.
Lovely post, and thank you for sharing your experiences so openly and honestly for us all. Lx
Ana, you write so beautifully, and so much from the heart. It is a pleasure to read your posts. I hate to see you sad, I love to see you thrive. The blogging world, whether a writer or a reader is a fine place to be. I’ve seen so much good come from it. You are one of the shining examples.
Blogging really seems to have changed your life for the better, it sounds like you have such a wonderful caring audience. xx
Beautiful post as always lovely! I am so grateful to blogging too, I don’t even want to imagine a world where I hadn’t started blogging and met so many amazing people because of it, including yourself 🙂 Some of my truest friends and some I would say are as close as family are because of blogging! So glad blogging helped you through some trying times, you are such a strong person!
🙂 I really feel like only other bloggers get it. We aren’t just random people online, we build a community and really get to know one another.
Every single post you write is absolutely wonderful Ana! I can totally relate to you and agree that blogging really changes people. I have met the most beautiful friends through blogging! You go girl!! xx
Blogging like anything else is a journey and it takes a lot of twists and turns. As a blogger you grow and learn and find out what your readers respond to. It is great that you care so much and appreciate your audience.
What an amazing post! It still surprises me the power blogging has and how it can transform lives x
I can relate to some of your posts and sometimes I worry about you and wanted to reach out. I wish more success and a more positive life 🙂
Congratulations on having such a lovely blog! I’m so glad that it’s made such a difference to your life! xxx
You are right about the community of readersthat build over time and support usaswe grow. #MMBC
This is such a lovely post. It’s great to see how much blogging has helped you grow in so many different ways
I love to blog and hope mine is as successful as yours one day!
Such lovely sentiment. I always feel quite honoured when someone reads, likes or comments on what I’ve written. Love it when people find it really useful.
This is a lovely post – you have come so far and it is so great to read what you think of your readers. I am humbled that people read and enjoy my blog – it has changed my life too. Kaz x
It is always important to thank the people who make things possible… without loyal readers bloggers would have nothing! So it is awesome that you took time to write a beautiful post to thank the people that helped you along into growing successful and loved (in a way!) I have always been a fan of your photos, they’re brilliant! And you’re writing is refreshing, truthful, and unique… Keep up the excellent work!
Whenever I read a comment thanking me for my post, I feel such a sense of accomplishment. It makes me happy to know I’m helping my readers whether by entertaining them or introducing them to a really great product.
lovely post. I find blogging to be such a great way to connect with people x
This is a beautiful letter. You’re so lovely. 🙂 I’m so glad you’ve found your calling in life xxx
What a beautiful letter to your readers. I’m so sorry you have battled/are battling depression. I’m so glad writing is an outlet for you. I read your blog and I’m so glad your readers give you courage to overcome. You are a wonderful writer and thank you for writing for your readers!
I hate looking back on my first few posts, but it’s great to look back and see what you’ve achieved over time xo
Honoured to be one of your readers! Love your blog,
What a great post as always. I love that you found your passion and that it gives back to you as much as you give to it! xx
Oh Hun, I can relate to so much of what you’re saying. I feel really lonely here most of the times as due to the freelance nature of work I don’t really have many opportunities to meet new people and the ones I already know don’t want to spend time with me anymore so this little blog of mine really is my blessing, don’t know how I’d cope without it sometimes and you just made me realise that- thank you. I love that we met through blogging as you’re such a lovely, honest person, sensitive to other people’s feelings and needs. You’re truly precious and you deserve to be surrounded by the most wonderful people on this planet. And I know that whoever comes across your blog will stay here to enjoy becoming a part of your journey as much as I do. You’re precious babe, never forget that Xx
It’s really good to see that blogging has changed your life. Your photos always look fab x
I should be the one to say thank you to you! I love reading your blog posts. You share a part of yourself, your vulnerabilities, your weaknesses, that most, if not all can relate to. You write from the heart and that is very courageous to expose your innermost thoughts. Blogging does have its benefits. My life made a complete turnabout after I wrote my very first post.
I love you posts to the readers!!! It’s my first time reading your blog and it’s the free to express yourself and be open that I really admire in you. The letter encourages me to be even more open with my readers, it’s let’s them in.
We bloggers are a tight knit group. Our readers and our circle of blogging buddies become extended family to us all. To me, they are the family that I never really had. I do appreciate them as you do yours. You are completely welcome for the help and support over the past couple of years, and thank you for reading mine as well!
obsessed with the embroidered top!! you look fab!
