This Place: One Year Later

Today, is my first 'blog-versary.'

When I started this, last June, I didn't know what I was getting into. In all honesty I didn't think I would make it a full year here. I sort of thought it would be just one more account that I would have floating around on the interwebs. But, alas, I am here, and I have made it one full year.

Now, I haven't posted as much as I would have liked. Really, just not as many times as I thought I would have. In many cases I wish I had more to say. I wish I had more to write about here. Or maybe, just things I felt were 'worth it.'

I know so much more about myself, about how and why I write now that I've gone through this year. I know that seems cliche to say the least but I don't really know another way to say it. My writing has more purpose, more intention. I know how to write something other than fiction. I know how to sit down and articulate what I'm feeling, sort of.

I am so thankful that I gave myself this opportunity, this chance to write and say whatever I wanted. I am glad that I did this for myself, and that there is nothing that can keep me from continuing on.
