The Norm

The Way It Is

To be honest, I don’t know what I’m doing here, right now. My therapist said I should start a blog to help with my anger issues. So, like the good, obedient money bag that I am to him, I decided to make this stupid blog. I didn’t really think this through; what the hell am I supposed to blog about? I don’t exactly have the most interesting life, nor am I surrounded by interesting people. I don’t even know if I have friends. I don’t go to school a lot because 

A) I don’t feel like going. Ever. So I don’t. 

B) I can easily pull the “Mother, I am feeling terrible because of medication” or “mother, I don’t know if I feel stable enough to attend school today” card. 

C) I learn far better on my own time.

And plus. All the stupid kids at school hate me anyway. Just because I’m not there enough of the time to socialize. I’ve even been branded a lesbian because I don’t throw myself around for guys. I apologize for showing a bit of decency. Now, let me get this straight, I don’t take offense to being called a lesbian (equality for all, right?) but it does get tiring after a while. Girls sneer at me and tell me to stay away because their narcissistic selves think I lust after them, and boys don’t go near me because they don’t want to upset the girls they’re trying to bone next. What a stupid way to live; I thought I was in high school, not preschool. 

It would also be a good idea to remain anonymous, because we all know the wonderful things peers are capable of. They can turn something meaningless into something to easily ridicule you about. So that’s it for now, to anyone who is reading. 

Signing off, 

Ji

 

“This is stupid.” I groaned as I hit “enter” and closed my laptop. I looked at my clock, and to my dismay, that entry had not even taken 10 minutes. It was still 6 AM. I was still not sleepy, and I probably had to go to school. My lovely therapist, as mentioned above, said that I was making progress, but not quickly enough, and for that reason, he would stop calling the attendance office at my school to excuse my absences. Facing the harsh reality, I got up, grabbed my towel, and had a shower. I took a very long time, hoping that maybe, just maybe, my mother would become incredibly annoyed and leave me behind, “forcing” me to stay home yet again. Unfortunately, I discovered that I have a distorted sense of time; I got out with just enough time to make it to school. 

I arrived and let me tell you, it was absolutely nothing like fiction would lead you to believe. No ones head turned to follow me, no one whispered louder than necessary so I could hear. Yes, I know, what I said in my blog post wasn’t a lie, but I also don’t go to school with a hoard of wild animals. Kids are cruel, but they aren’t uncivilized enough to make me their first priority. 

“Good morning, Eunji!” I was greeted by a cheery voic

Chapter 24: I must say, you have a very strong character, it exactly what I feel sometimes when you're stressed when you lost your loved one. You can just put everything down on a piece of paper and makes you feel so much better. What's special is that it really brings out your character, and once you shared this to us, we can see a hint of yourself in the story also. I wish you the best in life J :).

Chapter 24: 2nd time rereading this, because there are literally two good Sehun and EunJi fanfictions. But your fanfiction was better in my opinion compared to the other one. In fact, this is my all-time favorite. It was the exact character that I looked for in EunJi, a deeply good-hearted female with a barrier of bitterness and anger around it that made this book all together extremely humorous. I will be so darn happy that you write another EunJi and Sehun fanfiction. ;D

Chapter 24: Maybe because I don't want to say good bye, maybe because I don't want to stop learning, maybe because I don't want to miss her, maybe because I don't want to stop, it's been two days since I knew you update and the complete tag scared me.
So this is the end of my girl's journey? If only we speak in one same language I would probably can describe my honest thought. I cannot say it in english, it still will miss things. So, this is what I surely can say, reading and following your story also learning from it makes me feel like I'm a blessed kid. Thanks for everything you shared to us. Thank you.

And I'm sorry about your loss.. Hey J, we're always here when you need us..

Again thank you.

Chapter 24: Ah, dear J, I'm not even sure how to express myself and the feelings your story has given me. I think you couldn't write a better ending - it made me sad, it made me smile and it made me think, leaving me at the end with this lingering feeling I can't even describe properly.
Reaching the end and saying goodbye is kind of... bittersweet? On one hand I'll miss reading your updates of this story, but on the other hand I can't help it but feel happy that Eunji managed to clean the mess in her life, learned to love herself and stopped pushing away the people who cared about her.
I love the way you work with words and how you express Eunji's thoughts and inner battles.
In the final chapter, I especially enjoyed the conversation between her and Sehun, when they were discussing the difference between wanting and needing someone - it makes one think about his own view on things. And of course the moment they finally get back together was lovely, not cheesy, too sweet or dramatic.
So thank you so so so much for sharing with us "The Way It Is", it was an amazing and unforgettable journey. Congrats on completing the story and I will be looking forward to your next Eunji project :)

P. S. I'm really sorry to hear about your lost. Please, stay strong, I'm sending all my positive and healing thoughts your way!
