So, with 2019 coming to a close I can say happily despite the Holidays taking up a lot of my time, that this is the second year I’ve written Kenshin on Tumblr. As you all know, with the New Year’s, Kenshin is beyond important to me I love him more than anything tbh!
He’s my spirit animal, my favorite story, my all-time favorite character, biggest inspiration, and I won’t babble about the t-shirts and stickers I ordered along with uh maybe phone covers this Christmas / Birthday because I am thankful for the impact this series has had on my life, even in the most insane ways, it’s impacted some major decisions in the physical world that helped me find what I want to do in life!
So yes, I cannot begin to even describe how much Kenshin means to me, how much I relate to him, how deeply and profoundly I feel things about his story and how it resonates with my ongoing one…he’s just Kenshin. This incredible character whose story changed my life as the ultimate one.
Like him, I too, want to overcome my past and continue to protect my friends and family. I want to be the gentle and kind warmth for everyone I meet. I want to be a good girl, who has a mountain of a past behind her, in some ways tragic, some ways bittersweet, but ultimately looking towards the future where people who accept all my broken pieces, you guys included, are there waiting.
Thank you all for supporting me, Kenshin, and being irreplaceable mutuals, writing partners, friends, and a safe place to say quite often, ‘I’m home,’ to quote the pivotal Rurouni himself. The time we have together, I cherish, deeply, truly, and with all my heart.
So as Kenshin says better than me, at the end of the Jinchū Arc, my feelings on the coming year, and in my life as a motto I’ve held dear….and a very Happy New Year, and thank you, :
‘ I’ll go forward into a new step.. that’s stronger in force than before.’
