Hi, are you there? 

Hey, all. 
          
          It's been a long few months! As I mentioned in my last message, I got into uni, and uni life hit me like a truck, lol. My apologies that I have been inactive for so long, and I'm truly sorry to those who gave constructive feedback that I usually respond to in the comments. I would still be minimally active, but I'm slowly and steadily working on my WIPs. Thanks to all who've read my works and kept supporting me when I'm gone. My heart goes out to each and every one of you (: Until the next fic, then! 
          
          Best, Billie xx

Hey everyone! Today's my official one-year anniversary of being on Wattpad! 
          
          I've encountered a number of special moments up here, so I thought I would list of a few things I did that I think was notable during a year on Wattpad. In no particular order, I
          
          -Made friends (yipee!)
          -Got actual followers (tysm<3)
          -Got over 100k reads on my work (I still can't believe it)
          -Dealt with hate comments (not fun)
          -Read life-changing fics
          -Read forever scarring fics
          -Published fics that I instantly regretted (lol, they're still up here tho)
          -Started writing the sequel to Post-peace Chaos (WHOO-HOO)
          
          Being on Wattpad is definitely a very special and unique experience for me, it's another platform for creative thoughts and free expression. Although Wattpad definitely has its flaws, all in all, I did enjoy most of my interactions with all my readers and followers, and it warms my heart every time y'all give out supportive, hilarious, or constructive feedback. I even got the chance to interact frequently with a fic writer I look up to a lot up here, which I cherish very much. 
          
          Also, unrelated to the topic, I just thought that I'd share - I got into uni! I'm going to be studying in my dream school and a major I love. I wish all of you who are still studying and in school the absolute best on what you wish to achieve, regardless it's academically, creatively, or related to self-progress. Everyone of you is beautiful and unique, don't be afraid to shine (:
          
          Lastly, thanks to everyone who made this year so different and special for me! Huge thanks to all of you who supported me in any way, I love you all and hope we can all progress and grow together up here on this platform <3

Thought of giving my profile a bit of a makeover for a while now, and I finally did! Even if that means saying goodbye to my old icon of me doing the splits in the air ): Worth it though, I love the new one I drew, lol! Updated profile pic and description y'all!
          
          And yes, I love dorky-framed glasses *shrugs*

TW: Self-harm, attempted suicide, breakdown (The first and last two paragraphs are safe, please do read, they contain important messages. The text is too long so I broke it down to two parts.) 
          
          I just wanted to send out this announcement to say: Check up on others. Not just your friends, family, or loved ones, but also those you may not have paid much attention to before, whether they seem happy, normal, or down. You never know when people need help. 
          
          A classmate of mine today had a severe mental breakdown that quickly turned into a highly physical and dangerous one. She was uncontrollable with her emotions and started yelling and screaming, hurling things every which way, and repeatedly hitting herself with a textbook. It was extremely lucky that everyone in our class was alert since she had been acting weird for a couple of days, so we already sent for help when we sensed something coming from a mile away before the breakdown started. 
          
          Our homeroom teacher, counselors, and numerous directors arrived quickly. She threatened to kill herself when one of the counselors approached her. She took the straps of her bookbag and looped them around her neck, threatening to commit suicide right there and then. When the counselor tried to talk to her calmly about it, she proceeded to head toward the door, as she could easily jump from there and we are three floors up. Everyone outside at the time had to literally barricade the door. 
          
          Thank Lord that the counselor was obviously experienced and the escalated situation calmed a little, but she was still very unstable and the whole class was quickly evacuated. It was the biggest fortune in the unfortunate that she didn't have any weapons that could do immediate damage to herself or others at the time. She is now safe back at home getting rest, and no one was physically harmed.

I just found out that I WON THE SLYTHERIN MISCONCEPTION CONTEST!!! Ahhhhhhh I'm so so psyched!

Wore an Ed Sheeran T-shirt to buy a meatball sub today and Shape of You came on. I feel like the clerk and I simultaneously vibing to Ed is the purest thing ever lol.

          These three months on break have been a wild ride! Though uni application stuff is still driving me crazy atm, I have just a little more free time now and will be writing once again! 
          
          SO much has happened these three months: Post-peace Chaos is on the verge of 100K reads (OMG!!!), feedback and comments are still coming in on all my works... These make me so happy, and it wouldn't have happened without all of your support! Thank you for your understanding and patience during this period!
          
          AND, to celebrate, I wrote another fic!!! It's not much, but I thought it was pretty cute and wanted to share it with you! Love you guys x
