Okay, so I've already talked about this before and everything, but I think I need to address is again, hopefully for the last time.

Anyone taking my stories, I'm angry, but mostly disappointed. I’m disappointed that you had to take someone else’s hard work.

Society today, in my eyes and mind, is very "cookie cutter", people trying to make you be an "ideal person". You hear pretty much the same things everywhere, "Oh, you should do well in school so you can go to a successful university" or  "Choose a safe major so you can make money" or "Get a good job to make said money" or be this be that but don't be this or don't be that or don't do this etc. etc. What I'm trying to say is that I feel like creativity, to the average person, is slowly being taken away.

I've seen my peers be discouraged from doing what they want, from even wanting to give it a try, because they're too scared of what society has said to them. Because they were beaten down so many times that they don't see the point in trying to get back up again. I've seen it happen too many times.

There need to be people like EXO or VIXX or BTS or Big Bang. They’re the people who can offer their hand to guide us to the future, who can say “Hey, don’t be afraid to try and do what you love, if it’s what you love, then that’s all that matters.” They’re the people who are able to help the average person like you or me be able to get back up, to go “You know what, I can try to do what I love. Sure, it might not work out, and that’s okay, because then I’ll be able to say I tried.” They’re the people who can show us that it’s okay to not do what society wants to mold us into, that we can be ourselves.

And the point I want to make, is that I want my work to not only give you guys joy in reading it, but I want to be able to get through my stories that you can be you. That it doesn’t matter what society does, allow yourself to be creative. Allow your imagination to run free, just like Tao did with his paintings in Finding Our Home. Allow yourself to truly do what you love, just like Yoongi and Jimin and Taekwoon and Yixing and everyone else I’ve written for in my longer stories. Are some of them a stretch? Yes, of course they are. Is it harder to see that idea in some of my fics? Again, yes, because it wasn’t the focus of the fic. But that’s not the point, everyone in my fics are able to do what they love, they’re able to be who they are. And I want that message to be given to you guys.

Which is why I’m disappointed. Taking my fics, while it does anger me because I’ve spent so many nights staying up until I can’t tell if my screen is tilting because my computer is glitching or I’m falling asleep only to see it taken, disappoints me. It shows to me that, even though you may have good intentions, you’re not trying to use your own brain. You’re not trying to be imaginative or creative, you’re just taking something else from someone. So yes, it disappoints me because it shows me how you missed the point in my fics.

I write, to convey messages. Yes, I write to give you guys some form of entertainment. Yes, I write to read your comments which is a huge highlight for me. And yes, I write when I have too many ideas in my head. But I write to try to tell you guys something. I write to try and tell you all something, you might see it as advice and wisdom, or you can see it as lies and bs. Your interpretation is your own, but I just ask that you try and find it. But I’ll give you a big one: Be yourself, allow yourself to at least try and do what you love, and let yourself be imaginative and creative.

Does that make sense? I’m sorry if it doesn’t, but it’s something that I thought I should address. I’m sorry about the privacy settings being so tight and everything, but I didn’t want my work to be taken, I didn’t want to see that I had failed at my own personal goal of trying to give you guys messages through the stories. I’m sorry that this is probably a little too philosophical and everything, but it’s something I wanted to say. Thank you all for reading and commenting and upvoting and supporting my fics, it really does mean so much to me. I hope you’re all well, and I’ll see you all in the stories. Bye (^_^)V
