Internet! Wow! 7 years!

First of all, I wanna apologize for no anniversary entry last year. My hiatus from late '13 to early '14 was not a particularly good time for me, and I also had felt somewhat guilty for not posting for so long. The future of the blog seemed uncertain to me, and I wasn't much in the mood to celebrate.

So, to make up for missing last year, this year we'll have TWO CAKES. Hope you saved room. And, hey, look! My name!




7 years tomorrow, on the 22nd. Seven. SEVEN.

That length of time is absolutely crazy to me. Like I've reiterated in each and every anniversary post, when I'd started this blog at age 15, I never expected it to last this long. I never even expected it to last half this long.

I honestly attribute my survival of high school to the existence of this blog. Seriously. If I hadn't had this place to just vent about everything and be truly myself, I would have truly lost it.

And all of you are part of that. To my old readers and new readers, thank you. Your support, your input, even just you reading my whiny ass novel length entries is so reassuring to me in every single way. It makes me feel like maybe I'm not so crazy, and that maybe I'm not so alone in this big lonely world. Thank you all again. I hope to remain your always-worrying-always-ranting Hopeless Romantic for as long as possible.

I intend on blogging more regularly this year again, because I miss being able to be free on here. And in celebration of this 7th blog-a-versary, I decided to finally--FINALLY--add social media buttons to the sidebar.

GASP.

I know! About time, right?? I think I may have finally brought this blog forward into the social media age, officially. Now you guys can share my blog on Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Facebook. And I hope that you will! Since I don't have the money for ads, this is the best way I can get exposure/visitors. Plus, ads suck, amirite?

I may work on adding individual Twitter sharing buttons to each entry as well. (Also I was thinking about adding a Facebook like button...yes? No? Good idea? Bad idea? Too commercial maybe? Would not getting likes on an entry feel like not getting likes on Instagram?)

Anyway, I look forward to posting often and interacting more with you guys again! Let's do this!

EDIT: I decided to make a very new, very scary foray into the social media sphere as a blogger! Follow me on twitter: @xohplssrmntc ♡
