Goodbye 2023: My 9 Best Blog Posts!

It is starting to feel like every year is a roller coaster ride for me and my blog but this year, I think I’ve reached the ultimate peak. I even had to take two months break from blogging to deal with things that was going on in my life in January and February. It took a whole lot of energy to come back stronger in March since the break was long and much needed. I even re-blogged some of my old blogs this year when I couldn’t find the time. Let me remind you. I’ve always managed to find the time but not this year. Apparently, the year 2023 was only starting to get crazier for me.

“Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas.“

*Charles Kettering*

I’ve met a lot of people this year online and offline. Some made my life better while some became a memory. I’ve channeled all my feelings and emotions into blogging this year more than what I had in mind. Usually, it is the fashion and travel blog posts that make it up on top of the list but not this time. Surprised much? Don’t be. Sometimes there are other things in life that you will have to give more time and attention to instead of just focusing on the happy times. I am glad 2023 taught me not just the good lessons but also the bad ones in the most awful ways.

I am thrilled to bounce back harder than before and hopeful every time the new year rolls in. Eventually, it is you that make everything happen. If you don’t give up and believe in whatever that you choose to do, you will and can get through anything in life. Now, are you ready to bid goodbye to 2023 and look at my 9 best blog posts of the year 2023? Let’s go.

4. 10 Steps To Protect Your Vibe This Tamil New Year!

Tamil New Year is quite similar to the New Year but a lot more traditional and a day to bond with your family.

9. Can People Actually Cause Anxiety?

A question I’ve been wondering every time I meet someone new, old or even those who’ve gone. In the world that we live on right now, almost everyone we know is dealing with anxiety even if they don’t talk about it openly. When you feel powerless, you will be anxious so you need to set some boundaries and be empowered. And yes people can actually cause anxiety.

I’ve only managed to write 40 blog posts this year with two months off. This year it was all about mental health and getting my life together.

The month of May had been the most viewed month of the year with two of the posts ranked up the first and 8th on the list.

I’ve gained 48 followers just on the blog this year (not including the ones on social media) with people from various countries viewing it. Malaysia topped the list, followed by the USA and India.

As always, I am forever grateful for all the feedback and criticisms I’ve gotten this year. Hopefully I will continue to blog next year too if my real life permits. Not knowing what might happen next year, I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a better year ahead.
