Yoink, everybody. It's that time of year again.

December 10 marks the day I turn 19. I'm so old what the heck. I feel like I was 16 just five minutes ago. These past couple years sped by way too quickly.

109.) This year I decided to begin my most ambitious project yet only to disappear shortly after due to personal reasons. When I came back, I was shocked to see people didn't forget about me. That did not happen during my last big hiatus. The support I've received this year is astounding considering how fickle I've been. Not gonna lie, I'm still amazed by it 'til today. Thank you.

No matter how much I complain about how glitchy this mess of a platform is, I'll always love Wattpad. There isn't any other app or website that comes close to the joy I've experienced here. Our community, while dramatic at times, is wholesome and glad I'm part of it.

Really, I'm thankful to Wattpad for letting meet all you adorkable nerds.

Who else would put up with me posting 109 facts about myself for my birthday? 😂

Love youuuuuu ❤️💞💓💜💗
