Update: 5 Things On The 5th (April 2020)

I was actually thinking to myself last night, being 32 is more exciting than being 31. I think it's because I'm really ready to leave the past year behind. There is so much that has happened that me at this point last year wouldn't even recognize me. And it's not just because I finally got new glasses this year. I think I really made the changes that I needed to.

That said, now I have to try and scrounge up five things that happened this month because I literally did not leave my house:
  1. I started doing my therapy online. I was a little nervous at first, but thankfully it worked really well.
  2. Oh! I did Camp NaNoWriMo, and I wrote a novella. I will share it at some point, just not now.
  3. On that note, I had a friend start a writing challenge, and I worked on it. It very nicely kept me busy for a good long while, to the point where I actually posted it on my Wattpad.
  4. I wrote a little bit of music, but you didn't hear that from me.
  5. I got into a new K-Pop boy band, but mostly because they are also under Big Hit, and because I know that means they're safe. I'm not sure it will ever stop being triggering, but that's ok.

God - The Thing I Did, And The Person I Told

Tonight I have a story to tell, but it must be told in fragments, with ripped out pages where the rest of the story should be. Why? Well...to be honest, the story behind this post is not one I should tell. To anyone. It is a story that, to this day, very few people even know exist. And for my own security, I would like to keep it that way. Rest assured that I did not do anything illegal, and what happened more regards my relationship with God and the way I used to see it than any actual physical act committed by myself. In fact, thinking back, I didn't actually do anything physical. But the telling of this story is still important, and you'll see why in just a moment. -- We are humans. When we see something that glitters, we want to chase after it. It's often in the act of chasing that we forget about God, running far away from God looking for a beautiful butterfly, or a lightning bug at night. And when we finally catch that thing that we longed for so much, we turn...

Update: 5 Things On The 5th (September 2018)

A little behind again with this, as I actually thought about it the day of -- and then proceeded to get slammed at work. That's how life goes sometimes. Anywho, this is my monthly list of 5 interesting things that happened, or 5 things I was able to accomplish in spite of my own busy schedule. When I look back ten years from now, I want to see all of the cool things that happened to me in this period of my life. I started posting spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment videos of myself playing piano on Instagram! You can follow them here. You don't have to, like, follow me or anything, but it's still something I'm kind of proud of. On that note, I really got into the hang of posting more J-Pop covers. The catch is that nobody knows where they are yet! They're out on the Internet somewhere (which means they're on SoundCloud) but only one person knows my username (Mikkun). I'm doing that on purpose. I want to sing, but I don't want to over-promote myself and b...

Speed: Why I'm (Still) A Roller Coaster

On August 16, 2005, I became a roller coaster. Now, I should mention before that I’ve written about this before. On my old website, I posted an entire series about a bunch of weird things that happened to me in the summer of 2005. It all culminated in me thinking I became a roller coaster. And while I can most certainly say I’m not a hunk of metal four hundred and twenty feet up in the sky, I have a better understanding of why I claimed that as my identity for so long -- and why I’m daring to reclaim it. Buckle up, folks, literally. By the time you’re done with this post, I will not be the same. -- Since the original post is no longer live, I’m gonna pull a couple of things from it and post them here. We go back to August 16, 2005. I was seventeen years old, at Cedar Point with friends, and the day was ending: Solo queue time was a time of reflection. Just four months earlier, my father had condemned me (for being a lesbian) and my mother had misunderstood me. Since then, God had chang...
