the girl behind the words




[ Paper  || N. Hli || shawty_12 || hli_12 ]

You may call me Paper. I am a woman searching for her voice in the crowd. I am a dreamer dreaming of Paris and Seoul. I am a soul yearning for true freedom. I am a reader of many journeys. I am a writer of many lives and deaths. I am a simpleton with many reasons, and sometimes, with too little words. I am a collector of hope and love. I am me, and I enjoy writing L-O-V-E.

This blog is an outlet for me to express myself and share my imaginations. Some writings are based on personal experiences while others are from dreams. The rest though are just spur-of-the-moment scribbles. However, each and every one of these writings are very precious to me. When I am at my lowest, these writings are what gives me hope. Not only do they keep me sane, but they also keep me whole. Therefore, I ask that you respect my writings. I absolutely do not welcome stealing, which means no copying or posting my writings anywhere without my permission. Besides a few remaining ones on Soompi, all stories and writings of mine has been removed from other online forums. This is the only place where I will post my past and future writings. Please respect my decisions and works.

I started my blogging journey back in the fall of 2008 but dwindled to a pause in the summer of 2013. College, change, and loss knocked me over, and I simply could not get back up for a while. I experienced isolation, confusion, and depression to a degree that I could not even hear my own voice. So, I took a break from personal blogging. In the summer of 2014, I picked up blogging again; however, this time, I decided to blog my writings instead- a different approach to remaining sane. My updates are very inconsistent, but when I do, I usually have a lot to tell at once whether it is through stories, poems, or scribbles. Every piece contains an ounce of my truths:
I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I am afraid of.  -Joss Whedon
I also have a photo blog that I started in the summer of 2015, which I guess can be the equivalence of a personal blog, for it contain snippets of my fleeting memories, thoughts and feelings. Enjoy, and remember to spread or share the love if you stopped by.
