If You're An Evil Witch I Will Punch You For Fun

My name is Houa. I am 24. My likes include Asian Dramas (more specifically Kdramas but not at all limited to them.), Meat, Disney Movies, chocolate, Digimon, pretty much most 90's era stuff and more. I am an aspiring writer who is always day dreaming about the disgusting dork thy name is Lee Minho, ugly sweaters and endless endorsements and all. If you are a Minoz, I automatically love you! And if you are, i definitely do tag Lee Minho. So if you just want him my search bar will do you well. #Lee Minho (no space between Min+ho) Shout to my girls #Teambulge! I love you guys! If there's anything anyone wants to know about me or if anyone wants to come hang and fangirl with me, my ask is always open. Or if you really want to have some fun come follow me on Twitter @MyBrokenCompass. Just give me a mention. XD Have a fangirl day everyone!

Have I reposted this?  I think I have.  Have I reposted it recently?  Not recently enough!  

We think the face we see in the mirror is the real you.  (Same with selfies, for the same reasons.)  But it’s… not even a little bit the real you.

How many times in the reboots did I ask Chidi for help, he refused to help me and then I had to get better on my own? Never. He always helped you. God. Really? Yep. No matter how I set it up, you found him, confessed you didn’t belong, asked him for help, and he said yes.

Young Adult vs. New Adult

What’s the Difference, Anyway?

So many people seem to think YA and NA are the same thing, or NA is YA but with the sex. Have a bullet list from someone who’s tired of seeing them lumped into the same category.

Young Adult

the target audience is 12 to 18 years old

the protagonists are usually kiddos that still live at home and need their parents’ signatures on official documents

themes commonly work with personal relationships on an emotional level, and do a lot of coming-of-age/coming-into-ones-own-identity

sex, swearing, and violence are all watered down for a younger audience

New Adult

the target audience is 18 to 30 years old

the protagonists are of the moving-out age and can start making the big decisions on their own

themes commonly encompass the overall lifestyle shift of taking on adult responsibilities, moving away from home, and dealing with the consequences of the aforementioned big decisions

there is potential the sex, and the swearing, and the violence

These are incomplete lists, but the point is please, please, please stop equating these two different, but equally valuable, genres.

“We are not the burning sensation of Jameson slithering down your throat or the fingerprints on the bottle of pills you stole. We are not the internal bruises my mother’s hands left in my memory or the unloving hug my father gave me, once. We are not scabs I pick tattooed on my heart or the ones you still feel imprinted in your soul; we are, we are more.”

“I was born a garden and life gave me seeds some didn’t grow but others bloomed gracefully I tried to show them off their colors, their strength the way they moved with the wind and shined in the sun The days it rained too hard they wither until it was no more but always, there was always another bulb waiting for the first day of spring so it could reveal itself again.”
