Today marks the 13th anniversary of the day when this incredible journey started. This is not merely a journey of expression through words on paper, but a journey of learning, realisation, awakening, questions, doubts, answers, choices, and the amazing takeaways that come with it.
13 years ago, I was struck with this idea of having a space to express myself. Of all the options available at that time, most of which required technical skills, WordPress seemed to be the simplest and minimalistic approach. I had an urge for sharing my thoughts with the world around me in hope of untangling the tangled chain of thoughts that kept getting complicated every day. In the beginning, it was just simple poetry following a certain rhyming pattern. It all looks kiddish now. Let me show you what I mean.
Here’s my first ever poetry post on this blog back in 2010, give it a read: https://mymindsjournal.com/2010/08/22/my-beautiful-earth/
And here’s my latest poetry post, see the difference for yourself: https://mymindsjournal.com/2022/12/10/downpour-dance/
From the title to choice of words to imagination and content refinement, there’s been an immense change or rather evolution. This is where my commitment, perseverance, continuance, and consistency has landed me. Even today, 13 years later, I don’t consider myself a proficient writer, but a writer I am and I’m proud of what I’ve become.
A very big thanks to all my followers, one-time visitors, secret admirers, supporters and all of you who kept encouraging me to continue this venture till the end of time. This is who I am now and I am just loving it.
Cheers!
