It’s FINALLY 2021 on the west coast side of America, so I found it only fitting to wish everyone here on Wattpad a very happy new year, and I hope the year ahead treats you all amazingly. ✨
          	As for me, I’m going to catch some Z’s because all I have planned writing-wise for this new year will probably drain me. But that’s okay, because at least I’ll be drained doing what I love: writing.
          	Cheers, everyone!

I would have posted this yesterday, except I couldn't find the exact words to explain how I was feeling. The idea that yesterday was One Direction's 10th anniversary boggles my mind. I wasn't a fan from the very beginning, I had my ups and downs with this band from 2010 to 2013 but I remember when I first heard about them. I remember going through a rebellious phase in which I covered my ears and walked out of stores if What Makes You Beautiful played because I didn't want to like something the world did.
          
          Stupid, I know.
          
          But I am now 20. They began/formed when I was 10. It is incredibly surreal for me to think about how a whole decade of my life has passed, the majority being me obsessing over these five individuals. They taught me to use my imagination to write, even if I look back on these things and cringe at some of the things I've said or posted on social media. They taught me to love myself.
          
          I've grown with One Direction and I will never stop hoping and praying for their return because these boys have brought me true happiness through some of the toughest years in a young girl's life. For that, I'm forever grateful.
          
          Thank you, One Direction. And happy #10YearsOf1D everyone!
          
          All my love,

Holy crap! I just woke up to the best news and I want to share it with all of my followers; my short story is a winner in the Badass Reads contest! I can't believe it, honestly, as the last time I won something for my writing was eighth grade. But I am so grateful and thankful for the recognition.
          
          If you're feeling bored in quarantine and need something to read, please check out my short story "Iced Coffee" and let me know in the comments over there how you liked it!

8,000 reads on Pure. I can't believe it. 
          
          Thank you to the readers who are coming back to read the revisions or who are just discovering it and giving it a chance. Words really can't describe what I'm feeling and what is going through my head right now.
          
          All my love.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening!
