Hi Everyone!
          
          Logged into this account after almost a month with a tonne of notifications, but due to time constraints, I'll be unable to go through all of them. Apologies if I miss any important updates from you guys but you can always reach out to me via DMs and I'll be sure to check your messages and reply to you when I find the time <3
          
          Also, checked on a few contests I participated in earlier, and my book: "The Downsides Of Popularity" won 1st Place in the Celestial Nexus Book Awards ! Thank you to @lupe6583v for presenting my book with such an honour! ❤️
          
          Along with that, I won First Place in a Poetry Contest hosted by @TheHappyWriters ! Thank you to the community and @footnoteofhappiness for hosting this contest <3
          
          Feeling excited because of these amazing wins >.< !
          
          But before I leave, I would like to drop a question for you guys: How Are You Doing? Is anything exciting going on/off Wattpad in your life atp?

Hi Everyone!
          
          Just popped in to say- 3 variants of the SAME FREAKING ALBUM???
          
          I'm manifesting 6 bonus tracks including the 3 we already know of, because- well- *ahem* 6 *cough* YEARS...
          
          Okay, retreating to my study den again, bye!
          
          PACE!
          
          P.S. I hope you're doing well too, if not- dive into a favourite hobby of yours or grab a book (physical ones) ! You'll feel good again for sure ^^

Hi Everyone!
          
          I'm taking a short hiatus until May 8th for personal reasons and exams.
          
          Will see you all in the summer! <3
          
          PACE!
          
          P.S. I might check in on here once a month or so!
          Feel free to unfollow me during my inactive period, I don't care anymore :)

I took a nap in the evening to re-energize myself only to wake up from this vivid, absurd dream of me wearing an armor and slaying people with a sword ☠️ ?
          
          Probably the after-effects of this poem I wrote today and also published on my writing account @with-love-rose !
          It's based on a prompt of a lovely POETRY contest by @TheHappyWriters so go check it out if you wish to pen down a beautiful poem too <3
          
          You can check my poem for this prompt, titled "home ?" in my poetry anthology, linked below, and let me know your thoughts on it in the comments! ^^

          P.S. Had a very absurd/wild dream recently? Then let me know as a reply to this announcement! <3

The tracklist— OH. MY. GOD.

↻· theme change to prepare for april 19th !
          
          "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT" already sounds like Taylor (Lana's Version) and I'm damn sure this is gonna be my favourite album— I'M SO EXCITED!!
          
          Also, Miley Cyrus finally caught her butterflies, and Taylor broke the records and became the soul artist to win 4 AOTYS— feels unbelievable <3
          
          However— #JusticeForLana
          She deserved to walk away with at least ONE Grammy T~T

if i see one more post about why Midnights doesn't deserve AOTY— i'm officially gonna lose it—
          
          like— fine, you don't like it, not your vibe / taste but it doesn't make the album "undeserving"— literally these people who've never made music / albums have no right to call an artist's work "undeserving". Midnights might not be one of her best works, but it's as deserving as the rest of the nominated album, 'cause otherwise, it wouldn't have been nominated in the first place, period now go, sleep.

shoutout to a new graphic contest in case anyone's interested in joining! :)
