Hello and welcome @rarej, lovely to see your goals.
It certainly does get harder to get to the next ranking the higher you go - I've been on Hive for nearly five years and three of them were at Rep 69, I never thought I would see 70! 😂 Well, maybe it wasn't three whole years, but it has felt like it.
You're a daily blogger, though, so I'm sure you'll reach your goal 😍.
Glad to see you're trying EDSMs,hope you enjoy them.
I'll add your goals to the next post (tomorrow morning my time).
