Today marks a milestone. This is the 100th post on Sixteen Once since I began the blog two years ago, and I have reached over 100 followers within the past two weeks. Its such a weird feeling to see that number pop up all over the blog. It has taken a while to really get this blog going, but I feel like today is really the start of something big.
For those of you who read my blog weekly, I am so thankful for your support and I would also like to apologize for those weeks that I didn't post. I had many reasons for missing some Fridays, but it was mostly due to laziness. Keeping up a weekly blog is one of the hardest time commitments I have ever made. I have never been able to keep up journal writing, so this platform has made me work really hard to come up with content that is worth publishing each and every week. It is much harder than I thought. But, after two years of blogging I have finally reached a point where I know what I'm doing, and I'm proud of what I'm publishing.
Something else crazy about reaching over 100 followers is that people have begun commenting on my posts. beforehand I had one friend who commented a few times, but now there are people I have never met before telling me about themselves and what they think of Sixteen Once. It is such a good feeling hearing what real people think, and I would love to hear from more people so that I can learn how to make this a blog that they really want to read. This blog is as much for me as it is for my readers, and there is no better feeling than knowing that there are more and more people out there taking their time to visit this page (and I don't have to force them to do it).

I just wanted to take this week to thank everyone for supporting me. This is the first week where I really feel like Sixteen Once might be going somewhere, and it is all thanks to you. It took some time to hit the ground running, but now that I know that there are people out there, who I have never met, who care about me and what I have to say, It is only going to make me and Sixteen Once stronger and better. I do this for myself, but I also do this for anyone out there who will listen.
