2022. At this moment, I was looking for creative outputs to put in my portfolio for the job application.

Then I come across this. 

It felt surreal to see what this platform had become. I was only a 14-year-old girl who had crazy ideas in her mind. I even kept a notebook where I could write stories. I remember that opening this site will make me excited because I had the opportunity to express myself.

I was only a child who was eager to write a fiction starring her love of life. 

It was a long span of years and a lot really changed. My passion was to write and coming to this platform, I realized how far I had been from the passion of this 14-year-old girl. I'm already in college and looking for part-time jobs with my ability to write and my ability to create art. From once was a passion, it then became a way of living. I took a Science related course, far from what I was here. Nevertheless, I still excel but at some point, as I grew a part of me slowly becomes missing. 

Coming back here, it was nice to see how lively, colorful, and simple my teenage years were. Asianfanfics has become my comfort from the academic burdens that I've had during high school. Although I never met some of my friends here, I was thankful because you have been part of my growth.

I am now 21, an adult looking means to live while struggling in college. 

Luhan left Exo, but I still follow him on his social media accounts. Of course, he is my first love.

Exo grew up too and got the recognition that they always deserve. 

BTS became known worldwide and a lot got into KPOP. I was happy a lot are starting to like the music that once I was the only one who could appreciate it. 

I didn't get to finish my stories but at least I got to finish high school.

To you who is reading this, there are so many things that are waiting for you in the future. 

there are so many events that are going to change you. 

But always remember,

to listen to the "child" in your heart.

With all the Love from the now 21-year-old woman,
