Well, I think that we all kind of evolve through being here and that the reasons we are here tend to change over time. Like for me, when I first started, it was more for a sense of community and to learn. I feel like I did that (and continue to do that) a lot in the beginning especially. Once I felt comfortable walking my path, walk I did! I walked and walked.
One thing I do like doing here is documenting my journey. I remember when I came here I was reading many blogs and just learning from different people's experiences. One thing I swore I would do some day is return the favor. So...here I am. I started documenting at the very beginning and now here I am two and a half years later (wow, has it REALLY been that long!!) and I feel like I'm getting near the end of my journey. Now, that doesn't mean I'm leaving or anything, I just find that the urgency I used to have, the frantic angst that would fuel late-night blog entries and what-the-heck-am-I-supposed-to-do-now moments has really not been around.
I remember thinking how I'd never know what my life would be like in the future, like I was just unsure how everything would turn out, but I hung on to my faith in myself and my perseverance to get through anything. I had and have awesome friends who have been there every step of the way and that's helped too. Nice question Julie
