Hey Minolyn, It's been a pretty long while since you were last on... same here. How've you been? Life been treating you kindly? It took a hot minute to remember your username. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I didn't forget my number aha Looking back at all those years ago I'm extremely thankful for you. Your patience, enthusiasm and encouragement was very much appreciated haha. I quite obsessively clung to your blog every morning to see if you replied. Now recalling how tough life might've been for you, I needed to come back to know how you were. Maybe it's fate that you're not active here anymore? For (hopefully the) better, you live your life offline, or online elsewhere We were talking back when I was a student taking my national exams in 2015. Since then, I've had 4 jobs, the start and end of a 5 year relationship and.. well a mostly uneventful life actually I wonder if you're still into Ylvis? If you're comfortable with sharing, how did you and your boyfriend till present day? How did your music and flair for singing go for you? Sorry I dropped off both the fandom and tumblr as a whole around 2016. If you do or don't reply to this, I hope you eventually see this and know that you made a positive impact in someone's life. I don't remember everything vividly as I'd like, but maybe you'll be happy to know your posts created a lot of joy and laughter for me back in the day. You done did some good in this world :D Lovingly from Your Lil' Ol' Anon, 4
My goodness. Ask formatting sure has changed in.. Jesus, 7 years.
Hey nony.
What are the chances I'm awake this late in front of the computer right when you happen to message me? I'm not usually up and checking emails at this hour anymore. I admit to having to go back into my tags to remember which one of you was number 4 (man, there were a lot of you for a while there). You're the incredibly self deprecating one with the insightful, thought provoking questions. I hope you at least think better of yourself now.
I'm not completely offline but I have abandoned tumblr, and I am significantly more thoughtful about what I share online, to the point I'm not thrilled I have no choice but to reply to you publicly. If you do want to keep talking, I'd appreciate if you considered going off anon so I can choose to respond privately. But I understand if you're still not comfortable with that. It is important to me to reply to you, in any case.
Odd to sum up seven years like that, huh? Jobs, relationships.. the things we consider socially relevant in the summary of our lives. I hope you enjoyed at least some of that work and love you experienced, that you carry with you the best of them, and managed to shed away the worst.
I'm not "into" Ylvis anymore, I suppose. Although, I'd be lying if I said one of their latest songs isn't on my current playlist (Ferjao). But it was the only one I liked out of that batch, and I only listened on Spotify, didn't bother with watching the actual show or whatever they call that project. I don't do much singing these days, aside from car ride singalongs of course. Mr. Mino has been my husband since 2018, we're still going strong, sticking together like glue through good times and bad.
I will share, because it has actually felt odd not to, that we lost our dear, beloved Venus six weeks ago. She was 13 years old and succumbed to the final stages of chronic kidney disease, very common in elderly cats. I am still devastated and struggling to figure out my life without her after having her be such a major part of it for 11 years.
Nony, thanks for you sweet words. It always feels good to know I've made a positive difference in someone's life. This blog and the things that happened here were also very significant in getting me through a very hard period of my life. I'm glad it wasn't just for me.
Take care, sweet thing.
