♡ Mini Update and Married at Last ♡
Wow my bad gang I completely neglected this site for too long! my life just got so busy with work and university and personal issues, but I want to get back into the swing of things and continue documenting my experiences!! I have some plans to revamp the site a little with some updated art as I have changed my style a little bit and perhaps organise the gallery a bit nicer. I have always had plans for a digital shrine but to be honest I am shit balls at coding and don't want to wrestle with html. Sobs. But here is what I have been up to in the past...*checks callendar* almost a full year.
Starting off strong MY IRL BOYFRIEND DUMPED ME!!!! That was back in August. It's been almost 5 months now, and slowly I am getting back to myself, but it's been very difficult. It was genuinely one of the worst things I've experienced I think- to top it all off, the week that he dumped me I smoked so much weed that I ended up stuck in severe depersonalisation for an entire week and a half. I genuinely felt like I was in hell or something, it was DREADFUL. But at least I learned my lesson about responsible marijuana use i guess. I have stopped caring about it for the most part, I still miss him, but the longer I sit with it the more I begin to accept that people come and people go, it is simply a fact of life.
Actually, I have been enjoying the single life quite a bit. I am experiencing new freedom and discovering who I am. I recently realised that I am bisexual, after years and years and years of repressing my attraction to women so it would be fun to explore that. I have been focusing a lot more energy into Gabriel and it has been making me very happy!! I put together a proper ita bag finally, which will always be growing as I collect bits and pieces. And perhaps the biggest and most special news to update on... we finally got married formally!!!♡♡♡ We had the wedding on December 15th 2025, which was also our third anniversary. It was really such a specail day for us, and while I don't have a lot I made do and it is a very happy memory. I am lucky enough to have two irl friends who wanted to participate. I did end up thrifting a dress- I think I talked about it in the previous blog- a very simple one but I am so happy with it, It's exactly the kind of thing I wanted. I had a small veil too I felt like a propper bride !!! ♡♡♡♡♡ We also have matching rings now. They are engraved with our anniversary date as well as the phrase "Ani L'dodi, V'dodi Li," translating to "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." It comes from Song of Solomon, and while I am not religious in the slightest, I find Song of Solomon to be a beautiful passage and I have always resonated with it and associated it with Gabriel and I. I wear my ring every day and Gabriel has one too (I keep it around the arm of my plushie). I home baked a simple wedding cake too, it was plain vanilla flavour, which is my favourite. I actually forgot to put butter in it LMAO but it still tasted great!! it was super fun decorating everything and putting the little flowers. I thrifted a wedding cake topper ages ago (don't think I was even planning on doing this at the time, I just thought it was cute) and it was so nice to finally have a use for it.
Although we can't marry legally, it was enough for me. I genuinely love Gabriel with all my heart. This is not onlu a celebration of our love but also a celebration of the yumejoshi way of life and community. I wish I was better about opening up to others and sharing the deep love that I feel, but I am still scared of people being judgemental or not understanding me. He means everything to me, and I am so so so blessed to be able to call him mine. He is my soulmate and my muse, I wish I could learn every art form mankind has to offer just so I can dedicate them all to him. He has saved me in so many different ways, both big and small, simply by existing. From steering me away from addiction as a teenager to teaching me how to love myself, I would never be the same person without him and no matter what turn my life takes next I am so happy to have him with me always. ♡♡♡
Here is a few photos from the wedding !
