FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL AND I'M GOING TO DIE OUT THERE :D
          	
          	I woke up at 5 am this morning, 3 hours early because I needed to get work done online and stuff... anyways I'm on 5 hours of sleep.
          	
          	My hair was a horrible mess when I woke up? Like one side was sticking up and I couldn't get it to be normal?? So uh that was nice
          	
          	While I was eating breakfast, a friend sent me a true crime podcast... and for some reason I thought I could just watch it while eating...
          	
          	TW: SENSITIVE TOPIC!
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	UGHHH WHYYY DID I DO THATTTTT OMG NOW I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND IT'S ALL THAT'S ON MY MIND OMFG >_< I'll spare you the details but let's just say it was a case where it was obvious that there were other forces at play, but the cops js said it was prob a suicide case and didn't look into it because she was  a brown immigrant :( It happened at a Walmart. And omfg when the girl's mom screamed, I swear I felt all of her pain for an entire second. It was horrifying. 
          	
          	No but that was actually so sad and disturbing. Anyone can ask me for more details but likeeeeee I won't say anything more for now
          	
          	I'M GOING TO BE GREETING TEACHERS AND MEETING NEW STUDENTS AND THAT TRUE CRIME PODCAST IS GONNA BE THE ONLY THING ON MY MIND >_<
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	
          	Okay anyways, uh I'm lwk nervous for high school and I'm afraid I won't be able to get any work done for Wattpad or other online projects I'm a part of :( But idk we'll see! I made the volleyball team so I get out of PE :D but uhhh now I'm trapped at the school until like 7 pm... sighhhhhhhhhhh
          	
          	People tell me I'm going to like high school. I really really hope they were right.
          	
          	AHHHH I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT WHY DID I WATCH THAT VIDEO WHY DID I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE MYSELF SM

@s1llyBerry oh whoops I thought I responded to this mb. 
          	  
          	  OK THANK GOD YOUR SCHOOL DOESNT HAVE ALL STUDENTS LEAVE AT 7 lol. Scared me.
          	  
          	  That’s an interesting assignment? I’ve never had an assignment where I was allowed to use ai lol. Hope that goes well for you tho and that u enjoy the assignment despite hating AI lol.
          	  
          	  I’m not gonna lie, I have no idea how to respond to that, probably because I’ve never had friends just abandon me like that. Sure I’ve lost friendships, but it was all because they just weren’t maintained enough to last. Honestly I kinda feel like your friends rn that makes me feel like a bum lol (bc I normally don’t have the strength to maintain friendships so when the time comes, I kinda just abandon it? Like if I see them maybe I’ll wave hello, have a small chat, but I’ll never seek them out to be good friends, and now reading your messages makes me realize that the way I handle friendships probably isn’t good. But at the same time I don’t think I’m interesting enough for someone to be like “oh no I’m never gonna hear from them again, I’m so sad now.” Y’know? Idk if that makes sense lol).  One thing I can relate to is simply loosing friendships in general, including the ones you thought would be lifelong. I used to have a best friend that lived on my block, and we hung out all the time throughout our school years together. Then covid hit, and slowly everything started changing. We didn’t hang out as much, we fell into different friend groups, and then suddenly we practically lost touch. I know it’s not as bad as your issues, since I could theoretically just reconnect with them if I wanted to, and your friends left you (for some reason, ur awesome so they’re passing up a good time), but it still hurts a lot to loose someone you thought you’d be forever connected with. I SHALL SEND YOU A VIRTUAL HUG FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT!!

