Brothers' Blog · 4 months ago

Man congrats on your success. It's always great to hear a success story of another brother that had to grind to get to where he is. It's nothing but motivational for what I'm trying to do as well. And I'm sure you're still far from your pennicle so keep up the hard work.

Great story. I'm sure it inspired someone the same way TI inspired you. I saw your tweet the other day about changing up your blog a bit to cover more than just sex. I think it is a good idea. Don't do anything too drastic, too soon. But, I think you have reached a level of success that can allow you to experiment.

Yeah we're not changing the content just the way we frame the content.. you've been riding with me for a minute too... lol since the bossip thing if i remember correctly. It's been a wild ride hasn't it! lol

Great blog! I remember when I was following you on myspace. I accidentally ran across your blog, now your doing big things! Thats a good look, congrats! :-)

BlogXilla · 4 months ago

Thanks babes... The myspace days were popping. I wish I still had them here with me.. I remember i would post a blog and it would be 50 comments by the time i pressed publish and then click homepage. Those were the days.. way more people but it's less personal now.

I remember those long 45 days... I would check in daily to see if there was a new post or comment on how you were doing lol... It's great to see a black man to stay so dedicated to what he wanted to do. It's hard to find that... Congrats on the success and I can only hope that this time next year the site is 10x bigger than what it is now

BlogXilla · 4 months ago

Congrats on your success, Xilla! It is so inspiring to see someone who came up from all types of seemingly impossible circumstances and do great things. I wish you the best.

Thats an incredible story blogxilla. All the best. Love your Cinderella series... personal fave!!!

Shay Gore · 4 months ago

I had to comment on this one here. I loved your personal entry. It's quite an inspiration to see how far you've gone in a year. You determination is remarkable and I know you'll continue to grow. Your story is a reminder to those who swear that they can't do it, that they CAN as long as they don't give up. You're right by saying you carved your own lane, because I've never seen a site like yours!
Congratulations on where you've made it to, and many blessings on where you're going to go!

iolastar · 4 months ago

Wow, wow, wow what a difference a year makes. I soooo needed this message like right now. I told myself that I have to grind this year because I want my life to be significantly different next year. I was recently laid off from my job, but I am so blessed that I am. I am putting my new found time into my new young adult novel and other creative projects. I even blog a little more than before!

Thanks for sharing your personal story, you never know who's listening.
