It doesn't feel much different to me really. I spent new years with Brandin, Joyce, Brandin's friend, Corey, and Brandin's sister, Elizabeth. It was really fun; I haven't laughed that much in a long time. For the rest of the time I spent there, Brandin, Joy, and I just hung out. It was cold as hell, but we had fun. I wrote a few poems that I like, too.
I miss both of my friends already. I hate being so far apart from them so much. They say that home is where the heart is, and so my heart is where ever Brandin is. My heart is with him, so he's my home.
We'll be going to Ohayocon again. It'll be a year since I met Brandin; I met him there last year. A lot has happened since then, and I have one or two regrets. But for the most part, I wouldn't change a thing about the past year. It's been hard at times, but it's done, and I'm still here. I'm happy too. Really happy. I have wonderful friends, and a boyfriend who loves and respects me. I'm so lucky.
So here's to the new year
