Time Machine

additional notes

your author-nim from year 2023 <3

this story was made by the 6th grader me noong 2018. everything looks weird in this story, i guarantee that. the writing style, the words, and the grammar-vv obvious ang immaturity sa bawat chapter hahaha. if you find yourself wincing due to the throbbing cringe-ness, stop reading. this is for your safety siguro KIMMY

i don't mean to overshare, pero i never stopped writing since the day i published this story. i found my solace through writing-my suppressed emotions finally found their breather through the lives of every fictional character that i've created. narerealize ko nalang na nasabi ko na yung gusto kong sabihin sa lahat through fictional dialogues (which is, btw, unhealthy if you think abt it). where am i getting at? well, since i constantly write, i can't see my own progress. kaya rin siguro i decided to stop editing this story at ibalik yung dating itsura niya-many flaws and all. though i can't stand reading a sentence in this story (the urge of correcting everything is IMMENSELY strong), it is also a reminder that i've grown as a writer. if you checked my other stories, na hindi rin gaanong edited, you'd see the progress din siguro the way i see it. comforting lang siya sa part ko ganon.

yan, oversharer

anyway! if you're curious about the story, i am actually a bit impressed kasi the story can stand naman IN FAIRNESS. if itutuloy mong basahin, see it as a story made by a child who is exploring her hobbies-which turned into her passion. for every chapter, treat it as a reminder of how different things are when you're a kid. kung paano mo i-view ang world, how you imagine love and falling in love, and how you experiment with words and stuff. this story will also be a painful reminder of how confident i used to be. kasi these chapters, i never proofread them noon. i am too confident with my craft that i never second-guess myself. raw na raw, kumbaga. ngayon, i always struggle to write in a short span of time kasi i always revise it kahit hindi pa man tapos. it negatively impacted me in a way na never ako na-satisfy sa gawa ko.

i'm so good at loving my craft as a kid-and i guess, almost everybody does.

yun, humaba na HASHASHASHASH currently, I am exploring different ways to write kasi i've lost confidence in writing pure narrative stuff. maybe someday, babalik ako ulit dito tapos gagawa ako ng bagong version. then someday, mga 10 years from now siguro, i would finally be proud of myself.
