Blogging is cool for a whole lot of reasons, but one of my favorite reasons is that it's pretty much an online journal that catalogs weeks and months and years. If you have a blog, you'll be able to look back at it years later and see how your interests changed, how your dreams changed, how you changed.
Chances are, if something is big or important to you, you blog about it. And I just really like the idea of one day being able to type in an address and see the past years of my life--pictures, emotions, gifs, and all.
This week, I have been overwhelmed by the fact that people are actually reading my book. That's crazy to me! I mean, obviously that was the goal, but it's one thing to hope and pray and cross your fingers that something is going to happen, and a completely different thing to see something actually happen.
So here are a few texts and tweets from this week that made me stop what I was doing and just soak in the fact that this is real life.
