hiiii~ randomly decided to start the new year with a novelette about new year xD
i know the holiday season is usually welcomed with fireworks but that's not the case for everyone. may mga nag-resign, nawalan ng career opportunity, may mga nag-pasko nang malamig, and more wahaha.
"new year blues", this novelette, is my way of acknowledging, celebrating, and mourning everything that's happened the past year.
. . .but this is also me staying hopeful for a more gentle 2026.
#nybWP one's pretty bleak and angsty but I hope you love it all the same.
happy new year
