19 years and counting...
I just got a notification this morning that I've been on live journal for 19 years along with a 19 year virtual gift badge from them. Omg! That's incredible. I had to come on here and post to commemorate the occasion. 19 years... that's as long as it takes for a newborn to grow up, go through schooling, graduate, and start college. I can't thank you all enough for sticking with me through not updating a lot lately and being such good friends over these 19 years. There were some tremendous roller coasters I've shared on here with you all. Good times. Bad times. Sad times. You've all been here, read, commented, and are to be cherished. Thank you!
About 3 weeks ago, I ended up getting a private message from one of my live journal friends who said they were leaving live journal and wanted to say something to me before they did. I hadn't personally talked to them for a year or two due to not being on live journal much but what they said to me brought tears to my eyes and made my day so much. It was one of the kindest and sweetest things someone has said to me in quite a long time. They said and I quote, "I'm leaving LJ. You are an amazing person and you are one of the kindest, most caring people I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I hope you know that you are wonderful and appreciated. Take care in life Autumn, and may fortune favor you, and may all the happiness of the world be yours. -Zackery" I was so taken aback at the kindness this person extended to me and am so grateful I had the chance to have them in my life for the time they were on LJ. I'm saddened that I never got the chance to ask for their email or any other social media handle so I could keep in contact with them before they deleted their journal. If this person ever reads this, just know I adore you and you're a precious soul. *HUGS*
A little life update to go along with my post. Matt and I are still together and going strong. We've now been living together 10 years and have been engaged for 8 of those years. We were set to be married 7 years ago but I had some illnesses hit me and had to postpone. Once I started to feel better the pandemic hit the world and so we never got to make it happen yet. We will be working on planning everything very soon and becoming husband and wife before you know it. We're so close and do everything together. We have so much fun and enjoy so many of the same things. I can tell he truly loves me for every part of who I am and never judges me. He's my best friend and I love him with all my heart. It's been a long time coming for me after the few duds I went through in relationships that I finally got my happy ending with my best friend. I'll keep you all up to date on things as I can.
I own my own business and it will be in it's 7th year being opened this year in July. I create and sell stickers and graphics for all planners and agendas. It is called Bottled Honey Designs. I love that I get to share my creativity with my customers (whom most have become my friends). I love what I do and the fact that I get to work from home. I've always wanted to be my own boss so I could have no limitations as to how far my creativity could take me. It's a great feeling.
I will be updating again as soon as I can. I hope you all are having a wonderful week and I miss you!
