dear livejournal,
it's our 10th anniversary today! i admit i realized this kind of by accident, as you have been hard to pin down lately. but you're back, and we've had some great times together, so i'm going to focus on the good times.
i never kept any kind of consistent diary or journal before you, even in my angstiest teenage and college years. but since we've been together i've become a person who takes the time to write down at least a little something trivial - but also, let's be honest, more than a few long, soul-searching essays - basically every single week. or sometimes several times a day.
in the last decade i've made some of my closest friends in the world because of you, or kept people i've known even longer closer than i could have imagined. and no matter where else i might wander off to, none of the other places feel like home the way you do.
ten years from now i fully expect to be jet-packing around through space and time and using some fancy iThink device that reads my mind and spits out perfectly constructed sentences with none of my usual parentheticals. but we'll always have this first decade to look back on. you've barely changed, but you've always been there.
xoxo,
we.
