Wow, the last post on our last week of regularly posting. What an honor!
Although I’m glad that we’re making the decision to take a break from weekly posts, it does feel bittersweet. The fact that we’ve been consistently posting on the blog for a whole year is pretty crazy to me; I mostly just feel happy/grateful that I got to be a part of it.
This year has been a hard one for me. At the end of last year, I went through a break up. I won’t dwell on this for too long, but at the time it really felt like I was leaving a significant part of my life and myself in the last decade (sorry that’s quite dramatic but life is dramatic sometimes), especially because that relationship lasted for half of it. Then, I left for abroad which was exciting. And then, I came home. I don’t know, it was just a lot of feelings all at once. But I’m saying all of this to say that the blog gave me some sort of consistency at a time where I felt like I really needed some. Even though sometimes it felt stressful to make sure I got my post up, it was also nice to have a deadline and to have something to put my energy into. And through the pandemic it’s kind of been like that too.
Of course, I’m going to miss getting a peak into all of your lives on a regular basis. But, I think it’s really cool that we have what we do have documented and that we can come back to it whenever we want to.
In terms of *the future*, I can’t say I’m excited for the school year to start. It just feels like it’s going to happen and we’ll have to get through it. I know that we will though, I just feel like I’m out of practice and that I’m not in the right headspace for it. Also, it dawned on me this morning that Tuesday is our last first day. How strange.
Anyways, I think I’ll end with this poem. It’s not directly related to anything I talked about but I found it like a month ago and have been listening to it pretty often ever since. It’s called A Choir of Honest Killers and it’s by Buddy Wakefield. For the longest time I thought it was called A Choir of Honest Killer Bees but it appears not to be. I can’t tell you exactly what it’s about but every time I listen to it I get something different from it. If you want to read along with him I think someone put the lyrics to it in the comments. It should be one of the top ones.
Okay, bye for now friends! I have no pictures to share but here's a picture of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet because friendship. Also, I hope Tuesday goes okay for people!
p.s. Where’s the journal?/What’s going on with it?
p.p.s. One day we should still have our snack party :)
I liked the poem. I really liked « sir, you don’t know me. You know a mistake I made. » stuck with me. Like naoni said you ended the blog very nicely. I didn’t know you were going through so much, I wish I could’ve been there for you. But let’s make sure to keep sharing with one another and talk to you soon mama.
Lol I have the journal rest assured ;). And yeah, we def gotta have that snack party! Anyway, I don’t think you’re being dramatic— unfortunately this year you had a season of hardship. But luckily like all seasons, they always come to an end. I’m glad the blog gave you some normalcy and consistency during those times. Hopefully, now everything is more settled and peaceful and you focus your energy better on school 😊😊. I listened to the poem: it was very animated and strange but it did make me feel something. Thanks for sharing! Nice way to end the entire blog ❤️
