I don't believe in luck. The only times in the world when I use the word 'luck' is when I'm being modest about my accomplishments or when I'm jealous of something that my friends get to do. But in its essence, I don't believe in it.
But I've been thinking, and I realize that I'm luck --ehem, privileged, to have been a part of the blogging movement five years ago because through that, I've gained wonderful friends that I'm still in touch with until now. Five years ago, blogging was ultra cool. We would blog about the most random thing and other people would actually read it. We'd share personal stories of our struggles in our blog, and people would care enough to read and give us advices on the comment box. It was okay. It was cool. It was... fun.
...and then came Twitter.
The blogging hype died down for non-fashion bloggers. Some of us, like yours truly, still tries to blog every once in a while. Some of us completely abandoned the concept of blogging. The short, 140 charactered updates takes precedence of our online activities. Not saying that it's bad. It's just... different.
I miss those times when blogging was still a mean of friend making.
I know that by saying the following sentence, I would contradict my opening paragraph but I can't find a better way to say it.
I'm lucky that I was a part of the blogging hype. Because without that, I wouldn't have friends who lives in just about every corner of the world. I wouldn't have witnessed so many wonderful people grow and change. I wouldn't be smiling in utter joy when
Indita, one of the loveliest people in the world, got accepted into the college she wanted, and this list could just go on and on.
So, for once, thank you, Luck.
