How are you all? It's been so long. Christmas has come and gone... and it's the last day of 2021. I'm a poet and didn't even know it.
I'm back home now and no longer traveling. I've adjusted, and it's lovely seeing all my friends again. I've done barely any writing. I don't even know what to write now.
I saw an old friend a few days before Christmas. We used to write stories together a lot. She was into romance and anime and most of her stories had characters with Japanese names and plots revolving around reincarnation and meeting people in the next life. We had completely different styles, and I can't say her influence did any good to my writing - my stories in that period were the worst I've ever written - but we had fun together. I enjoyed my friendship with her. I told her a lot of things I didn't tell anyone else. It's funny how candid you can be over email. For a time she was one of my closest friends. But then we stopped writing. I should have written to her more. I have so many penpals, and I haven't written to any of them in months, apart from Eloise. I should try harder. I've been too lazy. Friends are important, though lately I've been feeling like I just want to let some go.
Speaking of Eloise, I've been developing something: The Ballad of Beloise. It's a playlist currently consisting of two songs, Next to Me by Sleeping at Last followed by West, also by Sleeping at Last. Yes, I am kind of obsessed with Beloise - that's what I'm calling them from now on - right now. Eloise is the first friend I've had that's actually in love! This is movie material, people! And she is one of my best friends.
