JUST FINISHED WRITING SEASON TWO OF STRANGER THINGS! NOW TO START SEASON THREE WHERE STUFF REALLY STARTS TO SHAKE UP!!! YOU GUYS READY?!?!?!

StrongerThanILook

A new year always feels a little strange to me. Not loud or sparkling right away—more like that quiet moment after midnight when the world exhales and everything pauses just long enough to let you take stock.
          
          2025 asked a lot. Some of it I was ready for. Some of it absolutely blindsided me. But I made it through—scuffed up, wiser, still standing—and that feels worth honoring. Growth doesn’t always look graceful. Sometimes it just looks like endurance, and that counts too.
          
          As we step into this new year, I’m not making promises to be perfect or productive every second. I’m choosing intention instead. To write with honesty. To keep showing up even when it’s messy. To protect the things that matter—my creativity, my boundaries, and the quiet joy that lives in telling stories.
          
          If you’re here reading this, thank you for being part of this space. Thank you for reading, for commenting, for lurking, for caring. Stories don’t exist in a vacuum—they breathe because someone else meets them on the page.
          
          Here’s to another year of words, worlds, and finding our footing again and again. We’ll land on our feet. We always do.
          
          Happy New Year.

Hey lovelies!! I have some disheartening news. But I have writers block really bad. I’ve put out so much content this year that my brain has officially hit the burn out wall. 
          
          I have been on the go so much these last two months and I haven’t even had time to really immerse myself in my stories like I usually do. Which is really hard for me because writing is my therapy. So idk if it’s because I’m just doing better mentally or if it’s just the lack of connection I’m feeling. Who knows. 
          
          With that in mind it could be days to weeks to months before I can get my brain to cooperate. So wish me luck as I work through this so I can continue writing for all of you lovelies!! 
          
          Thank you so much for continuing to support me and the writing you all enjoy so much! I couldn’t do it without you!!

I’m looking for a story and hoping someone recognizes it.
          
          The FMC is a traveling photographer. While visiting a friend in Korea who works with K-pop groups, she photographs a man dancing in an alley—later revealed to be Hyunjin. Her friend invites her to dinner with her K-pop circle, which ends up being Stray Kids, and she’s surprised to see Hyunjin there. They immediately click. Later at a café they get spotted by fans and have to run.
          A major theme is them navigating a language barrier: Hyunjin learning English, her learning Korean. Despite her fear of commitment—due to trauma from a past relationship and her constant travel—she agrees to a long-distance relationship. She travels nonstop for photography gigs, and they stay close through calls and FaceTime. There’s a memorable scene where she calls him from a rooftop in another country.
          There’s also a subplot with her brother (possibly a gay lawyer) and their strained relationship, with family expectations and mutual misunderstandings.
          Hyunjin eventually introduces her to his mom, which is a big deal. She’s also working on becoming more financially secure, and there’s a moment where she laughs at people assuming she’s broke despite earning well.
          When she visits Korea, Hyunjin’s friends come over for takeout. Someone suggests a “contract relationship” to help her manage her commitment issues, which she finds too clinical. There’s also a hint that her friend has an unconventional, contract-based relationship with Chan.
          During one visit, there’s a smut scene where Hyunjin apologizes afterward for not asking about birth control/STDs and gently cleans her up.
          Overall, it’s about a woman who’s always on the move, avoiding commitment after a past breakup, slowly learning to let herself connect again.
