I saw Taemin live yesterday.... wow what an experience.
I had a vip pit ticket but I had been sick for few days so I kind of regretted it because I didn't have much energy to stand. The previous days I had also been doomscrolling and thinking about politics and fascism and all that. But luckily the concert ended up being so amazing I completely forgot about my discomfort.

Taemin is truly an amazing artist. He got emotional several times during the concert and so did I.

I still can't believe I saw him close with my own eyes! It felt so unreal that I'm still processing the concert. I actually couldn't sleep after the concert because I was so overwhelmed.

I listened to Taemin and SHINee a lot during covid when I was really sad and isolated.
I've talked earlier on my blog about combatting depression and the feelings of indifference and meaningless that comes with it. Having an emotional experiece always feels so groundbreaking to me. I feel so grateful. I can't believe I'm alive.

  • Read less with more intention (I'm easily influenced online and I just sometimes get overwhelmed with my tbr when i keep adding popular works that don't turn out to be not that good after all and i force myself to finish them... no more of that)
  • Reread faves, read fanfics and listen to audiodramas ( i want to explore my favorite works more rather than just "consume media" and constatly finding new works to fill the gap, which i have pretty much done this year. Part of why i started this blog was to dive deeper and log everything i have read and watched)
  • I want to read vintage GL and BL!
  • I want to read baihe
  • Continue watching queer films!
  • Play (queer) games: Life is Strange, House of Fata Morgana, The Divine Speaker (entering my gamer era in 2024?)

Some stuff I learned this year:

  • Growing your collection is a long-time process and doesn't have to be a shopping addiction. Budgeting is everything. I've decided to only buy works I've read before and know I love. Also, some stuff is fine only owing them online.
  • Involving yourself more with fandom on tumblr, twitter and going to cons makes weeb life actually so much more fun. I used to think of this as a lonely middle-school phase but after 10+ years I'm still into it!
  • Fandom is exactly how you curate it. I used to be in anti-spaces until I out of curiosity read 2ha which antis had hated on and i ended up loving it. After that I really started reading dark romance and it changed my view on the anti-proship discussion. I don't want to be part of that fight anymore. I'm an adult who knows the difference between reality and fiction and that sexuality and representation are not simple topics. Another thing I distanced myself in fandom is popular fandom "leaders" on twitter who had strong opinions and were always involved in fights. Even If i agreed with them I don't want to bring that energy into fandom.
  • I've come to love reading widely from every genre. The older I get the less I care about what other people think about the works I read.
