welp here we are. 2022's editing collection. i uh, did not edit, very much, this year..... i kept trying to join things and then life got overwhelming and i flaked. terribly sorry. editing is hard, sometimes, actually, especially when i feel like i have no free time or energy lmfao

you know what i did do a lot of this year? write. i wrote so much fuckin fic this year lmfao. archiveofourown.org/users/trainerlyra not to shameless self promo but check it out. do you want to read 40k post epilogue joongdok? no? too bad that's what you got. please read my joongdok fics i wrote like 70k of joongdok this year alone. god i love writing. everyone should write some fanfic it's good for the soul

but yeah idk. this year was one of my roughest but also one of the best for many reasons. i got to fulfil a decade long dream of having two of my absolute best friends red and lena at my wedding reception. red, lena, and me, in the same place, at the same time... still feels like i'm dreaming when i think about it??? and yet there are photos. i got to hug both of them. AT THE SAME TIME!! still can't believe it happened. i'm so grateful :')

i also had a rough time at work, but i got promoted this year, so that's cool! kyle is starting his own business! that's really cool!! i also got a raise recently, which i'm very proud of. umm let's see. i also started being more honest with myself re fashion. i've sort of moved away from visual kei/pastel goth and more firmly set foot into himekaji/ryousangata, which has been nice!! and kyle bought me PINK SPEAKERS FOR CHRISTMAS to fully support my pink desk set up. it is now complete. i love you kyle. mwah

oh, i got into a bunch of really excellent new media this year. read 23 books!! orv, of course, absolutely takes the cake - it means the world to me. i really need everyone to read orv. the whole story is genuinely so important. and i got into danmei! read all of mdzs and tgcf, reading 2ha and will start on svsss soon. hualian my beloved. go read tgcf it will also change your life

but seriously i could talk for the rest of the description about orv. i know it's daunting - over 1 million words - but the journey is the best i've ever had. just, genuinely, the best book i've ever read. i love kim dokja with all my heart. i love all of kdjcom with all my heart. PLEASE read orv. i will give you the og stitched together epub so you can read it. please. if you have ever felt you were the kind of person who uses a story to cope with the world around you READ ORV. it is the kindest, most genuine love letter to people who love to get lost in a story i have ever, ever read. i have never felt less alone in my entire life. i have never felt more LOVED then while i was binge reading orv for the very first time, having no fucking clue what was going to happen. please read orv it is the most impactful story in the universe and the most wonderful ever. you will feel so seen, if you are anything like me. i love you sns. thank you for writing such a kind story. i will never forget it.

anyways
it's been a year! it sure will be another year next year!! thank you to all who have supported me, everyone who has watched any of my silly little edits, who loves me, who calls me a friend. i love you all. it may have been rough, but because of the love i have been shown, i have survived. i will keep surviving. happy holidays etc. may 2023 bring you nothing but love and happiness.
