"the world looks
better through
your eyes"
- (firefly by ed sheeran)
A couple of years ago, I wrote my first official draft for a story that carried very little substance, but presented a start for my fiction writing career. I was fourteen then and struggling as a freshman in high school. I forced my friends to read what I had written (sorry, Meg!) and I honestly believed I was doing an ace job.
I wasn't.
Now the years have flown by and thankfully, despite my lack of talent then, I have continued to write. The sentences flow out of me some days like water rushing down the Niagara Falls and other days, I forget the spelling of begin.
That's all this is, then, really - a beginning.
I am now eighteen years old, studying communications and social psychology at a university in Canada. I have a fondness for the acoustic guitar, historical fiction, meaningful song lyrics, maps, mix tapes, fashion, photography, ink paintings, hash-browns, denim, travelling, and a certain boy who is the inspiration behind everything I write, and he is worth every period, every comma, and every word I have ever written.
My name is Rida and it would be an honour to get to know you.
