Today my Tumblr turns 3! Which is very exciting for a number of reasons, not least of which is the fact that I’ve never before remembered to post anything on my blogoversary. This week was pretty exhausting so I’m going to keep my usual sentimental musings to a minimum. I just have to say: it is pretty crazy/terrifying/amazing to consider how different my life is today from the one I was leading three years ago. On a structural level—I’m in bed and it is 10pm, Toto we’re not in College anymore— but also on an emotional one. Three years ago, I was in the process of being consumed by the greatest grief I’ve ever known, which is something that stays with me always but is no longer visceral, all-encompassing. Three years ago, I was at the shiny new beginning of a relationship that has now been known to flounder under the weight of its own history. Three years ago, I had this baby face (yes, it is probably time to change my user pic) and no clue what I wanted out of life. (Well, still figuring that last part out, but you get the idea.) Anyway, I guess the really crazy/terrifying/amazing thing is that this ol’ blawg has a record of all that stuff, and of all the other trivial stuff that has happened over the past three years and has somehow added up to this beautiful life that I’m living. So thank you, Tumblr, for giving me the ability to know that I really wanted a bagel on February 27, 2009. What would I do without you?
