(This feature image is terrible. I designed it how high school Alyssa would have. Lol.)
I made a bucket list that right after high school graduation… which a few days shy of FOUR YEARS ago. It’s embarrassing. Okay, so not all of them are embarrassing, and I have made SOME progress. I do, however, feel like it is time to make a revision to my BL. I was a pretty different person four years ago, and I had completely different goals and outlooks on life.
