Don’t Use Your Mental Illness as a Crutch
Sometimes it’s best that I don’t look at the traits or qualities of people that have bipolar disorder.

How Kpop Changed My Life – Part TWO: Fan Wars
This is Where Kpop Gets STUPID I really hate this subject. I really hate the people that promote it. This is kind of when I hate Kpop in general.
