Before Strawberry Candies - Ariana grande x You (girlxgirl)

Part 11

The next day I woke up around 8ish and had breakfast with the fam then I went to the gym nearby. Later my brother and I went to look for houses.

We took a look at like 3 but none of them were that perfect for me, so we called it a day and headed back home at around 5. Nonna already started to make dinner which we helped with when we got home. Had dinner together then I just got back to my room and had some writing done. A couple of melodies came into my mind too and recorded those on my phone.

I wasn't really tired so I decided to pull an all-nighter to work on my album. Came up with concepts for my cover and stuff. The art design and shit. Got some more writing done, then I kinda hit a wall so I just went on my phone.

Lately, I've been getting more attention from the media and the people. And that scares me. I was always working from the back and wasn't really in the spotlight. Obviously, people know who I am but didn't give that much attention to me, which was perfect. I knew that I signed up for this when I started to work with Ariana, but it still bothers me a bit. If I want to do my music then I have to get used to this.

It was around 4 in the morning and I was still scrolling through social media. I just read the comments on my page or read articles about myself. Yeah, stupid af. It's addictive, once you get into it you can't get out.
I tried to just close it, but then a new one appeared and then another and then another. Just read them desperately. Which just put my confidence under a fucking rock.

A couple of seconds later a text showed up on the top of my screen and I immensely smiled as I saw who it's from. She just kept sending the messages, and I couldn't keep up.

Angel🤍: hiii
Angel🤍: sry I didn't call you today, kinda had a shitty day
