6 November 2013
7 November was the 10th anniversary of my rape. Yet, there’s another part of this story I didn’t share because it was all a perfect storm. Since Monday, 6 November 2023 was 10 years since S sent me the letter, which I thought was a love letter of sorts in 2013, I thought I would share this story. I never shared it before and it may help with healing.

Halloween 2023
Halloween 2023 was so much fun, even after a lackluster October. Since David and I were planning for the Ren Faire and for our cosplays, most of my October focus went to our anniversary. It wasn't a bad thing, but I made sure to use the final days of October to focus on Halloween fun.

2023 Happiness Box Project
I have written a little bit about my Happiness Box Project already. This idea started in the summer of 2015, but started as, "Oh, let me try a Happiness jar in 2016!" I tried it, but failed: the jar didn't hold much. In December 2016, after receiving a sweater for the holidays, I had a novel idea. Since the sweater came in a big box, I could try a Happiness Box for 2017!

Anniversary Celebrations
My boyfriend and I have an interesting history. In March 2022, I thought I was stuck in a bad situationship. I was having an off day and I decided to stop at a convenience store to pick up a package I ordered. A young man, a counter clerk, said “hi” to me. He drew me from the dark cocoon I was wrapped in. His smile cheered me up. I went back to the store a few times and that young man kept reaching out, chatting. I was in denial about the situationship I was in, I wanted to save whatever that was, and stopped going back to the store.
