Author's note: Many of the posts contained within this blog are personal memoirs. They are mine. They are real. I wrote them as I experienced them. If any story is at all fictional or needs to be attributed to someone else, I will state that firmly in the first paragraph.

State of the Blog

I know a few things about this blog.  First, I know that some people read it from time to time, and I know that I appreciate that fact. I also know why I write this blog: for wholly selfish reasons, which is why I don't mind when I know people are offended or put off by what they read.  I know that some people like this blog; I know that some people find the lack of pictures on this blog unbearable and unreadable, and I know that some other people despise this blog.
I know that this knowledge is based on the assumption that what people tell me about this blog is true.
I know that I like to write about what I see, what I feel, and what I want.  I know that there is nothing unique about this, because that's what everyone writes about in one way or another.  People just like to go about it in different ways.
I know that people often want to see pictures on this blog, and I know that I always assure them that they never will.  I hope to write in a way that makes pictures unnecessary, so when people request pictures I know that I still need to improve.  Or maybe I should just attach a link to facebook for them.
I know that every paragraph of this State of the Blog post begins with the words 'I know,' and I know that the reason for this is that these words are what feels right today.  Perhaps 'I know' is a way for me to remember and reassure myself as to why this blog exists.  Again, as stated earlier, the style and reason for this post are entirely selfish.
I know that this month is the anniversary of my blog's creation.  Happy birthday, blog, and always stay true to yourself, no matter what the future may bring.
