On this final day of Love, February I’m reflecting on what this project has meant to me.
On a personal level, this has been the first time in years I’ve actually taken time out of every day to write and create. It’s also the first time I’ve felt safe enough to share my writing with…anyone. I wrote a little bit in high school but since then I’ve always been too afraid to share my writing. For that I have to thank you Beanies for creating this space where I feel safe and among friends. I’ve always said I want to take more time to write. I’m hoping that I can do that after today. I don’t know what life will bring, but just the act of putting words down has been a gratifying experience in ways I never expected.
I think examining love has been an immensely gratifying experience. It’s allowed me to slow down and examine my life and the things and people I appreciate. It also has taught me to be grateful for the good things in my life. I’m grateful that I have so much to draw upon, both good and bad, and that it’s all important to who I am today.
But I also want to thank you all for sharing your stories. You are all amazing people and the discussion over the last two weeks has been engaging and personal and raw in a way I never expected. I have learned so much from you all and been inspired by all your stories.
This space is something I cherish in a way I never would have believed when I hit play on Coffee Prince five years ago. If someone told me then that I would be going to k-pop concerts and watching Asian dramas and writing poetry about tea on a drama site, I would’ve told them to get their head checked. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. This has been an amazing journey. This is an amazing journey. Thank you all for this.
Until next time my lovely Beanfriends,
Love, February
Not gonna lie, I was debating going out on a tribute to the many beautiful abs we see in dramaland.
I was almost out of words since I’ve spent the last week just writing writing writing for work. This was supposed to be yesterday’s post. But in the middle of writing it, it turned into what I ended up posting yesterday, so I saved this for today.
I’m just reading this and nodding furiously — yes yes yes. To all of it. “This space is something I cherish in a way I never would have believed when I hit play on Coffee Prince five years ago.” “I wouldn’t change it for the world. This has been an amazing journey. This is an amazing journey.” yes. I’m so glad we did this — and so glad I got to read your posts. I agree with Ally. you have a great voice, and I look forward to it too! moar!!!
Killer words and killer pic, Snarky! Gosh, I’m exhausted – mentally, physically, and emotionally – right now, so I don’t have many words, but thank you, and I appreciate you so much, are what’s left.

Maybe I’ll do it as a post-valentines day cure?
Or, just take a gander at my banner. It hasn’t changed in over a year for a reason…
