This is my yearly "this is a real account, and I am a real person" update.
So, here we are. Another year older, no more wiser. Every year seems to get shorter, maybe because I know how fleeting time really can be? Who knows.
I really thought I was going to have to be sad that all my Kpop favorites were not doing anything (except for Big Bang, they killed in 2015, and Suju had one song) and I just could NOT get into anyone new. Then, like a flash I found GOT7. Let me tell you, I am stanning hard for these boys. I really have not found a song I don't like! They really warm my heart, they take me back to the days of young Suju and DBSK. I almost want to cry watching their shows, it reminds me so much of my early fangirling days. I still fangirl, just not as loud. Through them I also started liking MONSTA X, so now I can have music again!
It's still hard to be a K fan. At my age everyone is so damn serious, acting like it's going to kill them to enjoy something with any type of excitement. You would think when people get over a certain age life stops for them. I refuse to act old. I am mature, I have a good career. I own my car and my house, and I have raised my boy up right (his love for Kpop might rival mine). I have earned the right to like what I please, watch what I please and buy what I please. My hubby doesn't mind and he is the only one I care about. (good Lord, I make it sound like I am about to be retiring soon, I'm old, but not that old)
I do wish sometimes I had people to talk to IRL about the fandom, it's hard being from the south. No K towns here, only a few K restaurants and those are at least an hour away. I know finding someone here is pretty much not going to happen, but damn if I don't hope anyway. Same complaint in all these posts I guess.
Anyway, I still love everything I loved before. I got some new bias and obsessions (LOL) and I am still here.
