blogiversary.

guess which little blog is one year old today...

happy birthday, bright red hoodie!

not a picture of me or of anyone i know

also, if i may, ...  i just want to take a second to thank you for sticking around, for being awesome, for leaving comments, which i haven't always responded to but which have always totally made my day.  there have been so many lovely words from so many of you, and it never ceases to amaze me how much the same we all are.  and i guess, if anything, that is what i hoped you and i would both get out of this whole blog/sharing thing.

we all have shitty days/weeks/months.  we have have awesome days/weeks/months.  we all get annoyed at stupid stuff.  we all get excited about fun stuff.  we all want to be better people.  we all are trying our best.  we're all looking for ways to improve ourselves, our lives, the lives of those around us.  we are all on our little paths but, when it comes down to it, we all just want the same thing: happiness, ... and maybe also to laugh 'til our cheeks hurt.
i find great comfort in this.

so thank you, you.
and happy blogiversary!
