Nine months!
No, not a baby. Not literally, at least. Today marks nine months that I’ve been using this blog to the day. I posted my first post on July 16th, 2008, and it was a journey in agonizing over details and themes and harassing my friends about what header looks best where and what title is the most awesome. I really can’t believe it, and I’m not exaggerating. It just doesn’t seem real. Milestones like this, however small, are what remind me that life keeps going no matter how terrible the little bits seem. I can’t remember what was making me sick with stress that week in July, though I’m sure something was, and when it was it was just filling my vision. The next week, I’m sure it was something else entirely. That’s what gets me through tough times, uncomfortable confrontations and bad dreams – reminding myself, through things like this almost-anniversary, that eventually, none of it will cross my mind anymore.
Love it, so true. I’ve been blogging for nearly 18 months now, and it’s so good to truly remember that life does go on, the storm passes, and the friends (and readers!) remain!
Keep writing.
That’s a good lesson.
I think the blogging community has helped me more than I can ever imagine in my own recovery process. I agree with brie – keep writing!
