I SURVIVED ANOTHER DAY IN STRANDED. Honestly every day I'm still in this game is gonna be a day to celebrate :) just kidding, I'm still gonna always be stressed so what exactly am I celebrating?

anyways hehe
So I got 2 votes cast against me during tribal and honestly guys, my heart is too pure that I actually felt bad for voting for Stephanie. Not necessarily voting for her but lying to her about it. but turns out she had NO problem saying my name and that's when my emotions are off and I become heartless, kinda lol. I'm glad she got voted out. Nice try Steph :) I heard Wardog was the other vote for me and honestly...I don't even care because that man is weird. It was always rough having to talk to him, I felt like the convo never really went anywhere. So I wouldn't mind seeing his ass go home next.
Another thing im mad about tonight. We had a tribe swap AND I GOT SEPERATED FROM HOPE. YALL I AM LITERALLY CRYING :( How am I gonna survive without her? She was honestly my #1 (granted I don't actually know how she felt about me BUT) we had a bond and I'm gonna miss her

I really hope she's okay over there. I want us both to make merge. WE HAVE TO. SO SAD :( before I cry a literal river lemme answer these questions and cry myself to sleep hehe
Swapped Tribes
Y'all should already know the answer to this, but I'm most excited to see Matt. I feel like me and him connected really well and I do wanna keep working together which we've already established. It would have been so awesome if Tai was here, but I have confidence in Tai that he'll survive. I'm also excited to see Sherri and also Allie since we are OG Pukaroa. I think we could really make it far in the game. ALSO I told you guys I have a pure heart but believe it or not im also excited to see Elizabeth. I know I said she was a big threat and that I wanted her to go, but she's so sweet and I think with her here, I can make it even farther. HOPEFULLY. I think when merge happens, that could really be the best time for people to think about getting her out. I'm meeting Stephannie for the first time and she's also so sweet and nice. I guess Wardog would be the one I didn't want to see on my tribe again (even though I told him I was happy, but that was a little lie, oops).
I know this is weird to say in a game of Survivor even though I don't wholeheartedly mean it, but I feel like I'm in a great position. I hate myself for saying that because you never actually feel safe in this game, but I feel like I have a lot of people here that would be willing to protect me. and maybe I'm just naive but

I can't help it
Returnee V Newbie
I think it could go both ways. Like obviously I'm closer to more newbies than I am returnees, but I have people on the vets side that I need around. I think people are getting out of the mindset that it's a newbie vs returnee game. I think in this stage of the game, it's all about your connections regardless of if you're a newbie or returnee. But I guess we'll just have to see.
Partner/Voting Strategy
I really haven't thought about that considering I still don't really know who's paired with who. but I guess it could be beneficial to know that bc then you could decide if splitting them up is a good option bc we know that the last remaining pair gets individual immunity so im sure each pair WANTS to be that last pair, I wouldn't be surprised if votes start to get strategic I that sense.
It's already midnight and my ass needs to get to bed. I hope I made sense, if not im so sorry. <3
