And it’s great if you’re proud of your work, if no one reads it or comments on it, you can always think “heh, you guys are gonna regret not reading this post” or something, while not being all too arrogant, just being confident with your work

Having fun and loving what you do is the key indeed… it’s really simple, but something many of us forget more often than not. Cheers to fun blogging~!

But even still, I think I’m having fun. Blogging hasn’t become such a big deal to me (guess that’s why I’m not that popular lol), but when I manage to grasp an inspiration and pull off a long TL;DR text nobody cares to read, much less comment on, there is a certain deal of satisfaction beyond just the urge to be popular. I guess it’s because of my line of work – in the forestry business we’re used to the fact that many people dislike us, even more numerous people think our job is something anybody can do (which it is not, I assure you), and almost nobody actually recognize our existence. But even still we keep going at it, because the work itself gives us the satisfaction. And the people, as few as they may be, who actually care.
