purplehello98This year was a really great year, guys! So I thought I'd do a little blog post to review everything that's happened this year. :)
Spring semester of my freshman year was not super eventful but was pretty cool! I got to deepen my friendships with people at college and even start a K-pop club! I was busy but had a really good time. I had some crushes on guys and almost got the courage to ask one out, though those didn't end up going anywhere---and honestly, I'm glad! Everything that was meant to happen happened in time.
And then after the semester ended, I got to go to FREAKING KOREA!! I'm still so happy I got the chance to go there. I hadn't been on an actual vacation since I was probably six or seven, and even then that was nowhere near as cool as Korea! I won't go into too much detail, since my posts are up here for y'all to go read, but it was so cool and a life-changing experience that really made me want to travel and see the world! It was INSANELY cool and I really hope I get to go again!
Then I had an amazing summer. I hung out with Blue and Green a ton and we had a lot of amazing fun antics! I went back to work at a local grocery store, like I had the previous summer, and met Red, my work bestie, and some other work friends! My work life was a lot more fun than before. And, one particularly amazing thing came from that job... a really cute, really sweet guy asked me out one night! He had come through my lane before and developed a little crush on me so when he saw me a couple weeks later he asked me out. :) He became my first date and my first kiss! And that guy is now my wonderful, amazing, unbeatable boyfriend Grey!
I also had some romantic false leads---my love life was surprisingly active all of a sudden this summer! It's funny now to look back at my thoughts on those other guys at the time. It took me a bit to be sure about Grey, but now I've never been surer about anything. I really believe Grey's my soulmate. <3 Grey, if you're reading this, I love you so much! I can't understate it. Grey's so accepting, understanding, mature and loving. I didn't even know if I could ever find a guy who'd be okay with me being trans! But he's so insanely supportive about everything, and he's also a major goofball and a fellow gamer. :)
Granted, the summer wasn't perfect, even love life-wise---I did have a big heartbreak---but I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. And at least that heartbreak helped me to know that Grey was for real, and trustworthy, when we started dating. :)
This semester was realllllly busy (never taking that many credits again!) but I got to develop my club and my friendships even more. I think I'm finally beginning to see who my best friends at college are! :)
Over Thanksgiving break, after talking with Blue inspired me to seize the day---or, I suppose, the guy---Grey and I became official! And shortly afterward, we said our first I love yous. <3 It was all so exciting and still is!
I also got a hyperfixation on Legally Blonde: The Musical this semester! And I got to go visit Blue out west at his college! And finally, Verivery FINALLY had a comeback this December AND got a win for it!!!
And I got to meet Grey's family and friends recently and everything seems to be going well. :) I'm so in love with him and I'm so happy to have him. I'm also so happy to have all my amazing friends, to go to a nice school, and everything else---and to have this blog! I love blogging here and I hope you guys like reading it. :)
This has been a great year and 2026 has so much in store! If you had a good year, I'm thankful for you, and if not, I hope and pray 2026 has unexpected blessings for you. <3 I'm so looking forward to it! Happy new year, everyone! I'm off to go have lunch with some old friends and then celebrate with Grey tonight!

Agreed. I got to visit Mexico and Russia when I was in high school, and I'm still using inspiration from those trips.

Awesome. \o/
I've been working on my year-end posts, before the year-beginning ones tomorrow. There's a bunch of resources over on
