It's been about five years since I wrote these fan fictions. I came across them this morning and spent the day laughing and crying, reading the stories that came from my young teenage mind. I'm nineteen now and in college. I was reminded of my love for "Scandal" and the support that all of you readers gave to me at that time. It did, and still does, mean the world. /span/p

I know I left many people hanging and I'm not proud of that. But when you're fifteen, life just happens. It can be the craziest time in a person's life. But I never forgot the outpouring of love and kindness I got from you guys. It felt amazing to have a community to share my stories with. I remember lighting up every time I got a new review. /span/p

But if I get even just one, it will have been worth it. I look back on this time of my life with such pride and gratitude, all because of you guys. So all this is to say thank you. I hope you and your families are safe during these times. /span/p

It's Sahar. :) and you guys can add me on Twitter at saharxxi or on Instagram at . I want to be able to connect and talk with you guys in a way that I was too afraid to back then. So much has changed. But my love for writing and Scandal has not. /span/p
