Anyone ready for 2023 to GTFO?
2023 has been a very draining year for many. Let’s go ahead and get the cat out of the bag. Every week, more like every day, it’s something new. Even when I am doing things for fun, I am with the dread of how dark the world is and want to lie down. -
Amaya Janelle, the other writer of Um, Do Not Call Me Sis.
For those who don’t know, the new book Um, Do Not Call Me Sis was not only written by me. It was also written by a great friend of mine named Amaya “My My” Janelle -
A letter to someone who hurt me.
While you left me with all this trauma, there is something: I refuse to feel the way you made me feel about myself ever again. -
I am so picky when it comes to cosplay.
Being more involved with the cosplay community within the last few years, there tends to be so much negativity that surrounds individuality and the activity. It's interesting because cosplay is something plenty of people do, and for that reason alone, I am so picky when it comes to it. -
Terra Markov and Evie Zamora Mirror Each Other.
Both of these girls needed a better support system. It’s sad because they both became friends with decent people but ended up betraying them in the end because of their trauma and pain. Evie and Terra both wanted a family; no, they needed one—loneliness for someone that young is detrimental to them. I can attest to that, I went through a period of my teen years where I felt that I had no friends and couldn’t trust anyone. -
Being an obsessive fangirl is not cute, and I didn’t learn that until I stopped being one.
Swarm freaked me out because, while I did not want to hurt someone for disliking my favorites, I understood stan culture and why people turn to it. -
My brand turns two today. Here’s the truth about owning a small business.
Wow, it’s been two years already? Entrepreneurship is something that has always interested me since I was a little girl, and I am thankful to be able to pursue it as a career path. Regarding the subject of work, I think we need more honesty! I strongly advocate letting people know what they are getting into. Here are a few things I have learned since my brand became official. -
Lila Rossi: A case where the obsessive fangirl goes too far.
I have developed a theory that Lila may have followed Adrien before the timeline we see within the series. Adrien is famous worldwide; while some people have no idea who he is (like the main character of the series didn't know he existed until he was in her class), overall, he can not go anywhere without being recognized by someone. When we first meet Lila in the series, she’s talking to Adrien. When I realized that Lila’s character wouldn’t exist if it were not for Adrien, I started to take note of all the odd things Lila did in relation to him.
