There is about five hours until 2018, so that means that its time for my annual, sappy end of the year post.
I really thought that 2016 took a toll on me, but honestly, it was 2017 that nearly broke me and took me right down with it. Once again, I’ve been lucky with the friendships I have continued to form on here and the continued outpour of support. You guys have made this hell year worth it and let me know that there is diamonds in the rough. There have been several negatives this year (me quitting cosplaying, my mental health taking a bad turn, me nearly quitting here a few times due to the toxicity and negativity, losing or having distances in friendships, ect.) but the positives outweigh the negatives of this year.
It is hard to believe that Peter left Doctor Who this year, though he did leave with one hell of a season and Christmas special. Doctor Who was one positive thing this year that kept me afloat, as well as the new people I met thanks to it on here. There was also the success of sending his award and scrapbooks to him. It is just a matter of knowing if he got it or not.
Another positive thing and accomplishment is that I finally finished Love and Space Dust. I honestly thought I wouldn’t have any new fics published this year, so to have not just one, but two fics published is a big deal to me.
The next positive and great thing, that I have been keeping very quiet is about, is that @the-lazy-cat-bakes-souffles invited me to take part in @theuntoldadventuresblog aka ’The Untold Adventures.’ It is a privilege to be able to be a part of it with such a wonderful and creative team. I am so excited to be a part of this project!
Lastly, all of my friends I have made this year and those I am still speaking to this year were the best things about this year.
Thank you @floofytwelve for all that you’ve done for me this year. For encouraging me to make and take on the Twelve Countdown project on @starttheclock, for being my partner with it and helping the project come into fruition. Thank you for help keeping me sane and my head high by being a positive voice within the loud and unbearable voices of negativity. I can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for me in this short amount of time we’ve known each other. I’m so glad I met you this year and wish that we would’ve met much sooner.
I’m so glad to have met you as well, @lullapiee. Both you and Ruth helped me so much this year and were so kind, I mean you both made me edits on my birthday when we still didn’t know each other for very long. You listened to me and wanted to stand up against the negativity with me. I cannot thank you enough either for what you’ve done for me.
