How My Blogging Friends Have Become Some Of My Best Friends

The online world is probably one of the most confusing places in the world, it can be somewhere you can talk, vent, have a good old chat and it can also be somewhere that at times can be quite toxic. Not the people you surround yourself, but just in general if I’m completely honest. My blogging friends though have become some of my best friends – and I will always be so grateful for them.

If it wasn’t for things like the internet, I know that I would never have met these amazing people and that really does break my heart for various reasons. I’ve been blogging for almost 4 years now, and probably had some sort of online presence since I was about 13, whether it was the days of Bebo (forever changing my Bebo profile skin so something super soppy with a quote of some kind) or having all my friends in my status on MSN, I mean it’s been forever.

When I started blogging though, little did I know that I would meet all of these amazing people who have genuinely bought such joy into my life and changed the way I think about things and even calmed me down when I feel like the world is caving in on me. As we get older friendships can be hard to juggle with life, trying to get enough sleep, spend time with my husband and genuinely be a fully functioning human being. When one of us needs someone, we always drop them a message no matter what, if they need us, need a rant, we always talk and it’s like we picked up where we left off. No pressure, no resentment for not talking, just good friends.

These are the kinds of friends we all need in our lives if I’m honest.

Blogging friends are also the ones that genuinely make me feel like I’m not failing at blogging. I mean if you saw my post the other day, you will have seen that I was pretty much having a meltdown about my blog, where I was going and whether or not I was good enough to make a difference. Also if you didn’t see my Instagram Stories the other week where I basically cried my way through, there were so many amazing people who sent me some amazing messages and made cry happy tears. The people around me are the reason I have decided to write this post in the first place.

They are the reason that I still continue to keep going, the reason that I haven’t give up something I love just yet and why I’m going to try my best to continue to do my thing – because that is what I love more than anything.

Having friends who do the same thing as you can be ridiculously helpful, because they genuinely understand your struggles – for example, when you’re literally struggling with a photo, it looks okay but you’re not in love with it, they can give you advice, they can support you with the whole editing process and just be a genuinely good egg.

I’ve always said that blogging is harder than it looks and I will probably continue to say it, but when you have these amazing people around you, you literally feel like you can take on the world.

The reason my blogging friends have become some of my best friends is because I can rely on them, not that I can’t rely on my friends that I have in real life but we all have different experiences, my blogging friends can understand when I struggle with Instagram or the Pipdig scandal, not that my other friends wouldn’t but my blogging friends always come to my aid when I need help! That is the beauty of blogging.

There are so many amazing people in the blogging community, but I have to say I follow some of the most incredibly genuine, kind and supportive people in the industry!

“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.”  – Karl Marx
