For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and for these two, their lives have been planned down to a science. For Wylan Olson, being yourself can be very stressful. Since she was young, her emotions have always been backwards. The embodiment of 'tears of joy,' that laughs to keep from crying, not many people understand her struggle. Mostly because she barely understands it herself, but she's making it...barely. All she wants to do is make something out of herself, and she's willing to work for it. Kwame Okari has been raised to be perfect. His parents' strict expectations at son leave no room for friendships, which they regard as frivolous. Their only concern is for him to be Ivy League, and he cannot afford to disappoint. He is a boy on a mission, with a clear objective: be first. And there's only one person standing in his way-Wylan. As the two develop a better understanding of each other, competing agendas complicate their relationship forcing them to decide which is more important: attraction or ambition, satisfaction or success, friendship or fruition, and lead them to wonder if one has to be mitigated for the other.

From 2011 to 2014, Big Girls Don't Cry has returned with a twist and a bang. Hopefully Wattpad still remembers L'Aysia and Langston from 2011 and 2014. There's a change though, 2015's final and complete version of their lives and their story in Big Girls Don't Cry is nothing like the original. You'll hate arokay and you'll love her for it. The final and last ever version of Big Girls Don't Cry will make you want to snatch someone's wig, cry, laugh and smile. The book has been a journey and arokay is so grateful and thankful for having amazing Wattpad friends and Wattpad family supporting her from the beginning. She's also grateful for Watty's demographics because she was able to see that there were readers from 34 countries in different continents across the globe reading the book, which is so mind blowing. The final and complete version of book is now available on Amazon Kindle in US, UK and the EU. The links will be provided on her profile, please check it out and share the story of many with a friend! arokay xo

I smiled back at him, and I knew. I knew he would be the first man I would kill.

I speak up on what I think is right. Apparently these days being a better person is to be "triggered" or an "sjw" if you don't like that people are changing for the better and don't have time for bull-- don't read, don't actively seek out things you don't like. Simple edit 2020 / a collection of random rants from a teenage wanna be, as I grew many of my thoughts changed. some for the better others were realizing that there's a bigger picture outside of race, feminism, and politics. I am not a feminist, I am a womanist. I care for the betterment of black women ONLY. Everyone else has their legion, so will Black women.
