Hi everyone! How are you? For today’s post I thought I would share with you a list of the blog related things I would love to have accomplished in 5 years time! These last couple of days I have been having terrible flare-ups of my migraines (I am used to having them nearly everyday but lately they have all been my extreme ones) and joint pains stopping me from sleeping and making it difficult to walk in the day. It’s been draining and annoying so of course the first thing my mind drifted to in search of positivity was the future and blogging! 😂 The future is forever in front of us and so always holds an air of mystery about it allowing us to believe anything can happen and so I started to write my hopes for the future of my blog! When my migraine died down and I had short bursts of respite from the joint pain I would grab my notebook (and later my phone to type this out) and write down the things I hope for my blog to have accomplished within the next 5 years! Maybe I should have continued to rest in those moments of relief from the pain 😐 but then I wouldn’t have been given motivation through imagining these things actually coming true one day! 😂 (Plus sometimes I feel like if I can do one normal thing in a day of pain I’m somewhat taking back what’s rightfully mine) So here it goes! The blogging things I would like to have achieved in 5 years time are:
To still be blogging of course!
I feel like this is important and should be on the list! 😂 I would love to think I will still be blogging in five years time! I don’t know what the future holds but I feel like nothing will stop me (like if something horrible is said about it or if I get nervous I hope to keep going because I feel like you guys have helped me feel confident enough to overcome that). Right now I don’t want to stop blogging and so I can only hope I feel the same way about it in the years to come!
To have met blogging friends!
It would be so amazing to one day meet the people on here who I feel like I know so well already! It’s like through blogging we know all about eachother so can just jump straight into being friends and there’s no need to give a short life story rant and in my case bore you to death! 😂
To have gone to a bloggers event!
I don’t feel ready for this one right now so I would love to think I will have more confidence in 5 years! (I like to think this will one day be possible as I never would have thought I would have the confidence I have built up so far through! 😄). Blogging events sound like so much fun and like an amazing opportunity to grow as not only a blogger but as a person.
To have gone self hosted?
Okay so the fact that I’ve put this one down as a question mark proves I’m doubtful about it! 😂 Sometimes I feel like there’s a million reasons why I should go self-hosted and then other times I feel like I’m fine where I am at least until I use up the space that free WordPress blogging has to offer (I don’t wanna waste a bargain! 😂). Maybe between then and now I will loose space and need to make the decision between going premium or self-hosted (I’m leaning more towards self hosted at the moment but that might change) or I might even find out reasons as to why I should choose one over the other like if I want to become more professional within it all/have access to better stuff (there’s a lot I need to learn about it as you can tell! 😂).
To have found a schedule that works for me!
Even though posting every second day is going well at the moment and has done since I started blogging in December I’m unsure if this will still be the case as time goes by as this is still my first year here and I reckon hurdles will come my way after I’ve reached that boundary of one year blogiversary in December 😂 In five years time I would love to still be at ease with my posting schedule whether it be the same as it is now or once a week. I don’t think I will drop out of my routine for a good while but if the time comes I want to be able to say that it’s okay to let go of this routine and switch things up a bit so that it doesn’t change into something that doesn’t feel fun anymore.
And there are my goals! (I feel like this is the point when I’m supposed to put a lid on a capsule and bury it for later! 😂) One day in 5 years time I will revisit this post and hopefully I will be able to say I have accomplished two if not more of the things on it! (One of them me still being a blogger! 😂)
Thank you for reading! 😉💗 What do you hope to see your blog achieve in 5 years time? 😄 Have a lovely day!
