I somehow remembered my old blog name and the address to it, the one I had until I started this one (which at first was located at a blog site before I bought my own domain). My very first blog post was on Christmas Eve 2006. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years of online writing already! Or, actually, I wrote online before that. Back then, a Swedish site that was just like Facebook (before FB existed) had something called “Diary” where I wrote from time to time. But my first own page was a blogspot blog.
Ten years of blogging. I started it as a fun thing to do and an escape from all dance and work. Having a blog was also a simple way to share my everyday life with friends and family when living in a different city or living abroad.
Some of the things and the blog-“language” I had then was actually pretty funny. After reading this I feel like I want to hang out with this 20 year old Fanny:) I wrote about everything. Good and bad. I can really feel and remember everything from back then. The struggles of being a student at Balettakademien five days a week and work every day after school and extremely long shifts on weekends and still not being able to pay for food. I wrote about how much I love dance and about the preparations for all the auditions. I was happy to have new friends and sad to be single after four years of having a boyfriend. My body was tired but my brain was creative. This was a really tough, but fun, time for me. I learned a lot!! And I wonder how I found time to write blog posts, haha.
But, I think the big blog celebration will be when it’s been 10 years since my first post on this blog. June 3, 2017 is the date to remember.
