I just realized that this is the year of the dragon. I’ve been in a dragon pit. First the great doom, then being pushed into a whirlwind.

It’s august 15, and I’m only now truly finding peace. I realize there’s so much to do! I have language classes, music lessons, vocal practice, painting, crochet, embroidering, reading, journaling, writing on paper, blogging, working on Mikrokosmos, cleaning and organizing. Koo and Jimin dropped a travel blog and I’m happily catching up with them and Jin as much as I can.

I have friends who love me, friends who care. Maybe life is re-introducing me to social world because all year I’ve been going to the same places I go to alone, but with company and friends. I slept over for Festa, I went to the movies a few times, cupsleeves, concerts, eating out, the beach and water parks. I’m literally living the non-solitude life and I do like it. 🙂

I hope and intend to continue going out to my favorite places with friends and family— not alone. I did my fair share of self-dates, and now I just want to be around the people who care about me and the people I love.

Diana’s really gotten attached to either me or my chill aura room. I have a new bed thanks to my mom. It’s so perfectly high up and firm. It’s also very fancy because it can move up and down. It’s the best gift I’ve ever had. I love it, and it’s given new life and space to my room.

Today I was reading Harry Potter and I noticed how fast I can read. My head is clear. I’m not obsessing. I’m at peace.

I’m kind of winning even if I haven’t run yet because I have a date with a 26 year old Korean man that’s taller than me, who has an amicable face and personality. I’m doing this to get my toes wet. I’m doing this to warm up and to have fun. This year should include a fun date. The setting is romantic and I even have my dress. It’ll be fun! I want it to be light hearted, really.

That’s how I want the rest of this year to be: light hearted. I spent some time listening to Jung Kook sing seventeen songs, talk about nothing in particular while drinking.

It’s nice that we both didn’t wash our hair.

Anyway, one of my friends (I’m her dongsaeng aww) is taking me to see 17. They’re successful and even Koo knows their songs! I’m going for my chingu, and because I’m always down for a nice time. It’ll be my October fun event.

I saw ateez and they were hot. San and Mingi were whew 🥵. I’ve been enjoying kpop concerts all year: enhypen, TXT, Ateez, and now Seventeen. Who would’ve thought! I’m also very familiar with the venue.

So Yeah, I’m out of the dragon pit. I cast a spell and I’m wondering if I’ll fly.
