Hirobel: Perfect Song Part 1

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.

A few months ago, I wrote a mini-essay on how "Brooklyn Baby" by Lana Del Rey is the perfect ship song for Isabela and Elsa. After I posted my mini-essay, I started thinking of a perfect ship song for Hiro and Mirabel. I thought they would both be Swifties, and favor Taylor Swift's "Taylor Swift", "Fearless" and "Speak Now" albums. As such, I think these songs would be perfect for them:

"Our Song" by Taylor Swift from her debut album

"Fearless" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"Love Story" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"Mine" by Taylor Swift from her Speak Now album

Overall, I think all of those songs would be good fits for a Hirobel fic.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a good day or night!

Last Day in England

09.09.24

I woke up in the arms of my partner- after one of the best night sleeps I've had in a long time. It was a good weekend, a final goodbye to my boyfriend before I leave for my studies. I will come back at Christmas, but right now, that feels like lightyears away. I'll try not to count down every second that we're apart.

After breakfast, I dropped him off at the bus station to make his way home- I couldn't even bear to hug him. I was afraid that if I was able to hold him for one last time, I wouldn't have the willpower to let go.

I spent the rest of the day packing and sorting documents for my flights tomorrow. It will be a long day of travel (two 7+ hr flights) and I'm hoping that everything goes as smoothly as possible.

I had a 'final' meal with my dad- a gammon dinner (English classic); and overall, I'm feeling hopeful about my new year. I'm trying to focus on what the year away will add to my life, and not so much what it will take away. My heart will ache for my boyfriend, my dad, and my dog- but I am opening so many opportunities for myself that wouldn't exist otherwise.

Success takes sacrifice, and I'm grateful to have so much to miss.

I'll finish the rest of my packing, and attempt to have an early night's sleep.

Not much has happened since my last blog post.

I met my partner's parents; they were nice and I really wasn't nervous, even though I thought I would be. I haven't done much uni work lately, I need to keep on top of it, as well as making sure my visa is going through. I applied for an online Internship, that way I can do it remotely from Malaysia. I didn't put too much effort into the application, so I'm not insanely hopeful about it. Either way, it's good practice.

It's my boyfriend's birthday today, but I'm not seeing him until tomorrow. We're on a real countdown now before we have to go long distance awhile. I'm looking forward to most parts of moving abroad, but being away from him will be my biggest difficulty. My boyfriend assures me that it's going to work, so I believe him.

I'll try to post more (I want to post daily), but can't make any promises, as it's not easy to find something to post about when so little is happening in my life.

[Exams 2/4]

My stats test is today, I'm nervous. I haven't left my dorm in days. I have either been revising or sleeping, I'm not feeling great mentally or physically. Talking to my boyfirend helps, but we're mid/long distance and I really am missing him, this is the longest we've been apart since we got together. I should get used to being away from him. If I get onto this study abroad scheme, I won't see him for alost a whole year (I'll go back once for Christmas). Not seeing him is definitley not helping my mood. Luckily, he's super supportive, ang is sending my lots of encouraging messages. He believes in me more than I believe in myself. If he thinks I can do it, I must be able to, I haven't seen him be wrong yet.

My sister is giving birth today, its definitely a distraction. I am going to struggle in the test if I don't hear back from her before I go in. Re-taking these tests means I won't qualify for my study abroad. I know I've done the best I can with revision and studying, and its going to be a big blow to me if my 100% best still isn't enough. Exam anxiety doesn't help either- if I get 100% on a mock, I can expect at least a 10% reduction on the actual exam, which means when I'm hardly passing mocks, I am not confident for the real thing. I have done everything I can, I need to trust that my best is enough.

The baby is born- its healthy and cute. My exam is in an hour, I don't know what to think about it.

Exam is done! I don't think it went too bad but I can't be sure- we'll see.
