Writer Girl

You know what I hate the most?

When people assume that just because I listen to K-Pop, that’s suddenly all I’m aware of, as if I’m from another planet. I hate it when they jump to the conclusion that just because I like K-Pop, I’m stupid, that no intellect goes in to what I like.

When people belittle me for my personal preferences.

Have I ever called anyone stupid for liking something I don’t? Have I ever called OPM fans inferior? Of course not, because I have respect for people.

I have spent years trying to gain just the permission to be able to write, and now that I finally get to a place where I thought would allow me to write, now I have to go through that all over again and try to make my field legitimate. Can the world please just give me a break for once?

I have spent years trying to build a name for myself and I have failed so many times, but I have also succeeded. As arrogant as it may sound, I’ve actually won recognition for my work. In K-Pop. So don’t you dare belittle me until you win something for your work.

I hate it. I hate the fact that while I have to go through hoops and fire to be accepted as a writer, and as a K-Pop writer, while the people around me continue to belittle and demean me for doing what I love, other people just have to go to school, uni or college, and when they finish it’s smooth sailing.
