You know, using the same email address I have been using since I was a freshman in high school (when Google first came out -- yes, i'm old) is both...reassuring to many people I know........but also........frustrating in a way lol

There isn't a day that goes by (literally, it happens almost every single day) - that i don't receive an alert that my email address was found in some dark web breach.

Now, normally i'd be concerned w/ this - after all, if the email address is there, chances are OTHER information is there too - but then, I think.......i've had the same email address since I was 15 years of age lol 28 years, it's been the exact same email, so obviously i'm going to be in many breaches.

Good thing I use 2FA for most everything, and keep my passwords strong and secured - not to mention so hard for me to remember that I have to use a service to remember them lol
