Your writing about being shy and lonely was beautiful. I feel that way all the time, about being scared of ending up as the crazy cat lady and observing people only when they're looking away. I always get advice from my teachers telling me to raise my hand more. And this just made me so happy to know that I am not the only one feeling this and that it's also not a bad thing. Thank you so much. Keep on writing because your blog is one of the best I have stumbled across

:) I’m glad you feel the same way that I do. It makes me feel less alone.

Thank you so, so much for reading my work. xo
