looking at 2023, Now onto 2024
a year ago
Its that time of year, well I'm a little late to it, but making one nonetheless. I nearly didnt do one of these for this year, but i do like to enjoy and look back at all these previous journals I have made and see how much has changed. But anyway 2023 was...
better...
2022 was one of the most difficult years of my life. And at the end of that year I thought to myself... is it going to get any better? Am i gonna struggle like this for the rest of my life? 2023 was a year where i was able to put myself in a better headspace, at least for the most part. I still had moments where i felt like I was useless and a burden. But i felt like I was much more open, and talked to people about my struggles that year, rather than completely fighting a battle by myself. I dont really look back at 2023 and think of the moments where I struggled, unlike 2022, where I remember exactly what happened, and when it happened. The only thing that had such a huge negative impact on my life in 2023 was when my nan passed away. Someone who I was able to always speak to openly in my family about anything I wanted to, and although i have a lot of family who will help me with certain struggles, not everyone understoof them like my nan did. She was someone who would do anything for anyone! I will miss her dearly, but she is no longer suffering and she can now rest.
I did a lot of travelling! I visited South Korea. something I didnt think would ever do in my life, but given the oppourtunity to do it, i just had to take it. Thank you
Goobie for housing me while I was there and looking after me after alcohol poisoning. I had so many great experiences there! And as I was returning back to the UK, via Finland.... i had an allergic reaction on the plane, and honestly... i really thought I was going to die. I look back at that one moment and laugh about it now, but I cannot explain just how terriefied I was in that moment. High up in the sky, thinking I was about to die. And would have to make the plane do an emergency landing or something and disrupting all the people on the plane, weirdly the biggest concern on my mind at that time, guess that just my Britishness showing there.
I also managed to attend 3 furry conventions in 2023 too! Starting off with Scotiacon with
Null_Demon,
waz653,
BlueMoo,
AtrocityAtWork, and
Takeh. A also seea couple of familiar faces there too! Also, first time I have visited Scotland as well! UK officially complete now! But Scotia was a nice calm con, it wasnt too hectic and mostly just had a chill time! Then went onto Confuzzled with
Null_Demon,
waz653 and
Koryvali! And managed to meet some more cool people and familiar faces such as
Dolbycore,
TastyTales,
Azareus,
Mikhailchip and many more. just to name a few! Felt sad leaving this con as I had to leave a little early, couldnt get all the time off I wanted for it! And then lastly I got to attend Anthrocon for the first ever time. And my gosh! I loved it! That same feeling when I attened MFF for the very first time! I had a blast, going with
BlueMoo and meeting up with
spencemrlolcat who drove us through a bunch of US states to get to AC! A very cool journey where we stopped off at a town called Paw Paw, and bought moonshine! And of course meeting so many at AC such as
BluuTheFerret,
ZoruaND,
makar-ro,
Kiba845,
Nylla,
BillyBob11432,
Gyroball,
Renkindle etc. again, there was so many of you, i simply cannot name you all! And then after AC we quickly met up with Leafy too!
Throughout the year I also got moments to hang out with
Jakryth/
Ferax, on some occasiuons,
Auxy and
Bakap, at London Furs Meet and
VoxelCubed when they came to visit with others already mentioned.
So, 2024. May not be as packed as last year, or will it, I dont know? But Ill be attending Scotia, Confuzzled and Anthocon again! And maybe Eurofurence too???? Also I should also be visiting Turkey for a family holiday! Im also trying to get a fur suit too!
An lastly, I am Non-Binary! Which has made me incredibly happy since being open about that now!
