My dear fellow friends and readers, I am so sorry.
I have been gone for what is about 9 months, and I apologize profusely for my absence. I owe you all an honest explanation.
This past year has been a very rough one for me. I fell into a depression I'd never experienced before and simply didn't know how to handle it. School became rough, my relationships with the people in my life became rather hard as well. I let life consume me and I stopped writing, because I simply couldn't handle so many responsibilities at once. I wanted to set aside time for myself, to learn how to cope with what became my mental and emotional state. I am still learning how, but I've become better.
You all have been so sweet, to those of you who have left messages asking if I was okay, and for continuing to leave such nice reviews on my stories. Thank you to you all. Those messages would make me smile, really. So thank you. I fell off my wagon, but I'm determined to get back on and finish what I started, which is a story I was and still am so passionate about. I will take my time, however, and go at my own pace, so all I ask is for some patience.
I know we're all going through very rough times right now, but keep pushing! To every one of you, I love you all. I hope you and your families are all doing well, and remember that we can all find some type of solace on this very site, where we all form some sort of family. You are all very dear to me, and if any of you would like to personally message me on this site, please go ahead and do so! Don't be afraid. We all just need someone to talk to at times, especially now. So please, if you need to simply rant or vent or have some sort of odd and random conversation, talk to me. I'm here for you all. Thank you for all your encouragement. I will have a new chapter up as soon as I can, hopefully sometime next week or the one after! This story- along with all the rest- are my babies. I would never abandon them.
I love you all, and stay strong.
