Hello all you beautiful, gorgeous people!
And Happy New Year!
It’s officially 2019, and it’s officially a fresh start, a new chapter, a new lease on life. How did you spend the New Year’s Night? Did you party? Did you poop? Whatever you did, I hope you enjoyed it, and that it didn’t cause any harm to anyone!
So, the theme of today’s post is sort of like a recap of this blog over the past year. We’re gonna talk about the this and that of 2018. What happend, what didn’t, and all that jazz.
Here we go!
First off, this blog started in 2018, but it’s not quite been a year. My blog is still a few days shy of being one year old. And yet, it has accomplished a lot in such a short span of time. First off, I was really eager and excited to launch this blog. I had been thinking about doing it for a long while. But I finally did it, and I couldn’t be happier and prouder.
The first couple of posts were some really good short stories that I remembering penning down enthusiastically. That’s how the Micro Fiction posts started. And you guys really seemed to love it. However, my creative well kind of ran dry and I had to refill it. So I did, by taking a break from writing fiction and moving on to non-fiction. That’s how the Let’s Talk posts started. It was partially because I wanted to give it a shot, partially coz I was low on fiction ideas, and partially coz you guy wanted to know more about it. The Let’s Talk posts are mostly question and answer tags, which are easily found on the internet. They are also fun as heck, ridiculously stupid and smart, and very interesting. The fiction and non-fiction tags started coming out in turns, one after another, until there was plenty of them to go around. This happened for weeks on end.
But. Then.
Then came the most amazing change to the blog. Around halfway through the year I announced my second book Disconnect: A.Novel. It was a pet, secret project that I just thought of publishing on my blog because I didn’t know what to do with it. It was the second biggest thing to happen to the blog, and it found so many lovely fans that I couldn’t be more thankful. The entirety of the novel is up on here, and I was thrilled and happy to see it being received so well.
After this came another series of fiction and non-fiction posts one after another, until the year ended. And that was just last week!
It’s crazy. It was last year a few days ago, and today it’s a whole new year. My blog has come such a long way, and I’m sure the same is true for many of you guys.
What has been the journey of your blog? What were its highlights and how much did you enjoy blogging in 2018? Let me know in the comments below!
Before I leave you guys this week, I’d like to say one more thing. Earlier I had mentioned that my novel was the second biggest thing to happen to my blog. Kinda raises the question of what was the first biggest thing? Well, that answer is simple.
You.
You, my followers, my readers, and my new friends. I couldn’t be more grateful, thankful, happy, and indebted to you guys. You have made my blog into something I would never have fathomed it would be. I could sing your praises for a thousand years and it still would not be enough. Thank you for reading week after week. Thank you for coming back week after week. Thank you for being my friends and becoming such close comardes over the past year.
I love you. I love your blogs. I love your lives.
Here’s to you, and to your kind friendship!
See you next week.
This is me, signing out!

Oh… ππ nothing, I just asked. Because once time I was fed up of friendship, School friends and Facebook friends are all fake! In school days, those boys who are crazy for me (I mean like/love) since childhood, later they cheated me, become drug addicts, smoker , girls who are my best friends since childhood later, they fought with me, broke friendship and many more….. They hurt me soo much! Facebook & school friends both.. I almost gave up friendship.
But lucky I got true, forever and real friends in University… that’s why I asked.

Yaa… Actually truth is, at school,, every teachers used to praised me, they like me, help me, support me, talk about me maybe, that’s why friends were jealous of it…. in my life I never like any boys in school as I was immature π , that’s why in a fit of anger they cheated and I felt very lucky that they stop this cheap….. But NOW, I’m extremely lucky to have new friends who are very true…..

That’s the best thing. To focus into he present and not on the past. True friends are the ones who stay and will always have your back. Focus on the new ones. Not the old.
