Why best friends matter

P.S. The site is going through a move! My new domain is amytrieslife.com , everything is still being shifted but check it out and leave a heart :)) ------ Honestly, I truly thought crazy exes only existed in Hollywood and sad breakup songs, well, as a part of amy tries life, Amy Tries Exes! I like peace a lot. Really, I try and hang out with peace as much as I can. But no matter how much I stay to…

Life is too precious

Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the feeling of achievement after a good day of work, or the feeling of freedom after a messy breakup. Regardless, somehow for the first time in forever, I suddenly feel an inexplicable resurgence of hope for life. There's so much out there, and life is far too precious to complain about living it all the time. I hope you carry that with you throughout this normal…

June anyone?

Today I opened up my week planner as usual, put in my schedule, but paused as I went to close the tab. It read "2026-06-08". Yes, that is the date, but also, that's the date already?? Cue sudden self panic as I realize that half of this year is gone, and I only have half a year left to answer with "16" when people ask for my age. HALF A YEAR Y'ALL. I conceptualize my years differently to most…

Apparently I'm bad at writing love letters

I've got the paper, I've got the pen. I say to myself, you love him right? Well off course, and there's many things I love about my boyfriend, but I just stare at the stupid blank piece of paper. How do you even start a love letter? Like hey, I've been your girlfriend for a month and btw your a great kisser and I love you. I seriously cannot write anything romantic. Lately I've been thinking what…

my relationship with red flags lately

You'd think that having a brain would be enough to alert oneself to a red flag. What should we do when we see red flags? Ruuuun. What do I do? I ruuuun.... towards it. stupid heart gets in the way. Really, it should pretty straightforward. Guy makes promise, guy breaks promise, multiple times. Not a good sign. I say nothing, and I start thinking that it doesn't matter and it's fine, I drop it even…

the ghosts of past present future - guy edition

I talk about guys waayyy too much lately. So much for being a strong independent woman, right? Well, I'm weighing up 3 different thoughts. Past, present, and future - guy edition lmao. Entailing the guy in my past, the guy in my present, and me in my future. Being single is underrated, or I should say instead, being productively single is underrated. I think back to 3 months ago, at that point I…

dear viewer, life is yours for the taking

you could waste it, you could spend it, you could simple live in it ..... or you can take it and make it your own :)) (Note that this is not an April Fools joke lmao)

cough cough, I'm sick + thoughts on being a young mormon

Either I have a terrible immune system, or the flu loves me, but I get sick every 3 months. I always forget about sickness, because it comes, and then it goes, and you forget again how absolutely wonderful it is to breathe normally. Heads up. This is a less interesting post due to my lack of functioning brain cells, so feel free to scroll past :) So I have a dilemma on how to spend my day, I could…

why i don't read old text convos :)

I actually just can't bring myself reread old text conversations. It's funny enough how half of your relationship with someone is all written down, recorded, right there for anyone to see. I think that's why I don't find texting special, because I enjoy the feeling of having the memory stored in only our heads, and no one else can see it. Knowing only you and this person will remember the times…

getting over him is like butter

Back in my home, New Zealand, they have the best butter I've ever tasted. I'm not talking about the fake plastic stuff, I mean the solid 500g butter block. I'll actually eat butter straight as if it were cheese, it's that good. Anyway, my real point stems from me lying in bed 2 nights ago, reflecting how far I've come in the past 2 months. I mean, it's not like I've done a huge amount of…

let me just get this random embarrassment off my chest

Hardly ever do I get truly embarrassed to the point that thinking about it makes me want to die. I put myself out there a lot, so I'm confident in my social ability, and I'm a thinker so I don't generally say the wrong thing or mess up in my words. Well. I just had a memory of something embarrassing and it made me laugh-die, it's so trivial, and isn't even that bad, but here it is. For 3 months…

guys guess what! I'm not broken lmao

I realized this morning, I'm 16, and I've never truly had my heart broken. I've felt heartbroken before, but not actual heartbroken. I've never been broken in pieces, much less because of a guy. Yesterday, my friend texted me, her guy said he wanted to stop their relationship, so he broke up with her. Once I found out, I immediately invited her over, told her I'd be home in an hour, and said we'll…

