As my time to move away from home draws nearer and nearer, I’m slowly learning to appreciate the time I spend with my family more.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have spent most of my high school career with the loving community of Island Youth.

I think this turned out pretty well. I like experimenting and creating artsy, borderline edgy/lame, photos. I fear so much judgement that people have of my fascination but I’m slowly trying to let go of that insecurity because my love for photography and other arts is my form of expression so why should I be afraid to be myself?

I’ve realised that over time that the only real advantage of an iPhone is its’ amazing camera... other than that, I’m perfectly content with my Android :)

I think of the most insightful things past 3am

Okay so I initially put this up on Instagram but it looked out of place so I moved it to my fandom Tumblr account but then it seems more appropriate here so here it is...

One night, my friend sent me a beautiful image of the Hong Kong night skyline and you could see the reflection of lit buildings in the still water. But the reflection was blurry, as it normally is in water and in my sleepy yet wide awake state, I began to think about... well life really. I know that that’s not very specific but stay with me. In that moment, i realised that I preferred the murky reflections over the actual buildings. They were a blur of reality, out of focus and mixed together. l hate that I like it better.

I like to think that I’m a relatively realistic person but honestly, is anyone realistic? No matter how much truth we force ourselves to face or how well we understand reality, there are always false hopes and dreams at the back of our minds. Things that exist in an idealistic world where things can be perfect, simple.

But if the world was like that, we wouldn’t be on Earth. There is no perfect world. That world doesn’t exist, not here at least. We all know that facing reality would solve a lot of our problems, at least for me, I’d able to think clearly and probably make better decisions. But all I want to do is keep fooling myself into looking at the blurred image and live in my mind, filling it with possibilities.

Sometimes, I just don’t want to wake up

Foreword

Because when life gives you lemons, you should really just be wondering why the heck people personified life.

I’ve ultimately given up on making creativity a consistent thing in my life because IB is hard and coursework sucks. So if you came here looking for my photography - which I’m not too sure why you would be - well tough luck. Try adding me on Facebook, a lot of my photos are there because why not.

We’re currently 6 days away from summer, my last summer before (finally) graduating high school and I want to treasure every moment of it. No one’s really going to reach this blog and that’s okay because it’s my creative space. I’ll write, draw, do covers. I can do whatever I want and have no fear of judgement, hate or ridicule. Our world already has too much of that and I deal with it enough as it is. This is going to be my safe space and if you plan on coming here just to ruin that, please kindly leave.

No matter what grudge you hold against me, if you came here to see behind the annoying person you see in school, to dig up dirt on my life, please leave. I’m sorry if I’ve offended you and I hope with all my heart that you can forgive whatever I have done to wrong you. If you’ve come here because you are interested in getting to know me, by all means, take a gander.

I’m all filled up with love for you, for Jesus, for singing, for writing and for just about any other way I can find happiness outside of worldly conversations and from peer approval. I’m just a girl trying to understand the things that God has thrown my way.

I’m trying.
