So to be totally honest I am *thrilled* to get rid of 2018… But I figure it’s time to honor the few major highlights and the people (the ones I can tag on here at least) that helped me survive the hell year…
So without further ado-some highlights of my 2018:
January: Coming to terms with being bisexual and consequently my first couple times coming out. It wasn’t the first time I’d considered my sexuality but it was the time I finally decided to accept it despite what it meant in regards to my family and how I was raised
February: Joining a kpop dance group at my college (after refusing my friends for about a full year) that has helped me form some of the closest friendships I now have and teaching me to be more self confident and brave
March: I underwent so much turmoil this month… from leaving a group that took up a majority of my life for a while and the resulting losing a plethora of people I once considered to be friends… to hearing terrifying news that would traumatize me to this day… It was a hell month. BUT it gave me a chance to overcome these things. I worked to move on from my toxic friends… I worked on overcoming that trauma and push past it… I’m not perfect with either but I’m damn proud of how strong I’ve become
May: My college friends threw me a surprise birthday party and honestly that meant the world to me
June-August: The hell months that were nothing but absolute misery… But like March I cannot help but be insanely proud that I overcame them
September: Things started to look up as I went back to school and I secured closer friendships and started taking more time for myself
October: I got to see BTS in concert… My friends all said it was well deserved because of all the ordeals I had suffered that summer but I know that from now on it’s a memory I’ll carry with me that I can use the next time I have a panic attack or feel overwhelmed or like things won’t be ok. I breathed the same air as BTS. I heard them sing two of my favorite songs live and I got to hear the song that brought me into the fandom in the first place. One of the best days of my entire life. I also taught my first dance piece for the korean org and it went AMAZING!
November-December: I made my first film and it’s actually pretty good! Jungkook would be proud!!! But overall, I worked hard and I dealt with stress and I made myself proud. And maybe that’s all that matters. My biggest takeaway from this year is that I’ve struggled like I never have before but I made myself proud because I perservered.
Of course I couldn’t have made it through without my incredible friends who helped me every step of the way~
@alianovnaplisetsky wow your url never gets easier… You’re my little sis and I couldn’t live my life without you… I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do in 2019 and I am so excited to be able to watch you grow into someone incredible