The sun set over the horizon

You watch the sun, a glorious bright orange ball low in the horizon. It casts it's orange/pink streaks all over the sky, making the buildings glow with warmth. Any person would look at this and say it's beautiful. It's empowering. However, as fast as a few minutes, the sun has sunk below the horizon, leaving you in awe of first it's beauty, but one moment after, the stark difference of how it…

moving on + getting asked out by my gym crush

Sooooooo. It's the 1st of March, you know what that means. It means absolutely nothing to any normal person, but every 1st of each month sends me into a semi panic of realizing the year is passing before I even let it. It's 8pm in a Starbucks, this is the second time in my life I've even been to a Starbucks but I really just needed a space to be away from home so I can write till my hearts…

I choose life lmaooo

ok my take is I choose to be sheltered, there's always that curious part that sneaks out and wants to see parts of the real world BUT OH MY GOODNESS WAHAT IN THE WORLD. I'm 16, and now I realise that age is not a limitation for so many things. at this age, you can be exposed and full immersed in everything you like. This realisation comes from learning that Adrianna Lima was 17 when she first…

The future is alooottt closer than you'd think

So 6 months ago, I agreed to work for my dad's company again after a 3 month hiatus of physics studies. At this point I was adamant I wanted to start my own business and move out. That was my dream. My favourite movie was The Social Network. I figured that being proficient in AI would help me in that, and while I was working I could carry on keeping my eyes open on business ideas or opportunities.…

The world's greatest tragedy ... love

The track "Love the way you lie" is a duet between rapper Eminem and rnb artist Rihanna. Both are well accomplished people, both have money to live any dream they wished, yet both have such anguish being their words. they both don't need love in their lives, yet somehow it finds them, and they recount these painful separate experiences in one song. The pain of love finds all of us, even without…

Goals for this blog

I'm gonna: - Write about the effect of Malaysia - Get a better theme and layout for this blog

Draft of my church talk

Good morning brothers and sisters, My name is amy redmond, I'm 16, and I've recently moved into this ward a month ago from New Zealand, and i used to attend as a kid back in 2018 for those who may recognize the shorter version of me. Being in the philippines is still new to me, but I really love being here. And lately, there's been lots of new introductions. Meeting new people, new friends, and I…

Y'all shall we just go ahead and rename this blog the dumps

My bad guys, 2026 is great, but I can tell that to my friends. Y'know what I can't tell my friends? That my close friend here is a 20 year old guy BWHAHAHA 🤣 I wonder if from his perspective he says "Y'know what I can't tell my guys? That my close friend is a 15 year old girl. Kill me now" Yo count your blessings, at least I'm 16 now. So yes we stopped being friends for all of 2 days, and then…

Friend? Nah Lover? Nah Rebound? Oh hell nah

Note from future amy: I wrote this through a lot of feelings, so cut me a little slack for all the hard feelings pls!! Note that this is very personal and was hard for me to write about. Past amy: writing is nice. i like writing. i would describe this feeling as dissapointment with a twang of embarresment. so overall not a fun feeling. So gang, what do we think happened? Nah don't guess because…

New years eve

Last time I'm gonna say I'm 15. Not to a boy, not to anyone, but to you. I'M FIFTEEN

wtf bro

When interesting things happen, somehow that's the time I don't write. Hello fam, it's been a minute. I love how I say fam as if you as the viewer know me, or that there is a viewer at all. In full honestly, it's only me who mans this page. So me? I'm on a plane to Kuala Lumper Malaysia right now. Crazy times. It's Boxing Day, and yesterday was Christmas. Somehow, I don't feel like writing about…

Pick your battles (also pick your kuyas better for goodness sake)

So, a normal person in my situation at this very moment may express their annoyance even when it's uncalled for and doesn't make sense. It's my last night here in KL, I knew the store would be closed by the time I got there but oh well. Honest, can we just sit in this weird space. And next time pick a kuya your not attracted to

bruv, I'm going to Kuala Lumpur

Before you get too giddy, it's a work trip. But yes, I'm excited.
