A Truth.


I love to write. I really do. Despite my frequent grammar and spelling mistakes, it is something I truly enjoy. I'm actually writing a novel, which I love like it's a living creature. The thing is, only very few people know about it. And since this blog is under a false name I can actually tell you that I am writing a book. I'm not ready to spill the details as this is a blog and ideas can be taken, but I will tell you that it is a fantasy fiction novel. I think it has potential, but then again I might just be byist, haha.
Anyhow, the reason why I came to blog today is that, back in 2009-2010, I was a very lonely soul. I left my high school and decided to do correspondence because of bullying, and also because correspondence was a way to teach me responsibility and about the real world. The only problem was was that my world of friends and social times was left behind. I became a recluse and hid in my own house, only venturing out when I had to go to the store or get my hair cut. In a way my social etique stopped and I very much struggled when it came to conversations with others. I buried myself in music and my studies as a way of coping from, basically, having no friends. I learnt who my true friends were because the ones who called themselves my friends didn't talk to me since I left. I couldn't say this then but I'm definitely better off without them.
During my year of "isolation" I spent a lot of time with my nana. She was my rock through all of my hard times and for that I am truly grateful. I love/loved dearly.
One of my old friends from middle school actually rang me up one day and pretty much demanded that I get out of the house and hang with her. She helped me also brake through some of my struggles and even today I consider her one of the main reasons I was able to grasp some of the old me. Bit by bit some of my old friends from high school started getting in contact with me and helped me locate some of the old me that was lost in that lonely year.
Even though that year was a trying time for me, I am so very grateful for that lonely year. It taught me so much; to be grateful for your friends and family and appreciate the ones in your life, never lose faith in who you are and most of all follow your dreams. If I never went through that time in my life, I wouldn't have found the path for my novel.
This isn't really a secret. It's more of a truth. Despite rocky mountains and treacherous rivers and rocks you'll face in life, it's meant to happen for a reason, and with persistence and hope, things will work your way if you work hard and never give up.

Silver secret.

  
I am a good secret keeper. Don't let anyone else tell you different. If you were to tell me something that you wanted kept hidden from others, I would listen with open ears and proudly keep my mouth sealed. Though, when it comes to my own, I tend to tell the ones I trust. Other times I keep my secrets locked away in what I call my secret jewellery box.
I've often trusted the wrong person and told them things I've kept close to my heart, but a day later, that close thing is whispered from one mouth to another eager ear. Sadly it never fails to impress me how fast gossip travels.
This isn't a blog where I complain about the people around me and how much I hate how they never keep my secrets. Although people who betray your trust is very disappointing, I have learned to let go and move on. No, this blog is about my life in the greater aspect; my struggles, my journeys, laughs, losses and a whole lot of other adventures. This is your front row seat to how I handle my transition into becoming a woman, and letting go on the things and people I've left behind.
But, before I begin, I should tell you a little about myself. For this blog I have given myself a fake name. I guess in a way it protects my sanity-and in a way shields you from it too. This alias gives me freedom. My "name" is Demi Chaseller. I'm nineteen, a teenaged girl and a Leo. I love to write, run and absolutely Love nature. Childish as it is, I have a favorite number- 17. I'm a little weird at times, but at least I'm not crazy. I love my family and friends. This is my last year of being a teenager, so I'm making the best of it.
This blog is your special key into my secret jewellery box. I hope you enjoy my twisting journey as much as I do.
Happy reading,
Demi. xx
