I keep thinking that I should write an epic post to celebrate my blog turning 10. This started as a temporary letter home from London, became a daily writing habit, morphed into a career, slowed to an occasional writing habit, and a public archive of a decade of my life. Though as I got older, I wrote less and less publicly about my inner life, so it’s a very public archive of my late twenties and the highlights of my early thirties.
Every time I try to start, I don’t get very far… here’s an incomplete list of the blog posts I would write for you, if I still had the energy to write long blog posts.
