Recently a friend asked me "How does it feel to be read (through the blog) by more than 700 people?". But are all the 700 really reading it? I doubt that! The number is a transient one, constantly changing. Today there might be 100 and tomorrow 25. There will be those few special ones who will stick around but the rest is not a fixed number.
If you constantly keep worrying about the number of followers, readers, comments that you are getting, you will neither have any peace of mind nor will you be able to produce any quality work. I have never publicly declared that "Oh I have so many followers!" or that "I have reached/crossed so and so number of followers" because it has never (honestly never!) bothered me. I have people following/un-following every day and its a continuous process.
Be it in blogging or in any other aspect of life, I stick to one rule that helps me stay balanced and focussed.
"Never let insults get to your heart and never let praise get to your head". As long as you keep this in mind, come anonymous haters or lovers - you'll be good to go!

This is a very cute casual outfit. Nicely put together with the floral jacket and coral top. Nice sandals as well. I also like the chocolate brown handbag which matches your sweet chocolate brown hair. Very nice outfit! :)

T G A F A,
ReplyDeleteOne should write for own satisfaction. Comments or feedback do encourage but it should not be the only thought in mind when one writes.
Take care
very pretty!! And I agree with the above, one should write and share for their own satisfaction. There will always be someone who enjoys it and its good to not pay attention to the numbers or it will drive you crazy. :)
ReplyDeleteA very pretty and comfortable look. I love your necklace too :)
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is really pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLove it and your balancing act :)

I like your floral jacket! X
ReplyDeleteThe neckpiece looks uber cool. Hey since you are a fashion blogger, have you heard of the new Levis waterless campaign? I heard this water<less campaign is on the lines of preserving water. Ain't it cool?
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful neckpiece :) Need I say? Fab as ever :) When I got into blogging, I didn't care about the followers and stuff. Mid way through, I was bothered. Intimidated. Now, back to a phase where I blog cuz I want to :) No forcing my Twitter, Face Book, AndSoAndSO accounts to be reminded and liked and Please-Follow-Me-:(-I-Neeed-Your-Support-To-Survive-d by people :D Feels good when you blog, just blog :) I love how every post of yours makes me think!! :*
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeletekeep on blogging :)
