This is a story very close to my heart. For starters, it exemplifies John Lennon's quote "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." My life too, took an unexpected turn, when I was busy going on a different direction.
It takes place in three countries. Australia, where I live now. Japan, which is one of my favourite countries. And Germany, the country of my father's ancestors and where I spent the first five years of my married life, with my German husband, before we moved to Australia.
Japan, has a particular importance in the story and I tried to portray some of its many allures.
I welcome those of you who decide to partake in Ellie's journey and I hope to meet you along the way.
See you soon. Mata chikai uchi ni o ai shimashou. Bis bald.

A Condition Called Love [Tokyo Revengers]
In the world of violence, gangs, and motorbikes, it's a simple love story that took place in the heart of Tokyo's Shibuya, about two best friend-delinquents where the boy fell first, but the girl fell harder - their story might be simple but their love was epic. A dangerous disease that is love, described to be deadly yet paradoxical, makes them do things they never imagined before in life. It's a story about moving on from first love and finding true love; a story about loyalty, trust, and friendship; a story about mystery, murder, and time travel; a story about loss, tragedy, broken promises, and unrequited love. . . . . . . .

LATE NIGHTS IN TOKYO (UNPOLISHED VERSION)
***UNPOLISHED*** ***PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE GOING TO READ THIS*** EVERYTHING WORD IS LITERALLY STRAIGHT FROM MY ICLOUD NOTES 💀😂 IT IS NOT EDITED "Late nights in Tokyo is cluster of information from me myself" "Describing my ways" "My emotions" "My thoughts" "In my own personal way..." "ON god i cant stand me dealing with these thoughts because sometimes it gets to me other times i successfully get them outta my head... i dont need to be thinking anythng like this for real...i need someone to save me you feel me...because like i said it isnt healthly to just sit here and feel like this...i gotta find good in the bad and most of the time it is...I wanna help so many people as i can and tell them this is the way...i wanna be peoples light..its sounds dumb but i know how to feel and i gotta get all this hate and dark feelings out" "I made this because I always wanted to keep track of my thoughts and feelings and maybe this will passed on to someone who wants to understand me..." "In a beautiful different city like Tokyo" 1/30/19 "The only person that can save me is myself. I shouldn't depend on nobody else on such deep personal feelings" "Late Nights In Tokyo, The "Late Nights" could mean myself or my feelings, thoughts, mindset, and all in general how I perceive things. Same thing with "Tokyo" I could be in my head overthinking or expressing my emotions flexing my own beauty. Hence why calling Tokyo a beautiful city. My thoughts and etc (Late Nights) are within myself (Tokyo) "Late Nights in Tokyo". Goes without saying, everyone's own way of thinking it's unique and different...everyone has their own beauty".

Kinder and sweater from what their father was like... They both make new friends, all the laughs, love, drama, friendships, and the broken promises..... A huge murder happen from long ago... Hazel, Gray, Asher, and Kana accidentally go back in time. Why, though? Why did they go back in time? Was it to stop something major from happening? Or something else... What will happen exactly? Warning: lots of death, cussing, gore, suicide attempt, personality disorder, rape, and kidnapping. If any of that bothers you, please don't read this story! (A/N) This is written by a 14 year old, who somewhat knows what she's doing. Paragraphs, periods, comma's, spelling, and many other things might be wrong. As I said, I'm practicing. Updates are whenever; I've also started school. I'll try to update once a week? But, it probably won't happen. I was inspired by the show "Erased" to make this story, but in my own way. All artwork is either from Angela, or online, the plotline is also all mine. The name will probably change later on. Enjoy this wacky story of mine.Complete
