Congrats.
To me.
I wrote my first post here 15 years ago, October 2, 2007. I know this blog did not take off and light fires around the world of creative journaling. I know I don't get many comments. I know that most of the subscribers from years ago aren't that active here. But I have cherished the connection over the years, and the words/images here make a record of me allowing my collage world a small spot in the Universe that is the internet. Forever, I guess, until the whole thing crashes and all that remains are a bunch of paper books that I filled with thoughts and quotes and images and doodles and the detritus of a mind looking inward to keep me going.
Will the paper books will outlive the dots/dashes? Who knows?
I have no idea what my kids will do with these books when I'm gone. Probably nothing. But maybe somewhere in the digital world, maybe a small blip of my existence will live on.
Diaries and memoirs are my favorite genre, so how could I not share my own?
