I know it’s been more than half an year since my last post, but but buttttt–to break the cycle and prevent the unfortunate birth of my 17th blog–I am back!

And you know what? I’m now living in a different state, sleeping on my friend’s couch. It’s like I’m back in 2024. (Yes, this has happened before. I know, I have great friends. Genuinely.)

I’ve actually started writing this update several times over the past few weeks, but I kept losing steam after a few words, which is why it never came together.

But today, I just felt so grateful for the people around me: my friends, my family, and a lot of people I’ve only just gotten to know. They are all so kind and willing to help, and I honestly don’t know how they can be like that.

May the situation I’m in isn’t not the best, but the people around me are helping me hold myself together. And I thank God for sending them to me.

I really don’t know where my path will lead, but I’ve decided: I’ll try my best, and accept whatever the result is. (Think I said it before in my other blog.)

So as a tribute to everyone who helped me at any point, I wanted to write this blog to thank them.

I guess hardships really make you reflect on how much there is to be thankful for, ironically. And I hope someday I can be that helping hand for someone else.
