8 years.
Feb. 9, 2005. 8 years ago, to the day, I joined Xanga. As a Junior in HS, Xanga was where it was at and everyone had one. It was the Facebook of the time but slowly faded out with the changes of time. I faded here and there but found myself continually coming back. Honestly, I'm thankful I did and have - so much of my life is documented here. VERY low moments in my life and very high ones. Moments and feelings that never escaped my lips but the keys of my keyboard heard. I've been thankful the popularity of Xanga, at least amongst the initial hype has faded, it has made it easier to be more honest and open here. Although, even then, with probably 5 people I know that read this - I still reserve some things. I'm just not the kind of person, at least I don't think so, that you'd say is an open book. Quite honestly, I'm not a gut-spiller, talking kind of person. I listen and that's what I like to do. If you read this blog, you probably think I'm a very wordy, dramatic person.
Anyway, not sure where that was going. I just felt it necessary to commemorate today with something. 8 years is a long time to have stuck with something and I know I'm thankful for the insight into myself somedays. Where I can look back, in a very real way, read things I've written and see the what I've come through and ways I've grown stronger in my walk with the Lord.
That's all. Nothing profound. Sorry.

I love blogging for the same reason - so much of my life recorded. And I am an open book, so I record pretty much everything.
Proud to be one of the 5 that follows you!
@babyvk - Honestly, Sadie, I think that's one of the reason I LOVE reading your blog. You're just honest about anything without caring what others are going to think (or at least that's how it appears). I like that and strive for more of that in my own life.
