I just can’t keep this to myself. This blog is about to hit a major milestone, probably sometime tomorrow: 50K views this month! Thanks so much to all of you who have helped this to happen! I’m over the moon. 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔
It makes me laugh when I read this old post, one of the first I ever wrote. It was written when this blog was a week old and I had 12 followers. I’m not known for my patience!
It’s hard to believe that this blog, which I started on a whim one year ago today, was just the beginning of a life changing journey that would take way too long to detail here.

On September 10 (in five days), this blog will be a year old. I’ll probably give it a little birthday celebration, and everyone will be invited.
I also just reached 1000 posts. That’s over 3 posts a day. That’s a lot of damn writing!
In addition, LOH just reached 200,000 hits!
This blog is like my child. It’s grown and changed and matured much like a child does, and has been shaped by all the people who have “raised” it. It even has a sibling now. 🙂 Sometimes it almost seems to have a life of its own. And best of all, it’s changed me in ways I never would have dreamed of.

This is awesome, and so are all my followers. 🙂
Thanks in particular to Onishiro, who became my 1000th follower.
I need only 10 more followers to hit 1,000!

The most views I’ve ever had for one day remains 862 (on December 25th of all days!), but I’ve never broken 4,000 views in one week before. 😀 I think it’s a good sign.
I just hit 700 followers! Wow. I think that’s pretty incredible. In September, when I had a measly 12 followers and no likes or comments and OM reblogged my rant about no one reading my blog, I never imagined I’d have 700 followers six months later.
Back then, I didn’t think my boring little life would interest so many people. Deciding to start this blog and make my private thoughts accessible to the whole world was a huge risk but worth all the hard work, and every drop of blood, sweat, and tears that went into making it a reality. And it’s changing me every day.
Thank you so much, everyone. ❤ This has been such an amazing ride.
