An open letter to a brilliant soul

Adam, It is difficult for me to write this, partly because I know it may never receive an answer. That is all right; none is required. I am not even certain whether writing this will bring me closure. I simply wanted to say something honestly, rather than leave it forever unspoken. The truth is very simple: I wish we could have been friends. I know things did not unfold well. On the internet, on social media of all places, much is lost in translation, I regret the ways in which I may have contributed to that bad impression I did cause. So much can be lost in translation on the internet, especially when people meet one another at uncertain moments in their lives. I know that I may have made, unfortunately, a bad impression, and for whatever hurt or discomfort I caused, I am sincerely sorry. I sometimes imagine that, without my anxiety and the repetitive patterns of OCD, I might have appeared differently to you. Perhaps I would have communicated with more calm and restraint, grace, no ur...

Song of the week! In which we talk about the Ballad of Flemmingrad!

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you and good afternoon as well! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope everything is fine for you! As for me, today is a calm day of Friday, things are hot as usual, but the ventilator is on, so I should be fine, I'm planning on writing a chapter on my story, maybe doing some sketches, maybe appreciate the christmas decoration around me one more time today, cause I love it, just trying to figure out what to do on this calm Friday, since I don't have class; I was supposed to go to class, actually, since there's this project I'm working on with a group partner, but he had some issues and couldn't go, so here I am, and happy to he here, writing this post and talking to you, dear reader!
And today is song of the week day! Yay!!! These week I was revisiting the very much underrated Frozen short movie on Christmas: Olaf's Frozen Adventure! One that I like immensely, and remembering my favorite songs of the short movie, one that I didn't have paid much attention before came to my attention! This one is the Ballad of Flemmingrad, sang by Kristoff, as he presented one of the trolls Christmas Traditions to the rest of the cast! A delightful song that make us remember how good Kristoff can sing, he is voiced by Jonathan Groff and his voice is blessed indeed! On the short movie, the song is not too big, but on the soundtrack album, we can see the whole piece, and it's indeed magnificent! And that is the song of the week that we have for today!
And, if you prefer the short version of it, I have the link for that one too!
And since we're already here, if you don't have Spotify, do not distress, for I have the Youtube link for both versions right here! Yay!!

Truly a lovely song from a lovely short movie! The tradition of the trolls, as we'll find out, it's pretty weird, but a nice example on how different are the Christmas celebrations for everyone! I do think this time of the year is a party for everyone, in the tropics and in the artic likewise! One that I love very much and I'm so excited that is so close! I think with that, this makes a bridge between what's left of Halloween, the month of November, the already fading Fall season, December and the Christmas season! Something you can also see on Over The Garden Wall, a very special transition moment that doesn't even present itself that way. Well, anyway...
Thank you so much for being here, reading this post! Hope you may find the Balllad of Flemmingrad as lovely as I did! I appreciate you a lot and you're the very best! See you next time!
