In Italy we say, “what you do on New Year, you’ll do it all year around”. On New Year, we’re currently picking a lock so don’t be surprised if I end up in jail within the year.
In face of such a grim face, here I am, wishing to thank a few people. Just in case.
I’ve been hanging around Tumblr for an year and a half barely, so this isn’t a long list, even more considering how little active I’ve been in the past weeks.
This year is not one of the best I’d like to remember. Something bad happened in August and I’ve been on a rollercoaster since then, feeling better and then falling down again when something else came up. I am ready to put this aside and start again, I know I need it, but moving on doesn’t mean erasing the good things I’ve got this year.
It’s always nice to keep an eye on the accomplishments you reached instead of crying over the shortcomings. I’m optimistic, I want to be positive, I want to be happy. And there are a few people that helped with that.
@simplyaverage7, my precious Seira who is always there to fight dragons for, and with, me; who pops out to ask me how I am and with whom conversations are unavoidably made *screeching* and incoherently mumbling about tumblr and real life stuff. I know you have my back, and I hope you know I have yours too.
@shadowedmiracles, whom I consider like the cool older sister that’s working abroad and calls you when she can in the evening to chat while she caresses her cat. I care for you so much you have no idea, I feel proud for everything you accomplish like it’s an honorable victory of my clan, I squeal when I see your name in my messages inbox and I love the fic recs, the comments, the discussions we have about this or that serious or not serious topic. (P.S. I also lover HER STORY which you all should definitely read, okay?!) This year I found out someone wrote something extremely bad about me, without even telling to my face, and I stumbled upon it without expecting it, so suddenly I almost had a panic attack. I ended up on the floor with my heart crushing my eardrums and unable to breath, I had to take my medicine for asthma, which I hadn’t had to use for an year before that. I took a day before answering that thing about me, but when I went I found out, this amazing person here had already showed up, all in all like a knight at the rescue, and had defended me. It meant so, so much for me you have no idea. Thank you for being there for me, really.
@courtingstars, my writing guru, making me cry with every damn update of literally whatever she writes, who cares which fandom or which pairing. I end up staring at the screen with a frown, popping my lips, sighing and then losing all coherence to leave a comment that has no even slight semblance of logic. My brain always goes “Don’t Care, She Good.” and forgets restrain. Thank you, really: thank you for writing, thank you for mentioning me in posts even if my friends now think I’m crazy because I shot up in bed screaming when I saw the notification (someone was hungover, ops, still not sorry, too happy), and I can’t even tell you how happy I am to know you want to read my stories. It’s like having Lennon telling you he wants to hear your songs.
There are many other people I’d like to tag, but I’m away for New Years, we’re still picking the lock of the bathroom, I slept on the floor and my neck is not amused but my friends are laughing and I want to be in there, I want to start the New Year laughing and laugh all the way to the end too.
So, that’s what I wish for you all, the people I mentioned and those who send me messages just to say “That character is my son”, “Please, update, I love that story!”, “You okay?” and all. I wish you all to be happy and smiling, today and tomorrow and all the way down the next twelve months. Because you all made me, happy and smiling, for the past twelve.
Now I need to go because I need the bathroom and I will get in, nice and polite or breaking the door down, I don’t care.
Stay tuned for more disasters in full Agap-Style.
