Happy Six Months!

Happy birthday baby BLOG!!!

That's right, it's my blog's birthday today. Six whole months. It's starting to babble.  That's right, that's not just me being an incoherent mess, that's an actual milestone, baby! And it's starting to crawl (surely you've noticed it's been all over the place lately). Yes, my baby blog is growing up. I'm so proud!

I first started this blog as a way to try to process things - a coping mechanism, if you will.  I've started with a number of different hobbies and grand ideas, sure that THIS one would be THE one...and then sticking with it for all of about two weeks.  I guess you could say I have commitment issues.  It's okay - I say it too.  It's true really.  I get bored easily, frustrated easily.  All thing things that make people give up.  So I came up with a foolproof plan to avoid that with this blog. I know, I know...you're begging me - PLEASE give up on this one.  No.  Absolutely not.  I'm going to make you suffer every bit of it!  But back to the plan.  My foolproof plan. Spend $15 on a custom domain so I'll feel guilty if I give up on it. So far, so good.

I don't know how much the blog has helped me process.  I'm sure most of my readership is just along for the train wreck. Fair enough, I say. My hope is that at some point, somewhere along the way, the blog will help someone understand depression or anxiety or self-harm (or any of my other unspecified neuroses) a little bit better.  I've always been a very private person, so the last six months have been a real challenge. But in all fairness, there have been a lot of good things that have come from it. I've reconnected with a number of people that are really awesome people, and I've been able to become more transparent which has helped me gain support when I've needed it the most. I'd say that's not too shabby for 6 months of work.
