First of all, Happy New Year! A quick note- just so you know, I don't know why I didn't start off with Day 1, but I just published it if you guys want to go back and read it haha. 

Thank you for reading this little book throughout this December and being patient with me when I got held up with school or practice or whatever- it means a lot to me that you guys are so patient when I update and are always so eager to read when I finally do. 

I want to take the time now to say a few things about last year and this coming year, so bear with me while I get a little sappy. 

There were many bad things that happened in 2018. There was a lot of loss, a lot of heartaches, a lot of painful subjects and stories. But there were also many good things, too. 

I have grown with you and you have grown with me through my stories this year. I have begun to write so much more than I have in the past few years because I've become so excited with what comments and feedback you have to offer.

I have come to recognize new usernames, make new friends, meet new people, and share my stories with a wider audience than ever before. I'm so, so incredibly thankful that my stories have spread so far- it has always been my goal to reach people and to make people happy with the things that I write. 

I cherish my art and I cherish the people who read it. I cherish my friends here and the memories we've made this year. I will continue to learn and to grow and to become a better author for you because that's all I want- to be proud of my work and to be able to share it with as many people as I can. 

Voltron ended this year and with it's ending came a lot of broken hearts. It has been a rough journey from the start, loving this show, but I know it's been a journey I will never regret. From Beat Drop to Swim With Me? to Halo 'n Horns to even this, a small Klancemas fic that took me all but a month to write, I have loved and will always love being a creator, being a writer, and bringing these beautiful characters with me through the journey of our seasons together.

The Voltron fandom has gone through a lot. I won't say that everything has been good in the fandom- it hasn't, but I know that the fans that truly love the show for what it is and for the characters it has brought to us, no matter their endgame, will continue to love and support the fan-made creations that continue to be shared across our community.

Regardless of season 8, regardless of the end, Voltron will always have a special place in my heart.

With the new year, I hope to write more Voltron, but I hope to branch out to new things as well. Maybe She-ra. Maybe Marvel. Maybe something that will emerge later in the year that we all flock to like we did to Voltron. I can only hope that this new year will bring more opportunities. Actually, I know it will. 

I hope that 2019 brings you happiness, peace, and opportunities of your own. I hope you take them. I hope you live to the fullest, this new year. I will always be here for you, even if you drift. My books will never leave and I will never abandon a work or my family here. 

My resolutions for the new year include doing more things for myself. Establishing healthy relationships that I value and where I am equally valued. Keeping a peaceful state of mind and working hard. Persistence. Confidence. Health. 

I hope that you are all able to follow the goals you have set for yourself if you have any, and to keep moving forward. Last year is last year. This year is now. 

I love you all, Fandylions. Sorry for getting sappy. Happy new year <3
