It's hard sometimes to be "yourself". Especially when you've crafted a persona so well curated. So this is just a call for a little unmasking. To be perfectly imperfect.

You are You
I am me. You are you. People have a nasty habit of labeling and judging others. It's an instinct that everyone has and we do it all the time, without realizing it sometimes. These labels do not define us. Those judgments do not blind us of our true self. We know deep down that we are different but some people hide that. Some people think the only way to fit in is to be someone else. Some people want to change for others. Some people think it's best to hide thief true self from those around them. But you are all special. You don't need to change who you are. You are perfect. But sometimes people don't see that. They need help. So I'm here to try to help. I'm here to help you see how wonderful you are. I want you to be confident. I want you to be you.Complete
Dating in the States
I'm a soon-to-be 28-year-old navigating the dating scene, armed with a mix of fun, a dash of drama, and a strong WiFi connection for late-night overthinking sessions. I'll be spilling the tea on my love life-names changed, of course, to protect the innocent (and the guilty!). My hope? That other girls can laugh, cringe, and relate to the rollercoaster that is modern romance.
Grace
What's the point of pretending we're alright when we aren't? We're only humans, so why can't we face our weaknesses and problems head-on instead of trying hard to appear perfect to the world around us? What exactly are we trying to prove? That we're perfect? * An actress pursuing a topnotch movie; A producer that isn't what he seems; An unintentional murder; And a God that worked behind the scenes. It took all these for Grace to realise that her name wasn't just a name- it was a lifeline. _Her_ lifeline. Grace was saved... By grace.Complete
Play Pretend
While I've got you, and while we're alone ... can I share something with you? You know, man-to-reader? OK, fab. I am slowly becoming a girl. Yeah. Really. See, that girl you heard about just before my boring ass started chundering away about showers and carpets like a dodgy salesman, she's in my head. She has been for a really long time. Maybe soon, I'll go deeper into that. I hope that's put your minds at ease in an odd way - now you'll know why I dream from the perspective of a girl less than half my age. So, show of hands, how many of you have questions? One, two, thr ... yeah, I had a feeling it would be like this. I can't answer them right now, but I promise you will know me soon enough. Besides ... I'm counting on you for something. You, dear invisible reader, are going to play the role of my brain. I'm going to scribble down every thought, event and experience I have. You're going to be the way I no longer have to live life trapped in my own head 24/7. And eventually ... soon, you will be the reason I stop pretending. This is a promise I am making to myself, and you are all going to be witness. 2025 is the year I stop playing pretend.Complete
