My Silent Melodies ➵ [ my life 2015-16 ]

5/28/15 • Origin Story

Gather 'round children, tis' a time for story telling! Well, more like wading through memories both good and bad to find my origin story. Don't worry, I'll try not to drag it out too much. This is for morbidEmpire who I promised to give my life story to. This is my origin story, others are to follow on days similar to this where I have no life, no motivation and some good music.

My very first memory is of a broken promise.

Sad, I know. My parents oh-so-long ago promised me they would one day take me and my sister - who I had just learned of - to Disney World. Needless to say they never took us, and now, about eleven years later they deny ever making such a promise.

My first crush was a Marvel Superhero.

Spider-Man to be exact. Yes, I started my path to geekdom at the ripe age of four. My dad let me watch my first superhero movie and lo and behold I fell in love with the dorky hero known as Peter Parker, or Spider-Man. But my first 'ship' was Peter and MJ, despite me liking him myself I doted over the two and had daydreams about them.

I created my own stories with Barbie dolls.

Yes, and Polly Pockets, My Little Ponies, Little People and just about any other humanoid toy I got my hands on. My toys went on adventures, dealt with drama, fell in love, cheated on each other, got married, built families, died on multiple occasions and went on 'vacations' to the swimming pool during the summer. This is essentially where my imagination blossomed and my abilities to not only read a story but create a new ending began.

My first written story was a Cinderella fan fiction.

I still have this actually, buried somewhere between old drawing books and memories I keep tucked away until I'm feeling nostalgic. It went somewhere along the same lines of the original, except the Prince knew right away the step sisters where evil and saw right through the plot of Cinderella's Evil Stepmother, and he married her right away to save her. I even drew lovely illustrations to go with it, and if I find it I might attach a picture of one of the pages. If it's not there I got too lazy to look hard enough to find it.

No one pushed me towards a writing career until my sixth grade year.

Before that, it had always been drawing for me. Everyone encouraged me to take art classes and practice my drawing, saying I was very talented and going to great places. I would later discover the Japanese art style of manga and anime, but that's another origin story. It was around fifth grade when I started writing full blown stories, and in sixth grade I wrote a whole book, and I filled a notebook. People began to tell me to think about a serious career in writing. This was also the year all my innocence and naive ways to the world where obliterated (and in not talking about becoming dirty minded, that came a year later).

And the following year I was introduced to Wattpad, I made my first account and the rest is history (though that account is long gone now). I have met so many amazing people because of my writing, and I've bonded with people because of Wattpad and writing.

konatalove is the one who told me about Wattpad, well her and Skylar.

Mkat1227 and I really clicked when we found out we both wrote, and I guess it is partially the reason we are best friends today.

LukeTheGaymer inspired me to not care about the number of books I write and just write, and go with things. To follow my own flow and not worry about others.

morbidEmpire is one of the many people I've met on this site, but the only one to genuinely care about me and my life. She's also the only person who I can freak out over Fairy Tail with, and lord knows I freak out a lot...

Anyway! I hope you guys liked the origin story. Comment things you want to know about my life and I'll make more of these types of chapters, talking about my past.

I luvs you~

Goodbye~!
