          	I know I haven't posted in a VERY long time but I just had to for this important message. Back when I had my story "FGP" up on here I had written my stance on BLM when Michael Brown had died in Ferguson and added it at the end of one of the chapters. 
          	
          	As a POC myself (I'm of asian heritage) I did my part to speak out against racism and I expressed my condolences to all my followers who were effected and you know what I got back in return? White people messaging me about how I didn't know the full story and that I wasn't using the right platform to express myself. One individual who had popular stories on her page, wrote in my comments that she will no longer read my story or follow me simply because she didn't agree or believe that I should be discussing BLM here on Wattpad. Another white women messaged me trying to convince me that Michael Brown was a criminal when he was just a teenage boy who stole cigarettes and was gun down when he was on his knees surrendering himself. I snapped back about how she would feel if that was her child and she really tried to come at me like "how DARE you, I am a MOTHER"...like ok? How are you now angry then? I was DISGUSTED by the response I received and was so appalled by the amount of people, specifically white people trying to shut me up because they felt triggered. TBH, its one few the reasons why I stopped expressing myself on here and on any platform really. I know now that I was never wrong in what I had done and the things I said. 
          	
          	So I'm on here to just spread the word not to be afraid to speak out on what you believe in, especially with BLM. Police brutality is real, racism against the black community has BEEN real, and regardless of your skin color, I believe we should all do our part to show that we will not stand for this. If you don't want to protest thats ok, but do your part and donate or sign petitions to show your support. 
          	
          	Thanks for listening guys :)

Long time no...talk? I guess? 
          
          So I've decided to take down my stories...I know this will disappoint a lot of you, especially those who have just started to read them and like them. I've grown up a lot since I started writing my stories and as much as people like them, I personally don't. I've always thought that my published stories were badly written and needed a lot of editing and its been bothering me knowing that they're published when they don't reach the standard I have for them. I've also had this fear that someone will try to copy my story and make it out as if it's theres because I never fully understood copyrights on here. Also, I straight up just never come on. Writing stories is something I'll always love to do, but lately, I just never have the time to do so. I spend most of my time with my boyfriend or at work. Things just change once you gotta take more responsibility as an adult (yuck). Anyways, I hope you guys understand. Thank you to everyone who have supported my stories for this long, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. They will hopefully be republished when I get to editing them on my own time (when I have time, I will have some coming up in the next few weeks, but no promises).

SURPRISE! its yo girl back and better than ever....jk. so basically i have no idea when I'm gonna continue any of my stories. truth is, I no longer have a laptop and I haven't had one in a while (atm I'm boring my moms). Also I just haven't had the time to really get on. I've been busy with work, spending time with my boyfriend (yassss yo girl aint single no mo haha), and trying to figure out life stuff. I really want to come back and continue but without a laptop, I don't really get that chance to write whenever I want. back when I first started writing, I had all the time in the world. I would write before bed, and just random times during the day. I can't do that anymore. And I get so self conscious about whether my stories even make sense and have good grammar when I write them. The point I'm trying to get to is that I will keep my stories up (fingers crossed no one tries to steal it or something) but the next time I update any of my stories, well, that's very much unknown. thanks again to everyone who continues to read my stories and leave me messages.
