I'm back... but nobody really cares ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿ˜ž

I am a 12 year old student developer from India. I like programming very much.

Hello everybody, I'm here after a very long time(2-3 months). This is why I just stopped blogging and thought it was a waste of time, and nobody will care.

First of all, I want to say THANKS if you are reading this. I am thanking you for even looking at this blog. ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ

Why I gave up โ˜นโ˜นโ˜น

Feeling demotivated ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜–

After just posting a couple of blog posts(which weren't that great), I decided to quit because I got 0 views, 0 likes, and 0 appreciations. I thought it was because I didn't write blogs that interested people a little bit(which is partially true). But the biggest mistake was that no one ever knew about it. I didn't post it on Discord, Twitter, or any other platform and thought people will magically know about it. I also was a bit too fast to stop, not knowing that only less than 2 days ago I started it.

Began thinking it was wasting my time โŒ›โŒ›

I also began thinking it was a waste of time. I ignored the fact I was myself learning new things with it and thought I was writing useless stuff. Also, my typing speed was as slow as hell and took me more than 2 seconds to find a key on my keyboard(about 15 wpm I guess). But now I am much faster and can write it faster.

My wpm is still near 35 LOL ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Why am I starting again

Because I want to. I also got motivated by YouTubers like Ali Abdaal(the productivity king), Adrian Twarog(his Hashnode video is the best), and many others.

Now, I'll follow these tips by other bloggers and content creators.

1. Focus on your goal

Focus on your goal and don't be distracted by bad bad distractions, not good distractions(thanks to Ali Abdaal). I think focusing means to be determined about something and eye our goal and saying to it ๐ŸŽถNever Gonna Give you Up๐ŸŽถ(bad joke๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ)

2. Remember your ultimate goal

I started because I had a lot of free time, and thought blogging will help me to sharpen my skills. I felt disheartened after a couple of days that I had no views(just spam emails in my mails). I thought about how would I earn money like this, and forgot why I started. Now I again remembered my true goal, and I am starting again.

!important Just have fun

Now I am just having fun. I am now feeling happy and satisfied. I think having fun with what you are doing is the most important part.

I'll now try to post more blogs as soon as possible, and I think it will be more programming-related. Thanks for reading it.

Just noticed half a year has passed ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ

Hey Raghav! I believe in you. Not everyone will care about you, but your family and friends definitely do :)

I just want to say that don't be too hard on yourself, don't stress out for appreciation and recognition. We all started from zero, and we know how much that sucks ๐Ÿ˜…

Remember that: good things come to those who persist. Enjoy and carry on the process. Good luck!
