“The Seasoning of My Life, Friends-to-Family”
Drafted in 2021 or 2022, published in 2025.

She said, "You have become happier, haven’t you?"
That stuck in my mind and heart. Well, the answer certainly was YES, but when I started analysing it, it was way more than just becoming happier.
THEM—she was referring to them. Because of them, and ever since I have been with them, she said I have gotten happier.
There is no DENY button on the amount of happiness I have perceived, but was I only getting happier? I would strongly deny that, as much as they love denying the fact that BTS V is the most handsome man in the world.
So, what’s more than HAPPINESS?
A bond, a relation, a family made of choice, and...
I began evaluating myself. I knew I was not the same person as a year ago, except for the rough tone I still and will always have, but my way of seeing and considering changes was always focused on loss or something negative, as an overthinker would obviously do.
But this time, because of that question—or statement—I started recapping my memories, and my views on analysing changes were different.
I lived a year against my philosophy.
I broke the stereotypes of beliefs I had set to live in.
Despite all these, I was happy and at peace, and that’s what matters the most.
I was not the people pleaser anymore, nor was I selecting the scenarios.
I believe in fantasies and tend to follow my intuitions. Sometimes it works, and many times it doesn’t. However, what’s going to be constant would be me reflecting on things, changes, and feelings through the impact people make in my life.
Impact is just a simple word, but it outweighs so many things—the results, the feelings you have evolved because of someone you are with, and how it has impacted you in that way.
From my last year of teen to half of my twenties to let’s see where life takes me.
I hope to give you what you deserve, each one of you.
