Hello everyone... Sorry for the lack of updates to all my stories, life has been hell to put it mildly. I won't go super in depth regarding it but I owe you guys a explanation.

2020 has just been awful obviously with how the world is upside down but its just been one thing after another and it shattered me... The last update I released was on 3/15 and I have written out a few more chapters since but then Covid struck... I lost pretty much all my motivation to do anything, barely going out and it really took its toll.

Fast forward to May 26 *My 20th birthday* and it sucked, I grew up in a household where you were basically royalty for the day which might come off as being spoiled but it gave the day its own charm. Only getting phone calls wishing me a happy birthday and offering promises they can't keep instead of being around a family table celebrating and catching up. I know a lot of people either don't have that chance or don't want that but that day always mean't a lot to me.

Then to make a terribly long story shorter, I had to move out of the house I was in during a pandemic, so here I am rushing around trying to get everything packed up and I get Covid... Lucky for me it was only a "mild case" but even that was something I would never wish upon anyone, unable to smell or taste and a constant migraine that came in random waves was awful. I had to rest for 2 weeks inside a almost empty house alone, I had a few family members drop off food at the porch but all I could do was wave which was heart wrenching.

I finally managed to get a good amount of energy back to finish moving the rest into the new place and its been a adjustment to say the least. Finished it all near the start of July but then a close relative passed away (one that always pushed me to try writing) because of Covid and I completely shutdown, having swarms of bad thoughts raining over my head... But one day I check my emails (as a family member said they sent me something) and I see tons and tons of new followers/favorites and reviews wanting more, it gave me this spark of hope and desire to write to help others through these hard times and let you guys know your not alone... I owe that to you and someone that was a sister to me...

Apologies if you thought this was a new chapter but I needed to get this out for myself and needed to spread it all over my current stories. Like I said before I have a few chapters almost done but I might go back and rework some, I expect to at least release 2 or 3 new chapters before the end of August so look forward to those. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart, your support has gotten me through one of the darkest times in my life and I cannot stress that enough. I hope you all are doing the best you can in the current circumstances and please stay safe!
