acadia is gone.

Over the past little while, I've been toying with the idea of changing my blog's name after years of it being thnks fr th mmrs (if you haven't figured it out yet, it's read as: thanks for the memories). With the chance at a new start, a new adventure, and a new story, I thought it could do with a new name; a virtual facelift, if you will.

For someone who's as resistant to change as I am that's quite the step, especially since I finally caved and gave it a "grown up" web address last year. I love my little electronic home, and I love being well-established in it. I've spent a decade (a real, live, decade!!) working and molding it into what it has become. Reading through my old posts feels like walking through my past, and I can always come here and feel sad, nostalgic, giddy, excited, scared, embarrassed, proud, or sometimes an odd combination of all of those things within the span of a couple hours. I love being able to watch myself grow up time and time again. I love being able to write freely and to change my format whenever I please. I love not being asked what the address for my blog is anymore (I'm comfortable in my little cocoon of internet anonymity, especially with sites like Facebook ruling our lives these days). It's been a long road of trial and error, of growing up and maturing, of developing my skills and being completely raw. I revel in the contrast of spending hours upon hours on one single post to when I quickly type something and hit 'post' before I can talk myself out of it. I truly love this space.

For someone who's been as unsettled as I have over the past months, I'll take whatever feelings of 'home' I can get. And that's why, for now at least, thnks fr th mmrs will remain.