You are such an authentic writer. Your readers are lucky to have someone like you!
I can totally relate with you with having extreme anxiety and depression all my life and writing has been a outlet for me to sort of escape that. Starting my blog has helped me with my depression and anxiety with getting the little hamster in my head run on his wheel and have my mind go to a different place.
What a journey! And it’s only been 2 years. I can only imagine this is only the beginning of your blogging career.
I think I’ve been following your blog since the very early days – it’s been a fantastic journey to follow!
What an honest, open letter. It’s lovely that you share your experiences as it will help those, who have gone through a similar situation. Love your outfit, too x
This is such a genuine heartfelt and open letter…I love this. Blogging is great and there is a real sense of community which is such a positive thing 🙂 x
Your blog is fantastic and a great outlet but also a great place that others can see the nitty gritty that many try to hide but that’s why it resonates so well!
Awwwh what a lovely and hearfelt appreciation for you readers!! Really we all come back and read be ause ylu write some of the most gripping content and the way you write is so unique and captivating so thank you for giving us all such great content tk read!
What a heartfelt letter! I’ve enjoyed following your blog- you’ve inspired me more than you know!
Fantastic write up.Yes,blogging changes lives.It can create lovely moments and memories.Glad to see that how you enjoy blogging…
This is such a lovely open letter and your readers truly appreciate all that you do xx
I really love reading your posts Ana, I always find them so interesting and your style is lovely! What a beautiful open letter x
What a lovely letter. I think that most bloggers can say that their blog changed their life in some way. Blogging is awesome.
I can definitely relate to this. I was wallowing in a pit of PND after giving up work to be a stay at home mum when I started my blog. Best thing I ever did!
That’s such a lovely post to write. Blogs are nothing without their readers and I am very grateful to some who religiously take time out to read and comment on my blog. I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts, especially your personal ones and long may you continue Ana x
This is so lovely. And I can really relate too. I have quite a few online ‘friends’ that I have met through blogging
Such a great letter and your outfit it’s amazingly beautiful! Wish I could pull it off lol!
I’m glad you had your blog (and us) to get you through those times. I’ve been in similar situations myself, blogging for so long will always get to you eventually. Glad you pushed through and stuck with it, you’re really fabulous. 🙂
You are such an inspirational blogger! I totally agree, blogging changed my life. I love the tight knit community that we have!
What a lovely post. It’s a great little blogging community we have here!
I always admired your courage and strength. You are an amazing person. Truly inspirational. I am glad that I am also part of your journey.
This was very raw and sweet. Thanks for always being willing to be open and vulnerable. Also I love this outfit <3
This is sweet and honest. I feel honoured that you share your life openly. More power!
This was a beautifully written open letter, I feel so touched that you feel this way. I genuinely pray that you continue to grow and flourish in your blogging, career and life in general. This tribute to your readers was heart-warming and I feel glad that I read this post.
I just started bloggging and seeing you react this way after a while of blogging is so comforting to hear! I’m so happy you battled your fears and overcame them and you’re doing what you love now! Best of luck!
Its been fun traveling with you, seeing your style and overcoming the obstacles that have made you who you are. Keep it up, we’re counting on it.
Blogging can definitely be like a form of therapy. Love everything embroidery at the moment so looking great 🙂
Such a heartfelt letter. It’s amazing how much blogging can do.
such a beautifully written post and as someone who shouts you on encouragement from the silent sidelines I am so proud of how far you have come
Isn’t writing therapeutic? I think that having someone to listen, and connect with, on that deeper level is something that we all seem to be missing today, and blogging definitely helps fill that space.
I had no idea you’ve started blogging in such a down moment. Similar to my story. After all politicians were ganging up on Bulgarians back in 2013, no one wanted to work with me any more. I couldn’t find work and every interview I went to would end with the same question: “You’re Bulgarian, right? Why did you come here?”
Obviously, not to stay on benefits, if I’ve been living here for years now and have been working as a freelancer, but how do you explain that to people who kept seeing Bulgarians on the news like uneducated cleaners who can’t even speak English.
So I started a blog to show the face of a regular Bulgarian girl. 4 years later, amazing creative projects and so many press passes to exclusive events, blogging is another branch of my freelance portfolio – next to a graphic designer, digital marketer and a microbrewery I’m building together with my English husband… in Bulgaria.
Keep it up, dear Ana, and don’t stop dreaming BIG!
Thank you for the beautiful read. I love how open and honest you rblog always is. I’m glad it’s made a difference for you.
