4 Reasons Why Blogging Friendships Are Special

I’ve been blogging 3 years now, it has been such an amazing journey, I have grown so much, changed so much, honed so many skills. Blogging has literally given me so much and it makes me feel like I’ve achieved so much just by looking back at what I’ve achieved over the last few years has just been incredible. Not only that I’ve made some incredible friends through blogging which is something I am ridiculously grateful for. These are the people who will understand the struggles that come with blogging, so why are blogging relationships so special?

1. They understand the struggles that come with blogging

Let’s be honest, anyone who says that blogging is easy is lying. It is so hard, it is more than just writing, taking photos and hoping it turns out okay. These are the people you can vent too and I always feel so much better once I’ve had a massive rant! Not only that, they understand that you need to get that shot for Instagram, and even though it might cause your food to go cold, they get it.

2. They keep you inspired

Honestly without these girls I probably wouldn’t have the drive to keep creating. I keep wanting to push myself with my blog, to up my game, keep chasing my dreams. Whether it is photos, upping my posting game, sharing blog posts or anything like that, they keep me wanting to improve, inspired to write all the blog posts and to just keep doing my thing. Sometimes I need the biggest fire under my backside, and they make me realise that I have so much left to give with blogging!

3. They listen to your rants

Whether it is ranting about Instagram or having a mini meltdown about struggling to write a blog post, they listen to your rants. My rants are legendary, especially when it comes to my blog! The other day I ended up messaging my friend Sian because I was worried that I wouldn’t be a good host of a blog chat where I haven’t hosted in a while. Sian calmed me down and the chat started and it was so much fun, I had really missed it so much and it was just an amazing chance to speak to people and enjoy having a massive chinwag.

4. They support you

I am so grateful for my blogging family, they are some of the most supportive people in the world. Whether it is just leaving a little comment on a blog post or Instagram post, or it is just a message saying your blog post is amazing, it’s the little things that matter. These are the people who are always cheering you on from the side lines knowing how hard blogging is.

Blogging is never an easy journey, but do you know what? Blogger friends really do make everything better, they keep you motivated, they keep you strong and I feel like I have the best blogging friends in the world! Having the right people around you in the blogging community is so important, they’re the ones that make  you feel like you can take on the world and keep blogging.

    I love this post and I totally get what you’re saying. I am so grateful for all my blogging friendships, particularly in the vegan community. I don’t feel like I’ve really bonded with anyone that’s not vegan.. not because I don’t want to though. Haven’t met anyone that’s not great so far 💗
