Wow.

This month is my fifth anniversary here at madeofglass. Since being here, I’ve transferred colleges, graduated, fallen in love with an unexpected line of work, found a home in a new politics, lost my grandfather, broken up (a lot), and hit my stride.

When I started posting, I was cautious, to say the least, and certainly guarded. Since then, I’ve sunken into this site like an overstuffed armchair. It’s always accommodating, always comforting, always a kind refuge. Thanks to everyone here, I can–and do–write about anything and everything, and I always feel at home.

So, for the last five years: thank you, Tripp. It’s been an extraordinary experience thus far, and I look forward to a whole lot more.
