Been consuming a lot of content with more romance focused stories lately. I guess I’m lonely after all, or just not occupied with other hobbies (gaming, gaming, and uh gaming). A majority (if not all) are stories from Asia - Japan, China, and Korea mostly. No surprise really since it’s all comics, manga, manhua, manwha.
It’s made me think.. my childhood wasn’t stable. I left my home country when I was 8, turning 9. I didn’t speak English and had to learn it very rapidly at school. We moved around between motels and then a furnished house for a while, before moving to another city and I started school. Then I moved to another primary school before graduating. Through various conversions I ended up skipping a year so I was younger. Then started at a new intermediate school (a stage of 2 years, after primary and before highschool, idk why it exists) before moving again to another country. I skipped a year then actually I think. We moved from that tiny hellhole to a slightly smaller, tiny hellhole. Managed to complete highschool (last 2.5 years) here and graduated. Then we had to move again, and even though I tried to break free and become independent, the government assistant programs weren’t fast enough to assist before we had to flee the country basically.
