Hi, where are you from? Where is your home? What's your favourite country?
If you have trouble answering these questions, then this book is the one for you. I am Annabella and I am a Third Culture Kid. I am an American born Indonesian Chinese. I have lived in America, China, Singapore and Indonesia. For my whole life, I have moved around a lot and because of this, I struggle to answer the 3 basic questions that most people can answer. I grew up outside of my home culture and my parents' culture so I have been exposed to all kinds of culture from around the world. However, there are challenges that I face in daily life. I have been through culture shock, losing friends, having to recreate my whole life and identity and above all, anxiety and depression. I began to wonder, Who am I? Am I American? Chinese? Singaporean? Indonesian? Most importantly, Where do I belong? And Where is home?All Rights Reserved

To meet the eyes of a person you once knew is to have heartbreak. Valentina and Matteo are two people who had once been everything for each other and now simply aren't. Throughout their lives, they have done everything together and continued to do so much more. Now, they break those promises- the promises that ensured that they stayed together forever. But life has a way of working itself out, and it's

Five's A Crowd by ur_anus_

"𝔼𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕐 𝔽𝔸𝕄𝕀𝕃𝕐 ℍ𝔸𝕊 𝕊𝔼ℂℝ𝔼𝕋𝕊" - - - "My name is Hazel, but most people call me Ze. I'm from Melbourne, and love Taylor Swift." I cringe at my own words, and think back to a time where Fletcher was one of the only people calling me Ze. "Does anyone have questions for Miss. Bolivi?" Fletcher asks, and I hate the way my father's last name sounds on his lips. Lots of students raise their hands, and I feel overwhelmed. People actually want to learn something about me? "Yes, Miss. Abbott. Ask away," Fletcher says to one of the girls who is seated at a table at the front of the class, with other kids who all look bitchy like her. "Are you related to the Bolivi brothers?" Her disgustingly sweet voice pukes out. "My last name is Bailey," I say coldly, hating how that was her only query about me. - - - Hazel Bailey. She's your typical Australian teenage girl. From going out with friends every Friday night, to crushing on university boys. But what happens when this seemingly normal girl experiences the loss of her mother? Fearing that she's going to go into foster care, Hazel begins to stress, but she quickly discovers that she's not going to go into the system. Instead, her five older brothers have gained custody of her. The same five older brothers she never knew existed. Something about them seems off, and Hazel can't help acting wary. But they're not the only ones with secrets. Join Hazel in a journey of lies, love, attachment, and humor.
