Unsure what to do next, she decides to take a long break, starting by following on travel plans she had made together with Akira.
On her journey, soon she makes new friends, learns to deal with her loss and sets new life goals.
Then she realises that she is no longer lost. As new love knocks on her door, will Ellie be healed enough and ready to enter a new relationship? Will he be prepared to accept her vulnerabilities and wait until she is ready?

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.

The Unchanged Fate
New girl Hazel and her little brother move to Japan, to get a new start. Fresh away from America. After their father died, they went to live with their fathers parents. 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
Nairobi Dreaming - Complete!
University friends Luisa and Kay reunite in Nairobi after a year apart to do some feel good volunteering but their friendship and the trip begin to unravel the moment they meet a strikingly handsome British philanthropist and a Ghanaian entrepreneur. In short order the donor funding the project that has brought them together is revealed to be rich and cruel, her interest in coming to Kenya to "help" routed in deeply disturbing ideology. Meanwhile, Luisa must confront her reasons for maintaining her friendship with Kay, her status as heir to a nearly incalculable fortune, her feelings for a man who seems a little too good to be true and the tragedy she left behind back in California. ** A/N This story is a work of fiction, but it's based on things I saw and heard while working in international development for five years. It's my attempt to find the complicated middle ground between those who would idealize international development and those who would condemn it. It's also a place for me to deal with a difficult friendship I had with a friend who was suffering from mental illness. She's since passed away and I'm not sure I ever really got over it. The story isn't at all done so as I'm writing I'm figuring it out too. I've set the story Nairobi and in Kisumu, which is far west of Nairobi. I've picked the title partly because of what Nairobi represents. Nairobi is a throbbing, innovative metropolis situated in a continent that is still viewed very narrowly as a place in need of help.Complete

"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".
