My birthday is tomorrow, the eighteenth of June. In fact, it's less than two hours away.
Well, congratulations, Kimby. What probably should have been your most lively year, and the most carefree one, was actually one riddled with alternating struggles and rays of happiness. You lived half of your sixteenth year on your own, surviving and being free for the first time in your life, and found a wonderful sweetheart who will take care of you whenever you're in need. Also part of your experience was losing loved ones - your parents, in a way, your previous friends, adjusting to an all-new environment forty minutes away by bus. Commuting two hours each day, forwards and back, to college.
So what has this year taught me?
Love. Learning to cope. That there are truly accepting people in this world. That sometimes, it's best to let it all out and cry.
And I survived. You're on your own now, Kimby, for the most part. But don't worry; friends and loves will take care of you, and you don't have to be unwanted and alone any more. You've earned all of this throughout the whole year. And that, in its entirety, is fair enough gift for a young girl to treasure all her life.
Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem - 'remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even'. And this will be a lesson to keep with you all your life.
You did well, girl. You did well.
I agree. You underwent hardships and have learned some valuable lessons. I am sorry to hear that you had to struggle so much but hopefully the future will be brighter for you.
ReplyDeleteForgive me for my rudeness but I've recently returned to fanfiction.net after a very long time to check up on some of my favourite authors. You said that you'd hopefully be able to write more? If so (and again, I apologise for my rudeness) but I was wondering if you intend on ever going back to finish some of your Klonoa fics (or possibly write new ones)? I've found your Klonoa fics to be some of the best I've ever read and your style as well as portrayal of character is very enjoyable to read.
Thank you for your time.
