One year ago today, my sister, dandelion-fireworks​, and I sat down in our living room and started this blog for me. Today, I have 55 followers, plenty of which are people I know in my life, or inactive accounts that never have any activity, but all of which still matter to me. I guess this is just a little thank you to all the people who follow me, the friends who have been following my account from the beginning and the new friends and relationships I’ve made since starting.
My life is very different from then. I throw many hours per day into scrolling pointlessly; I use Tumblr to communicate a great deal with my datemate; I have a special little look into the lives of the people I care about; I’m more aware of social issues and happenings than I ever was before; I now have a daily source for information, humor, and entertainment, and I have a platform through which I can share these things. Overall, I feel closer to the world and the people in my life.
