Wow. 100.
I never actually thought I'd reach that number of blog posts .
I'm still sick as I write this so forgive me if it sounds a bit jumbled.
The whole thing is funny, I actually started blogging because it's something my little brother had just started doing. He didn't stick with it, but he's the one who gave me the idea.
That's why I chose Blogger, that's the one that he was using.
Crazy, right?!
I've always enjoyed writing .
I've kept diaries and journals ever since I knew that you could do that kind of thing!
For awhile I was writing on my blog and in my journal (different stuff obviously).
Once I started dating Lyndon, the journaling petered out until I wasn't doing it at all anymore.
I didn't find it necessary. I was content, there was no more drama.
I got some positive feedback about my blog posts every now and then so I kept doing it.
It was a good outlet for me and my one friend told me I was a voice for our generation.
I wrote about stuff that most of us would be feeling but would never talk about.
So I kept blogging.
I made an agreement with myself that I would try to blog at least once a month.
It's been six years now since I first day down and decided to call myself "The Girl That Eats All The Chips"
Back then I was that girl. Sadly I'm not anymore.
Being a grown up means only eating as many chips as I feel I can handle.
If I eat them all I can make myself sick, I'm trying not to do that anymore haha.
Binging on chips.
So what does 100 blog posts mean for me?
Not a whole lot.
It's kind of a cool accomplishment.
And it's kinda cool that I've reached this milestone at the end of 2016.
I've got something different planned for 2017 so it's possible I will blog less, unless there is an outcry (but I doubt it)
But until then, I just want to thank all the people who have supported me in my writing over the past six years.
It really does mean a lot.
It's easy to feel like no one cares what you gave to say, so I really appreciate the people who have taken time out of their days to read my words.
It's very cool to know that I am heard.
Sometimes more than others!
The blog post about how I saved myself for marriage is by FAR my most popular post ever (if you haven't read it yet, you can do so here --> http://girlthateatschips.blogspot.co.nz/2015/03/why-i-waited-til-my-wedding-day.html?m=1 )
It has received over 2,000 views (a normal semi-interesting post can get about 600) so that has been astounding.
It's not about the amount of views though, it's just about me saying how I feel about something.
I have received both positive and negative feedback about what I've written over the years , but I've never censored anything.
Nor have I deleted anything that I've said.
It's all there , not watered down or sugar coated.
I think people respect that about my writing. Hopefully I can keep it up, it might not be in blog-form, but I will definitely keep speaking out about things that are important to me.
I still have a lot to say, especially about birthdays and friends and expectations in our lives, but I might discuss this stuff outside of the blog.
Stay tuned!
It's my birthday in a couple days, but this year I'm going to just take it as it comes and leave the discussion for another day.
Thanks again SO MUCH for reading.
Happy December.
