About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Because you believed

Because you believed, I'm standing here today. Shaky but still alive. Sometimes, it only takes one person to tell you that you're not rubbish and that you'll survive. I've had at least 3 such people in my life.

My grandma, despite hearing how stupid I can be can still believe I'd make it. No one would tell a kid whose been told she won't make it to PSLE to study hard. I mean, what's the point? Even if she studied her butt off, she's not gonna make it, so might as well stop now and wash plates.

Because of it, I never stopped believing in miracles. Not those like a cert dropping from the sky but how much a person can do if they put their heart and soul into it. But what I have today is not mine to boast of, not much anyway. It belongs to those who believed and gave me the confidence to chase what I thought was impossible.

When I was much older, someone encouraged me when I was down. I thought that it was all luck, perhaps now my luck is running out and now the world will know I'm rubbish for sure. He told me that I'd make it, that people can't say you're rubbish if you won't let them.

"People need your permission to make you feel that you're lousy. Give it all you've got because I believe you can make it, it's just a matter of whether you want it to happen or not."

The one I'm talking about might not see this but THANK YOU! The people who, in their own ways showed me they care, THANK YOU! I'm standing unsteadily but STILL standing.
