Wow, finally back in Republic City- and look, no snow! 
I've missed this place. As much as I love the Poles and traveling, and learning about new cultures, there's no place like home! I've missed going down town and visiting my older friends who run the shops, and I've missed the smell of fresh meat coming from the food carts. I was so homesick towards the end of my stay in the South Poles, I missed everything about Republic City- except school, of course! I'm so glad I now do homeschooling with the airbending kids on Air Temple Island. Oh, and did I mention, we live there again! Yeah, since Korra kept the spirit portals open, the vines have been growing out of control and have taken over the city! That includes our apartment. So Bolin and I are back to living on the island. Mako is living at the police station because he still feels awkward being around Korra and Asami, who I don't think cares that much. We're still figuring everything out, but really, I'm just happy that Harmonic Convergence is finally over. I guess the thought of actually being there was pretty cool considering it only happens every 10,000 years, but thinking back to that day, it was terrifying. Jinora was stuck in the Spirit World, Vaatu escaped and took Raava right out of Korra, and for a moment, Unalaq actually won. The world was  ending, and it was hard for to just sit back at the compound not knowing if my family and friends were ok.
After being apart for so long, I just wish Mako would come home. After him and Korra breaking up, I think it's better that everyone just stays friends. It was hard seeing everyone so divided. Korra and Asami are getting along fabulously, I think. They've been spending a lot of time together actually, and I mean an unusual amount of time together, but it's nice knowing that after everything they went through with my brother, they can still be friends. I wouldn't know what to do if I had to pick between the two. I love them both so much. I think Mako just needs to calm down and realize that there's no hard feelings between him and the girls. I just wish he'd come back, I miss him- hey! Wouldn't it be funny if Asami and Korra fell in love? Mako would probably die! I know what I said, but at the same time, I can't lie. It'd be a little funny.
Despite Korra actually doing a good thing, I actually feel bad for bad for her. President Raiko has been on her butt about these spirit vines, and people are really critical about her keeping the portals open. Well I think she's doing great! The spirits are beautiful, and once upon a time, we all shared the same world. Why can't people just try to see the good in this instead of complaining? I know it's different, but this is our reality now, and we should all learn to accept it.
Despite Harmonic Convergence being over, I still haven't been to the Spirit World. I didn't get to go when Unalaq decided to turn into an evil Avatar. I can't lie, I wouldn't have wanted to see that, not like that. I was all for it before, but now that I think about it, and my adrenaline rush is gone, I can only imagine how terrifying that was. To meet the Spirit of Darkness up close and personal is already an absolute nightmare. The day the world went dark is a day I never want to relive again. Hopefully I don't live for another 10,000 years, because that's when the next Harmonic Convergence is.
I know he's dead, but I can never ever have any sympathy for Unalaq. He put everyone's life, including the spirits, in jeopardy! Even his own kids! I just don't get it. My mom and dad died protecting my brothers and I. How can he, as a father, put his kids through that? And now because of him, Korra lost her past lives. Wan, Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yang Chin, all gone! Poor Katara and her family lost the only connection between them and Aang, I wouldn't know what to do in that kind of situation. Imagine the next Avatar needing some wisdom, so they call on their past lives and only Korra shows up. Korra's great, but what if they need wisdom from an earthbender, or an airbender, that would suck! Hopefully as Raava grows, she can connect back with her past lives as time goes on.
