[This is new: a post from Elsa not in video. Normally she tries to use it as often as she can, since it helps her with talking to people without the intimidation of being face-to-face in person. But she's feeling kind of... not quite upset, but not like herself today. She'd rather not let that bleed into the video and audio, so for now, text it is.]

I just noticed the anniversary of a very important event in my life is almost here. The thing itself wasn't so bad - it was certainly something to celebrate at least - but the events that happened during and after it... they were more than a bit terrible.

[Yeah she's being kind of vague here. But only because she hasn't really told anyone about the whole "Eternal Winter" thing. And she's.... still somewhat afraid to. People know about what happened with Anna, yes, but if they knew she'd almost sentenced her entire kingdom to an eternal winter of suffering... would they act different towards her then?]

Even so, I... look back somewhat fondly on those days, despite the bad things that happened. Because even though bad things happened, a lot of good came out of it in the end.

Still... is that odd?

I don't think it's that bad. I know I'd rather focus on the good, even if it's tough sometimes.

Without knowing all the details, I can't say for sure, but I doubt anyone's gonna judge you for it. If they think you're weird, that's their problem.

Focusing on the good is preferable, yes, but looking past the bad, when it really was a horrible chain of events... I just don't know if that's preferable.

You can't forget the bad, but you can learn from it. The way I see it, you can either let it haunt you, or you can accept things for what they are and try to move forward.

It's like a balancing act, but I also know it's easier said than done.
