Biggest plot twist of my 2024 is SkyNani/High School Frenemy.

I would've never thought I would like it more than my ult ships' shows (JD's The Heart Killers and YW's Jack & Joker) that I've waited for so long.

Hell, I would've never thought I would like it more than my top 1 BL show of the year - The On1y One (I was so obsessed with it! I'm still waiting for S2 announcement🧎‍♂️).

2024 Reflection ˚₊‧꒰ა 🎀 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

2024

Looking back on 2024, I realize that it has been a deep and thorough process for me. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the year felt like it went by both fast and slow at the same time. So much has happened in what feels like no time at all, and it’s honestly been hard to sit down and sort through everything—everything I’ve experienced, learned, and endured.

If I had to sum it up, I’d say 2024 was a mess for me, but it was one of those beautiful messes. Life kinda… threw me into the fire—whether it was through challenging situations at the university I atttend, the people I’ve met, or the events that unfolded (personally, academically, or even on social media). Challenge after challenge kept coming, and there were moments I seriously doubted I’d make it through.

But somehow, here I am, stronger for it.

On top of everything, I’ve had to take a big step back from social media this year. I just needed to escape the constant chaos and take time for myself—time to enjoy being me and write at my own pace. Honestly, with all the writing events and prompts I’ve been doing, I’ve realized just how much I really hate writing with deadlines. Deadlines and I? We’ve never been a great match, even though I always try forcing it though, lol. It’s always a struggle to get everything done on time, and it just adds so much pressure. It’s like I’m constantly worried I’m not living up to what I promised I could do. Too much stress, you know?

As much as I love writing, deadlines definitely suck the fun out of it for me. But on the bright side, I do love writing one-shots. So, after giving it some thought, I’ve decided I probably won’t join many writing events in 2025—except for the Halloween one I’m doing with my sister.

But anything other than that? Nah.

I’ve got a ton of other projects I need to focus on and actually finish, so I really need to buckle down and get really serious about them.

✨Looking back, 2024 has been a wild ride, and there’s so much for me to reflect on and document from this crazy adventure.✨

Conclusion ˚₊‧꒰ა 🎀 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

2024 been such a wild ride—pushing my limits, finding new passions, and working on becoming a better version of myself. It hasn’t been easy, but I can’t deny that 2024 came with its share of fun and meaningful moments too. Honestly, it felt like holding up a mirror and seeing myself in a way I never have before. Every step, no matter how big or small, has helped me grow into someone stronger and more balanced. 🌸🧁🌷

Also, this is me responding to my last reminiscing post for 2023, I wouldn't say 2024 topped 2023, so here's hoping 2025 does it ( I graduate from college this year too, so I already feel like it will, hehe)

So, I'm truly looking forward to all that lies ahead!

#Goodbye 2024

✨Happy New Years! ✨
