Before Thanksgiving I received a random submission from an anonymous woman with nothing but kind words and love and support. After drunkenly walking from my company holiday party to a nearby bar my coworker shares with me that she loves my blog, I had no idea. From time to time an old friend from high school sends me messages of genuine love and encouragement. Every so often my homies quote my written words and reference posts directly.

So I realized—for the past year my journey has been solo, but I was NEVER alone.

By simply reading this you have kept me company.

I only hoped to keep a chronicle of my life as I progressed through this new chapter, but according to you—you're all riding this roller coaster with me. You're there when my heart fucking aches, when I'm frustrated with men and life, when I'm in good spirits, when I fail and when I succeed.

Thank you, again and again. Its humbling to be followed by such amazing people.
