Nine glorious years of sharing my thoughts and words out into the world for anyone to read! My thoughts on books, my experiences on travels, my words in the form of short stories and even shorter diary logs, just so much of my life shared in so many words over such a long period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to say that I am super proud of achieving this. Growing up, I didn\u2019t really stick with anything. I started going to classes for music, guitar, karate, swimming, drawing and gave up on them pretty quickly. I guess, I never really was able to express myself with these activities. So, when I started Mindscape in Words, I had the least bit of conviction on whether I will stick with it. But, I did and in the process I found something that give me unfiltered joy! Maybe my family or friends won\u2019t get how important this is for me, but I know and that\u2019s enough. Here\u2019s to many more! Can\u2019t believe it\u2019s only one year to reach TEN YEARS!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you so much, dear readers. For reading the book reviews, for relying on my book recommendations, for sharing your reading journeys, for using the reading templates I prepared with so much love and effort, for staying and coming back for more every time I share a post. <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#c45911\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Thank you for sticking around for nine glorious years!<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#27c7cd\" class=\"has-inline-color\">~~STATISTICS~~<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the last blogoversary, I received <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#c45911\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>68K VIEWS &amp; 3.47M IMPRESSIONS<\/strong><\/mark>!
