I just wanna start off by saying that it's been a WHILE! My laptop kinda died October 2015 so I had been without one for pretty much all of 2016, and trying to browse FA daily on a phone is near impossible. =/
A year later, finally got a laptop! ^^

But speaking of that year, it's been by far the most ridiculous year of my entire life. I got to meet three of the most fantastic people in the entire world, two of them I've known for 7 years, and one of which was entirely unexpected until the last possible minute which is one of the greatest (and scariest surprises) ever, oh my god Dx


Hoooowever, the beginning of 2016 started off pretty bad; I had basically lived in the living room on a couch at a relative's house. It was a super complicated and awkward living situation.

Not only that, but in April I was actually, haha, wrongfully arrested on felony charges and held for two days. All you have to do is scan my FA page for half a second to understand that I can't survive in jail at all. x3 I just happened to look like the person they were looking for just enough. It was fantastic, having your entire life threatened. I don't care, "you're going to be in prison for a very very long time" is way scarier than just "you're going to die." I'd rather have just been held at gunpoint or something. In risk of sounding like someone who blames mental illness, I've got some.. well.. pretty crippling anxiety. x.x it's hard to explain how bad it is. It's hard to go into detail about it, because there's just a lot, and thinking about how much there is even now is starting to scare me.
But, uh, I digress.. being arrested definitely didn't help anything at all. All I could think about was how I couldn't even tell the people closest to me where I'm going. I was just going to vanish, poof, for years and years and years. For so long that there would just be no point in them waiting for me to come back. I would be released from prison years down the line with zero inkling as to anyone's whereabouts, just as they had no insight into mine. For two days straight that's all I could think about.

Case was dismissed because I literally didn't do anything.
I was on my way to my mom's to spend the day with her the day I got arrested.
Aaaand shackles are incredibly tight, every inmate piles into the new guys cell, and yes they all joke about.. doing prison things to you. Also apparently Empire is a huge show in jail, they love it for whatever reason!


After all that, however, nothing really happened between April and September.


September of 2016 was the polar opposite of April 2016 however, seriously I can't fully explain it. I went from the lowest point in my life to the highest.

Managing to scrounge up enough money, I FLEW to New York City. I willingly allowed myself to suspend several thousand feet up in the air for several hours! In a plane! Dx For years I've been saying I would NEVER get on a plane! But I was brave, and I did. I flew to New York City to meet one of my bestest and closest and snuggliest ever friends aaaaand my daddy  Snapsy And honestly I have no real idea how to explain how amazing that week was. x//x Not only was the city wonderful in its own right, like standing on top of the Empire State building and Rockafeller Center, or in the middle of Central Park are some of the most beautiful moments of my life. There were tons of cool little places to stop and see or eat at! Like chewing on stuff at Momofuku's or a gay ice cream shop and looking at silly weirdos or cool dinos in the museums. ^^

But NYC wouldn't have been nearly as good as it was without Snapsybutt there. He took definitely knew how to take care of me. x3 I felt waaaaay more little than I had ever felt in my entire life.. for a week straight. My little side felt completely rejuvenated. I didn't feel like a grouchy adult anymore, I felt like a little cat agaiin. >.< I'm super grateful he had taken the time to care for me like he did. <3 But even if he hadn't taken care of me, it would have been a fantastic trip regardless. I've known that silly pup for 7 years now. It was a long time coming, seriously. I've spent years thinking about how one day we'll meet and hang out and stuff but never in my life expected it to be this soon or in NYC, but it happened and aaaaah! <3!!

NYC also challenged my anxiety issues a lot as well. Trying to find your way home from the middle of NYC is super scary, but I managed to get the info I needed to get on the subways and everything at just the right time to get home. I think if I had wasted about 5 minutes I would have missed my shuttle to the plane, because it departed very shortly after I had boarded. ^^; There was zero time to panic. So if I can do stuff like that - get on a plane, go explore a gigantic city, find my way home from said city - then maybe I do a heck of a lot more, yeah? :3


A month after, around the tail end of October, I was supposed to meet a super cuddly little fox. I ended up also meeting another extremely close friend of 7 years, which aaah I dunno how you top a birthday like that. Between going to NYC as a birthday vacation and meeting ANOTHER 7 year long friend as a birthday surprise, no other birthday can compete. Seriously I have a TON of making up to be doing at their birthdays .-.

So I met a cuddly cute fox, aaaaand I met a super duper cuddle little  zephy <3 Honestly, he's already SUPER cute online but irl there's no competition, he beats everyone in the cuteness factor. <3
But speaking to him irl, it's as if there was no transition between text and in person. 'Course I was super awkward at first, but once I got done being a silly kitty, I could have sworn I just grew up with him beside me or we went to HS together or something and had daily face-to-face chats. Normally meeting people face to face is awkward and conversation isn't as easy, but this was not the case at all. It was the same for Snaps as well. Since I'm super duper awkward but was able to easily start talking, that to me means the friendship is extra special in every way. :3

As for the cuddly fox, meeting him was so special in its own way that both of us left that weekend wanting a relationship. A week later, we started one. <3

Also in October I got my own apartment, renting it with a roommate and his dumb girlfriend. But now I have my own room and a bed, not a couch and a living room that's always preoccupied by a drunk grouch. ^^

The beginning of 2016 was the worst of my entire life. Months later, September and October of 2016, were the best moments of my life.
It can only get better
<3
