Last month marked Year Seven of keeping ejshea.com.

Good God. Seven years. People, I was 23 when I started this blog. A baby. A pup. I cannot begin to explain to you how crazy this seems to me as I don't keep with any hobby more than a year at best. And somehow I've been journaling my life online for seven years.

Despite having removed the majority of the archives, I have no regrets about anything I've ever written here. Not a bit. Even the things I wrote that got people's panties all in a bunch. While I'll no longer write in intimate detail about my personal life*, I still don't feel any compunction about this practice as I've met a lot of kindred spirits out there as a result.

Writing this blog is still one of my very favorite things to do, and I meet new people every day as a result of it. I feel connected to people and new ideas and thoughts and worlds in ways I would have never dreamed and I am a better person because of it. Even better because of the mean people who have read me, too.

Thank you for showing up over here, reading me, emailing me, and being there when I've needed you. I really appreciate it.
