Wise New Year, my dear Crystals ❤️
It’s been quite a while since I last came here. From continuously updating RM 0.5, to planning to end it in December 2025, and then having drop that action because of a family emergency ; I ask your forgiveness first. It feels like there’s always one thing or another, and I lose the will to continue writing. Not the best trait for an author, I know — and I accept that.
How have you all been? I hope you stepped into the new year peacefully.
I recently learned that last year was said to be the Year of the Snake ; a year of shedding old skin. By that, I mean letting go of unhelpful habits, beliefs, and patterns. A year where we begin to see the world for what it truly is, and where we strengthen our boundaries.
This year, they say, is the Year of the Horse ; a year of action, building, and movement. If last year was preparation, this year is about execution.
I don’t know much about these ideas, but last year truly felt like shedding to me. And no, I don't believe in instant happiness or miracles this year either. What I do hope for is something simpler ; that we all stay safe and at peace. That when obstacles come, we allow ourselves to be messy, walk right through them, survive, learn, grow and then sit again — safe and at peace.
Once again, Wise New Year, my dear people.
-Your Rain
(P. S. besides my mom and my dog, you're the only one whom I wished. So do know that I really appreciate your presence here. Tc)
