It's tough not to reflect on the last seven years -- cause it's just over seven years since I started my very first blog. I can't imagine not having one anymore (not to mention numerous blogs). Just like I couldn't imagine not having a thick notebook back when I was a teenager, that I would fill with notes in the evenings.
But blog is not just an internet diary and my web space. It's also a place where I meet people. And it's something that literally change my life. If not for my blogs, I would never meet Polish Blog of the Year 2010 winner and then end up co-hosting an event with him, during which we were both firing questions at this man.
But it's not just about showing off with other bloggers. It's also about meeting true friends. Thanks to blogging I've met people just like. My blog's not just a virtual space anymore, it moves to my real life, too, more and more often. And in the real life it turns out that we, bloggers, know each other from between our lines better than we'd expect.
I have learnt a lot reading other people's blogs and writing mine. Our world nowadays is so busy, blogs have been a place to stop, take a breath and reflect. I didn't expect at all what wonderful journey was ahead of me, when I was picking my first blog template in the summer of 2004.
Seven years and many blogs later I'm proud to be calling myself a blogger.