I love hearing about people’s blogging journeys and the effects that blogging has changed people’s lives. There are so many of us that class fellow bloggers as friends now. Long may you enjoy blogging!
Isn’t it crazy how people online can become so dear to us? I moved a few years ago to a town where I don’t have many friends. My readers and my blogging buddies became so close to me.
I started blogging because I wanted to have somewhere to write my thoughts and feelings. I was not in any way able to write a novel so a blog was just the right channel for me. I was surprised how I got to have followers! Blogging changed me in a way that I discovered I do have a talent in creative writing.
Thank you for being so vulnerable and real with your readers! I love how blogging can bring so much inspiration and fullness to our lives.
Love,
Ivelisse | CarnationDreams.com
I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog even though I’m a new reader! I’m so thankful to have found it, I’ve been able to relate to so many of your posts! Blogging has been an outlet for me as it seems it was for you! Keep it up!
it’s great to know how many things you’ve got through blogging and that you found your real passion! You are stunning in that outfit, it’s lovely 😀 x
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. Blogging can be such an unpredictable journey of personal growth.
Fabulous styling as always my dear. I feel quite similar to you. Blogging had grown me into a better person
This is such a lovely post, as always. I’m so glad that you’ve found a therapy in blogging and that you have the support of so many people through the community you’ve created. You write so beautifully and I’ve been following you since the beginning, you have done so very well xx
I love how much blogging has done for you and I’m very glad to say that I am one of your readers! Keep up the amazing work! You really are going to go so far! This was such a lovely post 🙂
I am always so grateful to my readers for taking the time out of their day to take a look around my little bit of cyberspace.
It’s amazing how much you can connect with people by sharing experiences with them, even when they are miles (sometimes hundreds of miles) away. This was a very passionate open letter, so well done for being able to write it.
Blogging is so much more than just churning out post after post and the people we ‘meet’ through blogging do become our virtual friends. Often knowing more about us than our everyday friends do. It is fantastic that blogging has given you a lifeline and helped you when the world seemed such a dark place.
I do love connecting with others through my blog and love it when someone takes the time to read a post and comment. It is so much more than I expected when I first started blogging.
I hope you continue to love blogging for a long time to come and thank you for linking up with the #MMBC.
xx
Ana this post is truly amazing because I feel exactly the same! When I was in middle school I was kind of marginalised by the other kids — and my blog, my audience especially, made me NOT feel alone anymore. I consider my readers, my followers — my family & friends because, we ,bloggers rip a part of our life and share it with our readers.. and we are not judged.
What a lovely post. For me my blog is release from my day job and gives me some *me* time which really helps me take my mind somewhere else. It still actually shocks me that people read my blog though… really can’t get my head round it sometimes x
What a lovely heart felt piece. I haven’t been going anywhere near as long as you but I totally get you. For me I blog to move on with life after losing my Dad. I think quite a lot of people do it because of other things going on in their life. It sounds like you have a really lovely following
Great article, it good thing that your blog save your life.
What a lovely post ANA. I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading your blog, you say it as it is and of course you rock every outfit out there!
Keep it up girl, you deserve to go far 🙂
Thanks so much for joining us at #MMBC. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend and hopefully see you next week xx
Love this I cringe too at some of my older posts. I’m definitely grateful to those that read my blog and write such lovely comments especially if they can relate to me. I’ve also made some great online friends.
I really appreciate your honesty and always have. You write with a beautiful, raw tone. I’m so sorry that you’ve been through tough times, but I’m full of admiration at your ability to express it, and the humility you show to your readers.
You have such an elegant way with your words. I love how deeply your readers and your ability to blog have helped move you forward in a positive direction. This is a lovely post for them.
Wow! Your shoes are giving me life! They’re perfect for spring! I recently saw similar shoes at Zara, but they didn’t have my size!
Blogging has definitely been a life changer for me, too. It has definitely opened up a lot of opportunities.
What a lovely post. I think blogging offers so many positive opportunities. I hope you continue and enjoy your blogging journey.
Congrats girl, you’re killing it your photos are stunning. Blogging has definitely felt like a life changer for me as well,
This is a great post and so honest. I rarely come across blogs like this one. Keep up the good work.
I can understand your thoughts here, more because I read another post of yours which talks about bullying in school. Experiences like that can really make one miserable and it takes some time to come out of it. I am glad that you found what you are passionate about and struck to it, while the wonderful people on the web you supported you throughout.
That’s what I like about blogging, you get to meet wonderful people who have a similar thought process. Happy for your success!
