Blogging is always a challenge. Even for bloggers who have been doing it for a while. Bloggers blog about different things and for different reasons. But what we have in common are the challenges that we face such as creating valuable content and having a loyal audience to read and share our posts.
A lot of effort goes on behind the scenes. Sometimes on my low points, I wonder why the hell am I blogging for? But I blog because I love writing and I love the engagement that I get from like-minded bloggers from around the world.
I write about several topics, from lifestyle, travel, blogging to family life. It’s not always easy to keep an audience from a variety of subjects. Many bloggers have a specific niche, I have a few, and sometimes, trying to keep up is a challenge in itself.
So with a light-hearted overview, I would like to share with you some of the frustrations and achievements that I have experienced over the years as a blogger.
So there you go my lovelies, a description of my blogging highs and lows using emojis. I hope they’ve amused you and also gave you some reassurance that us bloggers go through similar dilemmas and triumphs. Remember, you’re not alone!
How did you overcome your blogging lows? Do you want to share something that you’re proud of? Feel free to let me know in the comments below!

I love this! Such a perfect way to some up this crazy world of blogging. Off to Pin this to my blogging board! 🙂
This post is humorously accurate – well done! I haven’t really had any lows as such, but one of my posts has been shared over 250 times on Facebook, which I’m really proud of x
Haha I loved this! I think a steaming pile of poo is something I feel often about blogging. I have love/hate phases with blogging recently. Those traffic light signals are the bane of my life, I can never get one of the green!
Haha this pretty much sums it up. At the moment I feel like I’m struggling with motivation … nonetheless it’s not something I’m willing to give up easily 🙂
This made me chuckle, love the choice of emoji’s. I find taking a break can help get your mojo back
I love how you’ve described your highs and lows using emojis! Very apt. We tend to find that its like a rollercoaster sometimes and we just do it for fun!
Great use of emojis! Blogging is a really personal journey but I think we can all identify with all of these!
So true! I’m more on Facebook than I ever was. And the word algorithim is like in my head. When people talk about Instagram, I’m thinking about it more from a promoting standpoint rather than “oh pretty pictures!”
Oh I love this, I am very much in the lost my blogging mojo stage at the moment xx
Ha ha – love this! Perfectly sums up my blogging life! Especially the little heart and then broken heart ?
Love this! 🙂 Especially the one about being obsessed with the statistics 😀 I have to keep reminding myself constantly to start checking it them all the time and that it’s not stats for why I blog but that I blog because I love to write 🙂 So even if just one person reads it, it’s actually pretty cool!
I hear you. I hate the days were I become so fixated on stats on traffic because it really makes me obsessive and burn the candle at both ends x
I relaly like this post very interesting and how you have used the emojis to describe a feeling.
Really well-done post, Maria! The emojis really make it. 😉 I wrote a behind the scenes post recently as well. Blogging is way harder than it looks!