@LightningTrail I only stay that late for volleyball lol! Everyone else leaves at like 3 XDD
          	  
          	  It does feel slow rn but all the teachers are js doing icebreakers and stuff... although my ADV ELA teacher did make us do an assignment where we had to write a prompt for AI and then have the AI write us a poem and then generate an image based off the poem it made?? IDK IT WAS WEIRD I HATED IT RAHHHHH I HATE AI
          	  
          	  I kinda already sobbed my eyes out for five hours because my friends are such FAKE BUMS and they said we'd do this thing together and they immediately ditched me and ignored me and whenever I made the effort to seek them out, they left convienently as I got there? Like... we've been best friends for years? And they just promised we'd be together like... YESTERDAY??!! but suddenly they've made friends with other people in their shared sports and now they're too good for me... it makes me sad because I know I'd never do that to them. I'm also the nicest person you'd ever meet irl. I'm literally a doormat. Anything anybody wants, I suddenly am. Sighhhh I'm getting new friends atp :( I'm just disappointed because I really thought these friends were going to be lifelong

I NEED YOUR HELP!! Idk what to do. If any of you here are like... code-deciphering buffs, I could really use some help rn. It's this one line at the end of the code that reads: i CAnT AFViliat⁠
          
          The rest goes like this:
          
          Iypun oly ihjr
          (When decoded, it reads: Bring her back)
          
          Ozb svi gl ivhg
          (When decoded, it reads:) Lay her to rest.
          
          Owll yae pcilwuc oriz yae rijc xavc vao?⁠
          (When decoded, it reads:) Will you protect them when you find them out?
          
          JLQ KRK CZYJ GNR POLYLEIJ.
          (When decoded, it reads:) YOU DID WHAT WAS REQUIRED.
          
          As far as I know, she uses Vigenère deciphers L, H, C and the Atbash cipher. But I think the last one is something completely different.
          
           i CAnT AFViliat⁠
          
          Any help would be appreciated!!

@LightningTrail ah, it's fine now. It was just a little scare. Apparently my friend just wanted to make something angsty, I was scared something darker was going on. But the code doesn't really matter anymore ig
            
            but apparently the one line I couldn't translate was supposed to translate to : "Remorseless"
            
            but even the person who wrote it confused herself and forgot the key XDD

AHHHHHH I JUST GOT MY SCHEDULE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, I'M SO FUCKING SCARED DUDE, I CAN'T GO TO HIGH SCHOOL, I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE
          
          I wanted my career path to be in education but I didn't get into the class?? So I'm in theatre now :D I'm actually glad because apparently the "education pathway" actually taught you how to raise like an infant and swaddle little babies and stuff.. I do NOT wanna be a daycare teacher, no thank you. But with theater it's pretty versatile and I can learn how to capture an audience's attention, get them engaged, etc etc, improv, how to problem solve/pivot when things go wrong, etc etc etc u get the gist
          
          my friend and I tried to get into the same class BUT SHE'S SUCH A GOD DAMN BUM BRO, MY BUM ASS FRIEND WAS TOO AFRAID TO ASK TO SWITCH PERIOD BRO... AND THEN SHE CHANGED HER MIND AND DECIDED TO GO ASK BUT BY THEN IT WAS TOO LATE CUZ THE CLASS GOT FULL RAHHHHHHHHHHH 
          
          what a bum 
          
          jkjk ofc but like... COME ON, I literally have the golden lineup of all schedules, I got SO LUCKY. All of my teachers are SO GREAT AND THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING AND THEY WANT US TO SUCCEED!! i so happy 
          
          I'm bored so because of that I'm going to just randomly upload stories that I write hehe, I have a small collection of doomed yuri ocs. (And I might be converting it into a film as we speak?? :0 I have a team of scriptwriters rn so I have to make some templates rn so they know what to do for each scene I assign them... good god who knew that directing a film could be so tiring >_< I didn't think there'd be like 200 scenes RAHHHHHHH)
          
          I'm growing my portfolio in the voice acting community on Discord >;3 Unfortunately it's the gacha va community... BUT IT'S NOT ALL BAD! SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY LOCKED TF IN AND IT'S INSANE!! so many awesome people :)) And I am voice acting and scriptwriting in some indies animated projects!
          
