Happy new year, 2018~! From Saya and Ecannus! 🎉
Wow. It’s hard to believe 12 months have already passed...somehow it feels as if time has sped up!
This past year has been...well...
Hell, to put it plainly. <(￣ ﹌ ￣)>
It felt as if little to nothing went in a positive direction, for me at least. A lot of drama happened between myself and a number of people I’d considered friends, not even counting the ridiculous amount of stress my home situation was constantly placed under.
Opportunities that I’d hoped would come through never did...
It just felt like a time of things...ending, you know?
Groups closed, friendships ended, health issues worsened...pets died. And I’ll not even get into about how paranoid I am living in a country with a sociopath for a president. u___u
Everything just felt wrong.
But...there were sparks of good as well!
The friendships that did last, deepend intensely, creating the kind of bonds that last throughout lifetimes. ♡
The situations at home never got as bad as they could have, and I’m extremely grateful to still have every one of my loved ones.
And towards the end of the year, this beautiful Yume no Sekai project and blog came about, creating a little hub where I could forget about all that negativity for at least a small while~ And share things with one of my best friends whenever I wanted.
I found a new direction to go in with my life~ And work enough to help out with things as they came up.
So on that end...I’m happy with how 2017 went.
I’m extremely hopeful for the future, now. And I feel more confident in myself as a person. My resolutions for 2018 will be to be more positive, to go at my deepest goals 110%, and to be more ‘present’ in my loved one’s lives, rather than letting my depression beat me into silence.
I want to do more, and stop telling myself I’m under qualified to enjoy meeting people or seeing beautiful places.
I want to grow as a writer, as a friend, as a person.
And I want to share as much as I can with you guys, the people who see my blog and spend a bit of time here! Because ultimately, it’s sharing and connecting that makes me happiest.
I hope to see you all soon! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
