look i'm not a sappy bear alright? 

i don't like meandering and beating around the bush

so i want to get right into it

but like i also don't know how to do it 

but ig i'll miss you guys

it's been a good run. lots of good memories...

sleeping

and eating

paintball

not doing my job, like, ever...

good times, good times...

honestly i think bam bam will miss this more than me

he enjoys getting mad at me and stressing out over deadlines

*sniffles* that's not true... 

bruv you are literally crying what more do you want me today

You're crying TvT

n-no, no i'm not 

TVT

anyways, I don't know how to write these anymore. well, maybe I should stop trying to please the masses and just write whatever I want. this is my book after all!!

ahem, alright ig I will just tell you all everything that you will ever need to know

Here are my favourite things to do: 

- dream journal

- fill out my sleep log

- eat yummy food

- sit in the sun

- roll around 

- annoy bambi 

- celebrate le panda day (my holiday) 

Next up, words of wisdom from yours truly:

never give up, chase your dreams, eat good food, and sleep on a comfy bed. Oh, also black and white is the best colour scheme goes well with everything. 

Also, my best advice is to invest in a hammock and good headphones for the ULTIMATE POWER NAP!!!

And, respect those emojis on your keyboard! use the funny ones, use the sad ones, use the niche ones that nobody ever uses! those road signs and funky little plants and climate phenomena need love too :) (but don't forget to always use the panda emoji the most ok okay?) 

uhhh what else... try new things! take risks! also, know when it's time to say goodbye to things that you love :) sometimes things run their course, and that's okay. they had a special place in your life, and now it's time to move on to greater and better things. Dw, those things will always be there, napping, eating bamboo... err, well, you get what I mean. 

aww mochi

WOULD YOU SHUT YOUR LITTLE MOUTH JOE FOR ONCE

WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT CALLING ME BY MY LEGAL NAME

bam bam :( 

what

we have to say goodbye :( 

yeah...

but that's okay?

it's okay :) 

okay

look

here's the thing...

...

I know that this is my holiday and all, but it couldn't have existed without you guys. really, as amazing as I am, that amazingness had to be read and spoken about by someone in order for it to amount to anything, and that's what you guys did. and I will forever be grateful for that!

i hope that my messages were fun and gave some light to you, and enlightened you as my thoughts are unique and invaluable. i am a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the wisest, most intelligent, most incredible panda bear face emoji thing, and I am so glad I got to share me with you :) and that you like were part of this community that brought all the warm fuzzies that nearly beat that feeling when you're munching on bamboo with a side of cocoa, rapped in a blanket watching the sunset with your best friend-- um uh yeah 

what she is trying to say is that she will miss you all terribly, and that writing these messages was one of the best things she's ever gotten to do. even if this silly bear will never admit it, you guys really have helped her grow and feel appreciated and loved. thank you, no really thank you, these messages helped her keep and sanity. and thus, my own.

wow you really can't be genuine without taking a jab at me

what are best friends for :] 

you know you'll never have a better friend then me, so you better treat me right

you are irreplaceable, mochi 

awe shucks bam bam, I love you too

you just love the snacks I bring you

they're an add-on, they come with the whole package of *gestures* you 

alright mochi, it's time

time for what

time to stop procrastinating and avoiding, you have to do it

do what

say goodbye...

oh yeah. do we have toooooooooooooooooooo

??

I'm too lazyyyy you do it for me

...you never change, do you? 

the panda is as panda does

huh? 

Find your inner peace in the bamboo forest of your mind

mochi you can't just stall by quoting random things you found on the internet and movies--

"Never underestimate the power of a panda." — Po

"A panda's wisdom: sometimes the best action is inaction."

okay we're just going to do it whether you like it or not 

"Be like a panda: resilient, adaptable, and absolutely adorable." 

it's time everyone :) 

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
