Webbiversary 5.0
Happy Birthday, thereafterish.! However belated…(12 days). But that’s very Maeko, to be late. Less than fashionably late. It’s how I roll.
On 1/8, thereafterish. completed its fifth year. I am now into my sixth year writing, discussing and ranting on this website, and well into my seventh year blogging overall. It’s been quite a ride!
I’ve gone from constant raging tirades against the injustices of human nature, diatribes dedicated to how I’d been stifled, jilted, slighted, mistreated, blahdidiblahdityblahblahblah–to constantly writing about love and posting my fiction and essays–to photowhoring–to documenting my fledgling running exploits–to greening up my style and trying to get people to agree with me–to fashion camwhoring. I guess really when it comes down to it, my site has evolved or devolved with my own mental/emotional progression and maturation. It is, after all, a reflection of myself, a verbal, digital portrayal of my character.
Ergo, thereafterish., whatever she is now, from the schizophrenic, bi-polar freak of nature that was my first version, “You Have My Permission to Stalk Me” (maeko.org 1.0), is a digital insight into who I am as a person now versus what I was when I started out.
I hope I have five more years with thereafterish., and that she continues to grow and reflect exactly who I am or who I wish to be, and that my readers and friends can grow with us together.
Thank you for coming back, those few of you who read on a reg. Please continue to visit and help me continue to evolve and learn as much as I can from the beautiful, complex creatures in this crazy world. This site would not be what it is without your input and perspectives, and neither would I be who I am (to a degree) without the influence of my readership and friends.
So again, my most heartfelt thanks.
Y’all come back now, ya hear!

Belated Blogiversary! 5th??? Yay for you for keeping up with it for so long! It’s wonderful to have a record of your milestones, experiences and thoughts and have your blog reflect how you evolved these last few years and how you will years to come.
Cute hat btw!

Happy blog birthday! I love everything you’re wearing, but especially the big coat and the gray vest.
