You. Are a wonderful, amazing, incredible, resilient person that I am so so so proud and glad I've had the privilege to meet this year. Like has thrown you curveballs and knuckleballs and just about every kind of ball it can throw, and I know that's been so incredibly hard for you. I don't know if it'll still be this hard a year from now when you read this again. I hope not, but...
But if there's anything I wish and hope for you, it's that you don't give up. Because you're everything I just said, and more. You are an inspiration and a joy to be with and you mean so much to so many people. I don't know what I'd do without you, you've become such a great part of my life. Even when I have to ask for a night off /)~(\ (You have no idea how bad I feel when I have to ask about that).
So just... thank you. Thank you for this year - 2012. Thank you for all the time we'll have together in this upcoming year. Thank you for putting up with me, my shyness and etc. For encouraging me. For being such an amazing person.
I love you so much (You know what I mean). Thank you for everything.
Gorse
P.S. ... if we haven't gotten the first chapter of the AU posted by the time you read this again we really need to work on that.

This year, you did two things for me that saved my life. You made me a promise. And when I was at my lowest, you let me know that I'd still been a positive affect for you. Both of these things mean the world to me, and no matter what, I still count you as a very important person in my life.
Things are finally at the point where they are getting better for you, and it's really great to see you so happy. In the coming year, my wish for you is that continues, and if by chance you need me at all in the future, just know that I'm here and willing to be whatever you need me to be.
Thank you for being the best Axel anyone could hope for.

I don't think I could ever repay all the kindness you've thrown my way, but I sure as heck want to try anyway. Thank you for listening to me when I really needed it and thank you for sharing your kickass opinions on Axel with me. Thank you for the gorgeous packages. Bouncing in my seat here thinking about how soon enough I'm going to have money and be able to repay you for those at least!!! Ehehe...
2012 was a really, really tough year. It's been amazing to see you power on despite everything; you've got such inner strength, even if you don't see it. I hope 2013 blows the winds of good karma your way. I also hope your silly face is still around my plurk for me to giggle at when you read this. I'm so glad I've gotten to know you better, Karikari.
Here's to another year. <3

well, here's hoping 2013 was easier than 2012, though admittedly that's basically like saying i hope something is softer than diamonds. this year just plain sucked and didn't stop, and there were times you really wanted to give up, and i know that.
but you didn't. how come? there's a lot of reasons, really--as many times as you wanted to just throw it all away, you somehow managed to remember at least one of those reasons each and every time. there's still a lot you have to do, and giving up means you never would get any of it done, and that's completely inefficient and you'd never stand for that, right?
so keep remembering those things that make you want to not give up. here, i'll make you a list:
anyway, self, this is getting pretty long now, so maybe i should shut up. brevity has never been my strong point and i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's probably still not yours either, but... in the end, maybe that isn't something to prioritize working on.
work on that anger, though. i know it's easier to be angry, because anger is strong instead of weak, it's fierce instead of afraid, but being angry pushes away the people you care about. so stop that. you don't have to be strong all the time.
work on your book too. one of them. any of them. if you still haven't gotten at least halfway through something, we're gonna have some words.
don't give up. remember, you made someone a promise. and we don't break those. commit it to memory.
love,
me from a year ago

It's kinda crazy. Not in any sort of bad sense, but more in this "buh-what?" sense. When we first started talking, it was always really sporadic and I never knew quite what to think of you. But ah-hahahaha~ Even scarier, I never knew quite what you thought of me. And for the longest time, it felt like tiptoeing, like this walk in the dark. And it wasn't really until we actually played in a game together again, brief as it was, that I feel like any distinct connection happened. I think it's honestly because that happened that we got closer than what we ever were before.
And before I knew it, it was just a lot easier to talk with you. Because I realized that in some ways, we're an awful lot more similar than I first realized. I appreciate your bluntness and your hilariously bad sense of humor. You know what kind of humor I'm talking about. Your honesty, too. And your earnestness. Like anyone, you can sometimes get ahead of yourself, but you can also step back and see the bigger picture when you ought to and learn from it. And believe me, that's not an easy thing to do (and fff many people like to just argue they were right instead).
But I think most of all, and it's one thing I've been lacking, myself, these days, is your perseverance. You've been through so much this past year. And yet through all those hard times, you've pushed your limits and made it through. And if you can get through a year like that, Kari, I really don't think there's anything you can't do. And you've proven it to yourself, right? You seem like you're really happy with your new job now. And while I suppose you have a lot of work to do with that writing, too, you'll get there. They say to never rush an artist, after all.
I hope this year has continued to be better for you though. I hope you're much happier. And- okay, a little part of me might hope that maybe we're writing together again because I really do enjoy writing with you. But even if we aren't, it's cool. I'm probably stalking you anyway. Just sayin'.
Here's to a better year.
