Happy Birthday Stay Blogitive!
Today
is February 10th, which means that Stay Blogitive is now one year
old! It has been an incredible twelve months, in which this page has gone
beyond what I ever expected. Today, I’m going to split this post into three
sections; then, now, and still to come. Each will explain just how my life has
been changed by this page and my feelings then, at the moment, and about its
future. Hope you enjoy!
THEN
When
I uploaded that first post in February last year, I have to be honest and say
that I was in a terrible place mentally. I was struggling to keep up at
university, found social contact very difficult and my outlook on life was
negative. At that point, I made the decision to try and turn things around and
try to look on life in a more positive way. This led to two new projects which
have become a huge part of my life ever since. One, I started the My 2015
project, a box in which I put all of the positive things that were happening.
This was successful in making me feel more positive and has carried on into
this year, with the 2016 version already starting to fill up. And, of course,
the second of these was the creation of Stay Blogitive. I did have a blog
before this one, but it focussed on negativity and all of the things I hated in
the world, and it was generally not a healthy thing for me to do. So, I took
that one down and started in a more positive fashion with my brand new blog. The
general idea of it was to try and make myself feel more positive, and hopefully
help other people to do the same along the way. And so, I set out on the
journey of Stay Blogitive, and little did I know just what a journey it was
going to be.
NOW
Here
we are then, twelve months on, and a lot has changed.
I
have spent the last year working on improving my outlook on life, and changing
my state of mind. I am now back on track with university, which has allowed me
to come to France for my placement year, something which is proving to be a breath-taking
and enlightening experience for me. Socially, I am far closer to people who
were on the fringes of my friend circle before, and have found the confidence
to meet some amazing new people, and make some incredible new friends along the
way. Not only that, but this page has gone far beyond what I ever expected. In a
year, the pageviews count (at the time of writing) has reached 3,687 which is
out of this world. With each post, I love blogging more and more, and am
becoming prouder and prouder of my work each time.
All
in all, at this point in time I am in a fantastic place in terms of both my
blogging, and my life in general, with confidence flowing about the future of
both.
STILL
TO COME
After
everything that Stay Blogitive has achieved up to this point, I have so much exciting
stuff planned for its future.
Of
course, if you are a regular reader, you will already know about the ongoing
Trent’s Tracks series which I put up every Friday, and that I am planning on
several other themes for post series which are coming up. I have also mentioned
previously about the main goal for this year which is 10,000 pageviews, a
target I believe is achievable.
So,
yes, I have some exciting things coming up on this page, and I hope you are all
going to stick around for it. I am so looking forward to the future of this
blog, and I cannot wait to take you all along with me on the next steps of this
remarkable journey.
Thank
you for all of your support over the last twelve months, I could not have got
to this point without you and I am grateful every single day to have you guys.
As
usual, I am leaving my social media links at the bottom of this post, and
invite you to comment too. The next in my Trent’s Tracks series will be up on
Friday, so until then, keep active, keep smiling, and above all else, keep
believing!
