İçimden geçenler..

Saat gece yarısını geçiyor ; 01:44 . Uykusuz gözler . nereye yazsam , ne yazsam kaygısı .. Yazı uzadıkça sıkılma belirtisi ve benim içimde ki sayfalarca yazı yazma isteği . işte açıklamam .Şuan tam anlamıyla ' ne yapıcam şimdi ben ' duygusu içerisindeyim. Ben de siz gibi önce okuyup sonrasında ' ben de böyle bişey yapsam ' kafasındayım . Sonra eliniz klavyeye gidiyor ve diyorsunuz ki ' herkes gibi mi başlicam yazmaya ' , 'başlıyorum ama kim bakar ki ' .. işte ben de bunları diye diye herkes gibi başladım cümlelerime . Aslında yok bi hedefim. Burayı sadece elimde şuan tuttuğum günceyi bir üst seviyeye taşımak için kullanmak istiyorum . Hepsi bu . Herhangi bi kaygım yok yani ya da endişem . Yazmak deyince aklıma önce ilk okul yıllarım geliyo . Aslında aklıma gelen yazmak değil okumak. Ben ilkokuldayken Türkiye çapında bir uygulama başlatılmıştı . Kitap okuyosunuz sonunda da en fazla kim okuduysa ona herhangi bir hediye verilirdi . İşte yazmamında en büyük başlangıcı burasıdır . Tabi çağın bi sorunu vardır ' AŞK ' . İşte o sorun benide kapsıyor .. Platonik olduğunuz insan için değşmeyi göze alırsınız ya , ben de değişmek için önce daha çok okumayı ve daha sonra yazmayı örnek alarak değişmeye başladım . ' DEĞERLİM ' adını verdiğim bi günce tutmaya başladım

The Truth About the Word Friendship

I am Chinese born in China, but I am not part of the 93% of Han Chinese. I can only understand Cantonese, but I understand these 2 words: “本人” & “一文不值”. I've heard it...sometimes I feel like every metaphor, simile, and all the symbolism in the world describes me and those people. Even though they are my friends, they are like pickles: liked by many, but can be sour at times. I'm more like a cucumber: I was them before they were popular...before they became what they are now. Why do they treat me as if I am not Chinese? Not on their vernacular. Not as a friend, but as the enemy in which they feel the need to rip to shreds as soon as they see me. I don't understand, but will I ever understand the complicated-ness of life that is a must just like the way guilt is an unavoidable consequence of a lie. Except these aren't just lies: they are a part of what has made me myself up until now.

Accidents happen {DISCONTINUED FOR REASONS HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA}

A Voltron: Legendary fanfiction based off of KlanceKeith, a Junior in high school and Lance, a Sophmore in high school as well both enroll in a boarding school. They've been rivals since elementary school and by mistake, both boys are paired up as roommates. There's only one problem... there aren't any other students available Keith and Lance can be reassigned to. Could this possibly turn out to be the worst year of their lives or maybe... the best??? Well, that's for you to find out.Update: Idk if any of you guys were looking forward to a new chapter, I doubt it, haha, but that ain't coming. I dunno what happened, I just completely gave up on the Voltron fandom and left, I'm not very sorry tho. It was my first fandom I was ever in and for a first fandom, it sucked balls lmao. I was really involved in the fandom from when vld started and finished. I stayed despite all the toxicity and hate, hoping that people would realize what they're saying and doing is so wrong. After such a long time, I was just done. I really loved this show, but I couldn't enjoy it as much as I could have with a lot of the fans just ruining it. I'm sick of the threats, the poison, and just the plain out hate. It was just enough to make me ill. So I'm done because this shit ain't what I need right now. I hate to be that one girl, but I'm not going to be posting the new stuff I wrote oof. I don't even know what's going on in the fandom rn, but I'm glad to not be a part of it.
