So this isn't a new chapter and I'm sorry about that, but I wanted to express my gratitude towards everyone who has been following and/ or reviewing this story.

I want to be the first to say that I'm not going to abandon it- I've always felt as though when I choose to write and share a story, it invokes a certain duty to fulfil. I've never been very good with responsibility so I have to admit I'm struggling with this, but at least in my mind, I'm meaning to finish this at some point.

I do, however, feel like I need to rewrite a lot of what I've written. I started this very young, I think around age fourteen and even the chapters I've revised from that period I believe can be improved. I've also got another story (read: commitment) right now that I've been meaning to update, so I suppose this message is just to apologise for the further inconsistency to my updating schedule (which really can't be called a schedule at this point.)

Regardless of whether I talk about duties and such, I want to reassure everyone that writing is actually something I really enjoy, but oftentimes life gets in the way and I forget about my stories, or when I do remember them I have a ton of coursework I needed to do yesterday (which is now, I am so screwed, if anyone happens to know anything about law... just kidding...)

I hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe. I'm so grateful for all the support I received from you guys when I was having a difficult time, and if anyone needs someone to talk to or is struggling you can always pm me xx

So yeah, thank you and stay safe, and I hope to give you some actual content some point soon.
