Violette Adams: Hello there! My name is Violette Adams. But, since we are going to get well acquainted in the coming weeks, you guys are allowed to call me Vi, okay? I am sixteen years old and am currently trying to make sense of my bizarre life. My parents are half Indian and they can be a bit...sexist. That's actually one of the reasons why I favour feminism. (I mean, excluding the fact that I am a woman who appreciates what our foremothers went through to get the rights that we sometimes end up taking for granted today) I am not an extremist about anything really but if you're going to be an asshole about race, gender, etc, Im going to go ham on you. Okay? Okay. Note that I said "if you're being an asshole". I am not gonna attack you for having a different opinion than me unless and until you're an asshole about it or treat someone poorly. Other than that, we cool. I must sound so confident to you, right? Well, it's fake. I have only one mantra in life when it comes to self-confidence: Fake it till you make it. What's that, buddy? You want me to go to a party with you? No, thank you. I am perfectly comfortable here, sitting on my bed and 'Netflix and chill-ing' allll daaayyy long. So, that's me. I hope you like me. Why? Because I am a people pleaser. Please like m- wait...where are you going!? Damn it. ***

There are songs, best friends, broken hearts, funny stories, sad endings, quite a few moments to remember and most importantly, there's love. "Because love's the best thing we do" - Ted Mosby "The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind it's a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that it involves a great deal of my life and the path I've chosen to follow" ― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook It's a typical but not so typical love story by an average teenage girl who dreams of becoming a great author someday and loves quotes. I hope you like it, I know I did when this idea came to me.
