hallo everypony!! we did it!!
another year under the suns taekwondo belt >.<
pat yourself on the back or if you can only awkwardly reach it perhaps pat your head instead?
so, another holiday season has passed ( or almost, anyway... 2 days till new years eve!! ) and yet I can't believe a year has gone by.
But boy did this year happen- if I told January 2025 Wouser all the things that happened to me this year, her mouth would drop open, like whatttttt!!!
here's a little recap for you guys:
- my best friend dumped me, so I got closer with the real ones
- got destroyed by a summer
situationship(and rebounded!) - started at a new school
- got a lead in my favorite play ever ( a Midsummer's Nights Dream!!! )
... and there was probably more but tbh I have a bad memory & for a boring girl this stuff was interesting enough!
So now im wondering what 2026 has in store... im really feeling like its gonna be my year!
for now, im at home, sipping a cup of blueberry tea from Maine and listening to a Jeff Buckley album. My dad put me onto his music but I feel kinda late to the game cuz apparently every1 already knows abt this guy! \\ well no one thought to tell me and I just watched dead poets society for the first time too! it was so good, what the heck guys! not even funny that I wasn't aware of Ethan Hawke for so many years of my life. I could've survived that summer situationship a lot easier knowing he existed!!
...
As aforementioned, I was puck in my schools fall play, (just like my new icon Neil Perry) and it was so much fun bonding with everyone in the cast & crew. we invented a new tradition this year, named 'bottoms tradition' and signed it with 'the Panera pact...' unfortunately im sworn off against revealing what those mean to you, players word! hehe, its nice to be part of something.
p.s. on our official show shirts, the assistant director misspelled midsummer as 'midsumer' ! we made so many "Oh ig we r all Sumerian now" jokes it was hilarious!

So this year, my advice: find something to appreciate and be a part of, even if it's just the human race.
꧁ for this winters poems, I selected two works:
the first I find quite fitting for our current times, and it is called The Peace of Wild Things, By the American poet Wendell Berry.
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives might be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. |
and the second is by the most famous American poet of all, Walt Whitman. It I called Here the Frailest Leaves.
Here the frailest leaves of me, and yet my strongest-lasting:
Here I shade and hide my thoughts—I myself do not expose them,
And yet they expose me more than all my other poems.
I mean how profound r these poems?
Now, a little reflection on the holidays.
I feel so lucky that I am able to celebrate a time of family with a roof over my head, a place to sleep, gifts to give, food to eat, and most of all, people I love to celebrate with. How heartbreaking is it, that in this world some are not granted that last luxury and in fact have that right stolen from them?
It is for love eternal we should be most grateful for.
Maybe that's what the grinch was trying to say all along?
Have a good year.
