Piece concept

Guess what? The duration of one year is not the same for a teenager as somebody in their 50s. You know what? My iPhone Face ID doesn't work just after I’ve woken up. I’m always hungry like I could go on eating for the rest of my life, but I have to be on a diet for an eternity. I really want to be in love and live a heart-wrenching romance, but I’m scared ’cause all guys look so much better with a mask on. I’m totally devoted to my club activity, and that’s why I go to school, but I’m no good. I can’t do my job well. It’s too hard. Also I know I have to study for the entrance exam, but I can’t stop looking at Instagram. I bet you’re not even slightly aware that I’m made of five parts: Instagram, eating, romance, club activity, and studying for the exam. A star with these five as the points, that’s me. Just a regular, ordinary JK. But did you know that a star isn’t a star if only even one of the points is missing? So I’m desperately fighting my invisible enemies every day to defend this star. ’Cause nobody knows what tomorrow brings… even the greatest men in history couldn’t tell what would happen to them, you know… An ordinary high school girl says so in this work which is like a documentary video showing the “now” of a typical high school girl, along with her whispered message (in English) that could also be a small scream.
