Happy anniversary to me!
Jun. 19th, 2001 11:53 pmWow...a whole year. A year ago today, I first posted to livejournal. It wasn't anything special. It wasn't even an intro post--I just dove in with the everyday schna and bitched a little about having to get up early for tennis. I didn't think much of it at first. Now, 365 days later, I love lj. I love the communities. I love getting comments. I love the interaction and the fun details of how the journals are laid out. It's great.
I don't know if I can say that livejournal has changed my life. In same ways, it definitely has, but a lot of the changes I've gone through in the past year have had more to do with me growing as a person, independent of livejournal. But I can't deny that it has had an impact on me. Like Indigo once said, I can use this journal to look back and track my emotional growth. I feel that I've grown more introspective, or perhaps I've gained a little more clarity in regards to who I am. I've always tried to be honest when posting here, and if I'm going to be honest I have to understand what it is that I'm saying and feeling. Reading many wonderful journals has prompted me to take a closer look inside and see who I really am. I am thankful to livejournal for this, if nothing else.
I'm glad I gave lj a try back when some of my #xf-romantics friends told me how great it was. I'm glad I found so many wonderful people here. I'm glad Brad and the other developers remained committed to a unique project that's gained so much support. I'm glad livejournal exists. So I raise a glass to you, livejournal. May your life be long and fruitful. Thanks.
