Hello everyone~ It's already past 11:30 pm, so I'll make this quick ^_^
I just finished re-reading Dear Mr. Henshaw, a book by Beverly Cleary.
Oh, the feels are like problems. They slowly pile up, and you don't notice them, but in the end... BOOM! It falls on you like an avalanche. Sort of like the anime Little Busters!. I love that anime. Sort of like a happy kind of series... then you know what happens next. I like Kyousuke. Spontaneity level = OVER 9000!
Buut... I digress.
Gosh.... That book is sad >_<
I love it.
Aaand... since I did read it, might as well tell you guys about it.
It's about Leigh Botts (he's a guy with a girly name... like the guys from Free! xD), and "Mr. Henshaw", his favourite author. Leigh wrote letters to him, and one day, his teacher required them to write a paper about their favourite authors. You know what happens next.
So, Leigh asked Mr. Henshaw some questions. And, Mr. Henshaw's reply sort of started a change in Leigh...
And that's where it begins to pile up >_>
The story's open ended.... But no problem about that, though. I think it made the story nicer, in a way.
But oh, the feels are strong. >___<
I sort of want to start writing again... I used to write a lot (short stories... and a lot of fanfics that I never finished)..
But then, things went downhill.
But seriously. It's a nice, sad book. Dear Mr. Henshaw, I mean.
... I just realized I made 2 posts in a day xD Oh well. This one's just short, so.... I guess it's ok? xD
So yeah! That's about it. Have you guys read the book before? Or do you know about other good books too? Feel free to tell me in the comments ^_^

Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌
L O V E S: Books My friends Homestuck
D I S L I K E S: Flying monstrosities (get those cockroaches away from me) Scary things The abysmal state of my internet connection

About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
The Jukebox
Current aesthetic: quiet holiday mornings, the smell of Christmas in the air
A little disclaimer: I don't own nor make money off of any of these songs, it's all just for a little good fun and mood-setting lol
These are the music playing in the blog. I hope you like listening to it as much as I do ◕ ‿ ◕ Simply click on the title of the song, and it will direct you to where I got it ❤
