My foster brother chang lives in America with his newly wed husband and I am glad I moved out
because it's really embarrassing, I caught them while eating each other's faces and doing the deed and
their reactions were hilarious... I really respect brother chang. He had helped me alot in my bad times
and treated me like his sister actually more like a daughter and I am very grateful for that, he is my only
family... The little bit of faith I have in humanity is because of him he makes me believe that good
people still exists in this cruel world...
I am a total mess now. There's colours on my face, hands, hair everywhere since I am painting. I like
painting, it's my passion and I am good at it so good that I am known as a famous artist called
stoneheart... Artist who is unknown to the world as I have never disclosed my identity to the world as
stoneheart. My paintings are quite famous and I am glad people are loving them without knowing the
face of the artist... When I was going through my tough time, painting helps me alot, I poured my each
and every emotion in that paintings, it helps alot when you use your passions and hobbies to avoid the
sadness and loneliness you are feeling, you never felt alone when you engrossed yourself in things
which provides you peace. Stoneheart is one of the biggest secret of my life and no one knows it....
Only my trusted people knows who I am and I love to keep it like that, I don't like unwanted attention,
never craves for it...
After finishing my work I checked my phone. Some work related messages are there and one from my
only friend rose.... She is cousin of brother chang and we have been friends for a long time now. I like
her she has lovely personality, always excited and happy totally contrast to my personality...

star hotel... I have to look for everything and make necessary arrangements, it's a big project... I like to
