New year - New Update. Finally...

[annabloem]

It has been forever since I’ve posted on my blog. I just checked and it’s been over a year, with a wrap-up post, just like this one. Ooopsss. But it’s a new year, so let’s see if I can keep this up. (Probably not). I daresay 2020 has been a hard year for everyone. I am no different. I just looked at my last post, and skimming it, I was quite

Hi :) I'm new to the fandom and do not really know people in LJ personally.

But I've read your post, and I just want to say, that I admire your strength, despite everything you've been through.

And while reading, I couldn't help but feel grateful to your friends as well. They've been with you on a lot of tough times, I believe they are really good friends :) The pandemic has really put a lot of barriers among people's relationships, but we're grateful we still have people who still choose to stay ♥

I hope you recover fully eventually, in all aspects. All the best ♥

Hii, thank you so much for your message. Welcome to the fandom! I’ve been kinda out of it (as you’ve read) but if you want to chat, feel free to hit me up anytime (my replies can be kind of flaky though, because of health etc.)

And thank you so much, you’re right, I’m super lucky to have the friends I do. Without them this would have been almost impossible to survive. With the pandemic it’s hard to hang out with friends much, but we have to do the best we can. ♥

I hope you’ll have a good year, and that you enjoy your time on livejournal! ♥

Thank you so much!

I hope we’ll all have a good 2021. After 2020 I feel like we all need and deserve it xD

Good to hear from you! I'm sorry things got very tough for you.
I live in Australia so if you ever do get to come here and need some help please let me know! I have friends in every state.
I hope this year gets better for you!

[annabloem]

Thank you so much! I still hope to go to Australia someday, once the pandemic is over. I had my trip booked for Cairns, and I was really looking forward to it, so maybe one day I can still go. Do you have any recommendations for things/food I should definitely try in Australia?

[penguluvs13]

Absolutely see as much wildlife and land as possible. Food, an old fashioned BBQ and damper. If you like seafood there's plenty around and its usually good. Just think what is the most chilled out way I could do this thing and your doing it the aussie way lol
If you get to go near a town get some fish and chips and sit at the beach. Just watch out for seagulls.
I will highly recommend you don't go swimming with crocs or anything though you will get a really bad ear infection. The beach should be right. Just stay between the flags and if you need help don't hesitate to throw up a closed fist and scream someone will come. If you see a snake then just don't move it will go away. Hahaha that's all I can think of for now.

[annabloem]

Yes, the wildlife looks like it’s gonna be so amazing! I also planned on going diving near the barrier reef, since that looks super cool too. I’d love to see crocs, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to actually swim with them anyway. But it’s good to know that’s not the best idea.

I love seafood so that’s something I’m definitely looking forward to. Damper is a good one, I’d never heard of it, but I love bread so it’s definitely something to try. And BBQ’s are a must.

I didn’t know throwing up a closed fist meant you needed help, so that’s super useful, thanks! If you think of anything else, feel free to let me know. With the pandemic and my health it will be a while before I can go anyway xD

It's nice to hear from you, I'm sorry this year has been on tough on you :( I'm glad to hear that you do have a good support system around you.

I hope 2021 treats us all kinder, and that you can prioritize your health and happiness!

[annabloem]

Yes, I’m super lucky to have the support system I have. I love them to bits and am super grateful to them. I hope this year will better for everyone, so we can all be happy and healthy and go out and have fun again ♥

I am sorry to hear all that happen to you and your family...hopefully you all got fully recovered...and reallywish all this pandemic to be done as soon as possible...

[annabloem]

Thank you so much. I’m still not fully recovered, but I hope things will get better this year. I hope you’ll have a good year too! And let’s hope the pandemic will be over soon~
