How sweet of them.

Tell them I'm doing better, and that I'll be extra careful before ever considering dating anyone again. But that I'm not totally hanging, and that I'm hooking up casually with some interesting guys I met, all very carefully, of course, I'm too young to be a mamma.

Thank them for worrying about me, for me. It means a lot, it's more than my siblings asked me, hahaha.

Nein, it's not Party Monster, but it's one of my favorites. Try again next year. Regardless, I genuinely doubt you'll ever get it right.

You also enjoy k-pop? What the hell? You've got to be joking. You ain't human, you ain't real, no way.

And you even like anime? For real?

What's next? You'll tell me your favorite anime of all time is none other than One Piece?

That's rubbish!

You are a Percy Jackson fan? Oh my God, me too.

I read them while growing up, I also read the Kane books, and Magnus Chase too. Seems like I'm winning. My favorite characters of the entire Riordanverse are Leo, Percy, Apollo, Nico, and Annabeth. Lord, it's nostalgic talking about this.

Nowadays I'm packed with lots of professional things, and all people talk to me about is related to that, it's exhausting. I'm feeling knackered, but I guess it's part of what I wanted, and well, I'm also chuffed to bits with what I'm doing, I really enjoy it.

But it takes a lot of me, especially because I haven't been doing this for a long time, I'm still getting a hang of it, and I don't want to disappoint my grandma, she's counting on me, on my skills, and she trusted me with this.

It's why she understood why I couldn't be there for Christmas.

Those boring things aside, yes, there are more Bridgertons books. And yes, the books I'm used to reading as of right now are too dark, the type to have two to three pages of trigger warnings, be heavy of the dark kind of smut, heavy on aggression, heavy of lots of stuff that newbies on the bookstan society are not ready to read just yet, mate.

Maybe in 2 to 3 years if you don't get to that dark alley alone.

Now I'll go, A.

Enjoy your holiday with your girlfriend.

I hope 2020 will be the best of our life yet.
