Life Of Mimja

Literally no one:

This is hands down one of my favorite books! Although there are many reasons to why I like this book, one of them is that it is relatable cause there’s always these moments where I’m just shy, awkward and introverted. Even though I haven’t gone as far as the protagonist Steffi who became a selective mute, I do sometimes like to just have a few moments to myself where I literally just stop talking...

Before continuing, I think it’s important to say that I’m very bad at just giving short summaries and often end up spoiling the story, so I’m going to make this as short as possible. 

This story is about a girl (Steffi) who’s a selective mute and a deaf boy (Rhys)- as the story goes on, we can see their relationship growing and the author makes it clear that sometimes connecting with someone and getting closer to them is not always about words and that there are many forms of communication.

Even the people who aren’t deaf or selective mutes can relate to Steffi and Rhys and understand their problems.-This is one of the many good aspects of this story.

6:00 am: biiiip biiiiip biiiiip biiiiip

———Sitting in my bed... should I stand up and get ready for school or should I just cover my face with stuffed animal called “stuffed animal” and wonder “why does life have to be this way”———

6:10 am: still sitting (well laying) in bed, I should probably stand up now!

6:15 am: okay, I realllyyy have to wake up now and search up motivational songs on YouTube

6:19 am: dance partayyyy

Okayyy, let’s just skip all of this (I ended up getting ready and made it into the bus safely without tripping over my own feet more than once- new record!!!)

7:12 am: I arrived at school! Me and my friends are just standing at the lockers Bebelinda, cafard, grosse mouche verte and Aissatou. The lockers are painted in bright colors to hide the ugly color that they used to be just like the smile I put up every day to hide the pain I’m actually in 😂

7:30 am- 14:40 pm: we played some music and I wrote this blog (I promise that’s not what we usually do but this week is deep dive week)... it’s only 13:43 pm which means I’m still at school which means that I have no idea what I’ll do for the rest of the day. But here’s what I think I’ll do: go home, eat some food, fall asleep (#mood), and talk to “someone” on Snapchat...