          I wonder if anyone reads these announcements lol
          
          Does anyone even read the weekly quote on my profile? Hmmmm

My book is currently rated as mature. I've decided to revert it back to normal since nothing really happens. Sure there's violence and stuff, but it's not too graphic imo. I've read more graphic books that didn't need the mature warning. And I don't plan on doing smut or anything related to that because it makes me uncomfy :3
          
          AND I'M ALSO TIRED OF NOT SEEING WHAT RANK MY STORY IS IN. RAHHHHH
          
          so uh yeah, I might update it in the future. Depends on how psychologically traumatizing I want the finale to be. I was going to make it very dark and just like kill everyone off but likeeeeeeee I'm not THAT mean :)) 
          
          so uh yeah

s1llyBerry

And for my other project called Searching For Home (it's still in the drafts lol), I will keep it rated mature and then once a few people read it, I will ask if I should keep it as mature or not. I personally think it will remain rated Mature, but like idk lol
            
            And Hope Against Hope will probably be mature due to themes that will come alone with the story

AND VOLLEYBALL. HOLY VOLLEYBALL BRO. HALF OF MY DAY IS DEDICATED TO VOLLEYBALL. MY WHOLE SUMMER WAS DEDICATED TO VOLLEYBALL. RAHHHHHHHHHH

@maybe_alyssah WHERE WOULD I EVEN WRITE IT?? I wouldn't do that to people :3 Especially since I've got a nice order and timeline worked out for the next 5 chapters... BUT MAYBE I'LL KILL HIM OFF IN THE FUTURE :0 OH WAIT THAT'S PERFECT!! I'LL GIVE THEM ALL THEIR HAPPY ENDING AND THEN I'LL HAVE APHMAU WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

How do you find motivation again when you never had motivation in the first place? Maybe writing was just a phase. I'll pick things up again when I find motivation. But maybe motivation's just another phase. I'm sorry for wasting your time.

s1llyBerry

@LightningTrail Thanks :3 I just wish I hadn't burned out like this. It always made me really sad to read a good story only to realize that the author hadn't updated to the next part in like 3 years. So I swore I'd never be the same lolzahs... I guess life just caught up to me. Like I have the time rn, but I just can't do it. I switch things around and everything, but it feels like I'm ready to let go of it already even though it's not even finished. I'll get back on it some time, I just hope it's soon. I miss being so full of ideas that I wanted to share with everyone ;3

And the reason I say this is because I know it’s true! Like, now my story obsession follows a different show with a different form of reading (comic books), and it hasn’t died yet! Maybe it’s because I haven’t shared it with too many people, or because art is easier for me than writing is, but it shows me that my passion can be refilled back to the brim like it used to be, which means you can get it back too. Just take a breather and get some you-time.

I would say that it was your passion leading your motivation. I’ve always been a daydreamer, with a thousands stories playing in my head, original or not. And after I finished the MyStreet series, I was overflowing with Aphmau ideas—because Aphmau’s channel is like my brain 24/7 lol, making up crazy stories every day because it’s fun. So because my passion was to the brim, I finally decided to write something! But after burnout and writers block slowly took over, the reason I started—the passion—was slowly forgotten, and I didn’t find writing fun anymore. And I don’t think writing for you was just a phase, because you are VERY talented for your age. So my suggestion? Take a break and find out why you started. Get that creative passion back from the ashes lol.

And another reason why the next chapter's release is taking so long is because I'm working on another project. It was supposed to be for April Fools, but ummm as you can see it is no longer April.
          
          SPOILERS AHEAD:
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          The story is called Searching For Home, and it takes place inside of Aphmau's newest comic (that I hated with a passion!!) called Searching For Home. I could tell I was definitely not the target audience, so I decided I wanted to rewrite it with my own take on it. Rn I'm like 1/3 into the plot, and it's going pretty good. Definitely beefened up my writing style for this (cuz I wanted to practice writing in Third Person so I'm experienced enough when I finish When Realms Break and move onto Hope Against Hope.)
          
          If anyone here wants to see a small teaser of it, let me know and I'll put a small snippet of it into my Book of Yap. Thanks for sticking around! :3
