What year was your favorite year? Mine was 2009 even though it was the cringiest online (forums, Ourworld, MunizOnline, the list can go on forever) I discovered Korean music, finally developed a style, and found my musical roots.
I’m so sorry this is such a late answer! But it took me a long time to figure out an answer, and once I did, I wanted to wait until the official end of the year so that I can go ahead and say 2016.
Though there were many, many, many downs - A LOT of shit that happened - there were also some ups that I certainly wouldn’t want to change for the world.
For one thing, I became a legal adult this year, and with it I have slowly started to yearn for (and in a few ways become) independent. I also finally graduated high school (it felt like it would never come lol) and got to vote twice (even though my voice was not heard either time). I even took a much needed month-and-a-half-long vacation to get out in the world, visit family, and finally meet my best online friend of 4-ish years, @chaotic-ginger-assassin! I love and miss you bby <3
I also got into Korean dramas (thanks to Ginger) (which took over much of my life) which led to finally getting into BTS (thanks to Ginger and @yoongibun over the course of several years lmao) (which has somehow taken over even more of my life lmao) which both contributed to finally finding a dream, or at least setting a goal for the future, to study abroad in South Korea. I’ve even started trying to teach myself some Korean! Though I was naive when I set the goal and had originally hoped to be heading to Korea around now, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to accomplish it during this next year, but that’s what I’ll be working towards from now.
I also can’t forget to mention that I’ve made 2 new best friends this year through our love of BTS and I’m so happy to have met them, @haveyouseenmybias and Tamie. We had a chance meeting online but we all just somehow clicked instantly even though we’re pretty different, kind of similar to the boys. Thank you both for making my last half of the year filled with happiness and fun times, and filled with friends once again <3
As 2017 begins, hopefully most of the shit can be put in the past. As the years go on, I’ll probably forget most of it. But I won’t forget most of the good stuff, so that’s all that matters. So goodbye 2016, I won’t forget you, at least not the important and good things you gave me. Happy New Year everyone!
(As a side note, I also was on Ourworld 2009 or 2010 lol are you who that makes me think you are? Come talk to me off anon either way if you’d like!)
