23km Down The Rabbit Hole: {009}; Welcome to Young Adult-hood.

Welcome to (Young) Adult-hood, my friend.
Since around the year of 2010,
I got bored and decided I should do something for the people of the K-pop fandom.
I've decided to join the 'Code:M1' team in moderating the forum.
Code:M1 was a community forum dedicated to SM Entertainment's new boyband, who was still preparing for their debut back in 2010 under the codename M1 and M2.
I thought my favourite SMent trainee was debuting with this group, so I joined the team.
I was welcomed warmly by most of the members, even though I couldn't remember all of them since it was four years ago. I've made new friends, and met some very famous people whom I used to admire, and stalk, from my little corner in the big twitter world.

One of them is the girl who's turning 20 today.
Her name is Shi-yi, and she is from the cave.

Since 2010, we've become friends, and then best friends, but lets not be more than best friends. Shi-yi, with her 16k followers in twitter, turns out to be this communication arts student in ABAC.
We became close, and then she moved back to her cave in an isolated island.

Let me tell you something about Shi-yi.
She's turning 20 years old today, but she was more mature than myself, who is 21 years old.
She used to live in Thailand, but Bangkok couldn't handle her, so she moved back to her cave where she spent the whole day starring at her iStone. After her mother (Nin-Hao, mama *^*/) realised that her cave is getting too small for her, she moved Shi-yi to Singapore in which Shi-yi decided to pursue her dream is an Art student.
After a year in Singapore, (which is ONLY 2 hours from Bangkok, but she'd never visited me, not even once. So much for the friendship, bitch) Shi-yi became a fashion photographer working for her friends and their #ootd on Instagram. She was also a filmmaker, but most of her films were experimental, and are locked away in her computer.
I visited her once in Singapore when I got so bored of Bangkok and its situation. (much fucked up, very traffic, so freedom. WOW) I was in Singapore for the weekend, and I told her I was going there a month prior my arrival. She picked me and my family up at the airport and persuaded us to take the train to the hotel instead of the cab. We walked. We took the airport railway. We walked some more. We took the subway/Metro/Underground train or whatever. We walked a lot more. We reached the hotel with two large suitcases. Right after we settled in our hotel in the middle of Orchard shopping area, Shi-yi disappeared.
I was in Singapore for three days and I got to see Shi-yi for like 5 hours. Much friendship, dude.
Not to mention the fact that when I was in Korea, You told me Howie was in Thailand. You've ruined my chance of meeting Howie. When I got my place in a UK university for masters, I'm getting a tattoo of his artwork, and NOT YOURS. Howie's number 23 fan.

Anyway,
Shi-yi is now in Taiwan, working for a Korean tourism thingy.
And she is turning 20 in two hours (ICT/GMT+7) so I think it's time for her to say good bye to teenage life, although nothing's gonna change, really.
Everything will be exactly the same.
It's not your age that changes you, it's what you do each day that makes your experience grow.

As a friend, I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday.
I might now be able to Skype with you tonight, or even tomorrow night, due to amount of work I've been procrastinating for so long, and the places I have to go tomorrow. I would also like to thank you on your advise about my future goals, and how you ditched me so many times. I would also love to point out the fact that I am used to you ditching me, and it's ok because fuck you.
I love you.
And I hope everything in your life is OKAY.

I love the fact that our demons play well with each other.
