Today is a milestone day for this special little corner of mine. It has been two years since I clicked 'publish' on my first post on this blog & a couple of months over that since I started blogging. In a way, it does not feel like two years. But that is the strange thing about time. It changes you. Slowly, but surely. You don't usually realize it while it is happening, till one day, when you turn back & peer down the small dirt path behind.I have changed a lot since I started blogging. I am not that girl who used to spend an hour adding 20+ effects to a photo on picnik. I am not that girl who used to post almost everyday in order to get more followers, & not because she really cared about sharing her thoughts. I am not that girl who thought Blackadder ITC was the most amazing font ever & used it in her blog design. I am not that girl who used to use colour selection & thought her photos looked amazing. I am not that girl who used to get frustarted because her flash kept popping up & she had no idea how to stop it. I am not that girl who thought she looked 'professional' just because she had a dslr around her neck. I am not that girl anymore.
Sometimes I just want to delete my blog archive. I blush every time I think of all those silly blog posts I published, once upon a time. But I won't delete them. They show how much I have grown & changed, in both photography & blogging. And though there is SO much more to learn, I don't ever want to forget how much I have already grown & how I started out.
I want to say THANK YOU to all the wonderful, lovely, sweet, & brilliant people who have followed me along on this blogging journey. This is going to sound totally cliché, but I would not be here writing this post right now if it wasn't for all your sweet comments & encouraging notes, emails, messages, letters, & cards. I really mean it! There were times in the past when I considered deleting my blog because I thought it wasn't 'good enough', but you wonderful people kept me going. I just love you all BUNCHES! <3
