Six Years Later

I don't know if I ever thought I would last this long.
I mean, I did think that if I started this thing, I would keep it up.

But lots of things start out that way.
The ideal is to keep it going for forever.
Yet, time marches on. Interests change. Life happens. And things that were important...fall by the wayside.

So to say in the least that I've managed to keep up this blog almost daily for six years.
That's rather impressive.

I believe the only other thing I've managed to consistently keep up on for that long (besides school) is my journaling. lol.

I suppose there's just a part of me that can't say no to writing. lol.
And a blog is an excellent place to write down my thoughts, musings, insights, etc.
A place where I can feel both like I'm writing to just myself, yet know that others could be reading this blog post as soon as I post it. :)

Six years.
Six years of blogging.
lol That's a long time.

And I'm happy that I've managed to keep it up.
Honestly at this point, I can't see myself not blogging consistently.
Of course...like I said earlier. That can always change.

But for now.
I'm going to keep it up. ^^

So whether you're visiting here for the first time.
Followed me since the beginning.
Or came somewhere in the middle.

Thanks for being there! :)

Now.
For the usual Blogaversary post.
An update on my stats!
Because who doesn't like looking at a bunch or numbers? ;) lol

So.
In the past 6 years.

I've done 2142 posts. (including this one)
Which so far has garnered me 41,658 pageviews.
Which means if I were to get the same amount of views for every post I post....I would be getting around 19 pageviews a day. lol.
Of course that's not accurate. Some days it's only 1 view, other days it's in the 60s.
And to which post will get more views....who knows. lol
