"The story goes on as my life continues."
~~~
Who am I? This is the question that 16-year-old me is continuously struggling to find an answer to. Throughout the years of my life, I have always been pressurized, no matter by peers, my parents, or even myself. Their thoughts and opinions shape me, and make me become who I am now. But, is this the real me?
~~~
What, or who, is the real me? I care a lot about what people think and it affects me on making my own decisions. To suit their demands, I adapt to the situation. Who I am now is not real. It's not fake either. It's a mask that I put on every day, hiding my true self from the world. And only to a few people, a few people who actually knows, and cares about me - only then, I reveal my true face.
~~~
I have no unusual tales to tell or special lessons to reveal. This is merely a palace for my mind to wander and a getaway for me to escape the reality world. After the breakup with my boyfriend, I try to clear my head and make the best out of the situation. However, I have absolutely no idea of how this is gonna end. Would I live happily ever after at peace? Or would I find myself in even deeper danger?
~~~
Join me on my journey together and let's explore the raging waters of my life, where the situation is yet unclear. One wrong step then I end up with an entirely different end, or another beginning. Fate determines many things, no matter how we struggle.
~~~
My fate is in your hands, dear readers. This is the story of my life. Help me make the right decisions.
~~~
I'm sure that the end will be great.

At least I hope so.
