Before I found this website, I was absolutely innocent. I was unable to express myself. I was unable to write anything other than a few simple sentences. I had only read two novels, and my ability to understand what I read was horrible. 

After pulling many all-nighters binge fanfictions, I came to understand about how my actions and words could hurt a second and third party. It expanded my perspective of what the other could be going through. So much so that, I'm literally living on the proverb "Treat others as you would like to be treated". 

Reading that many fanfictions also improved my speaking, writing and understanding skills. And of course, my innocence was long gone. In fact, I found this website through that kind of a fanfiction on tumblr. 

I had made an account here exactly a year and six months ago, on 13th November 2015. Read over a hundred fanfictions, became friends with many great people, went through many username changes, and account deactivations. I'm finally motivated enough to challenge myself to take this a little more seriously and write a little.
