So I've been gone a while...

I haven't posted or updated any stories in almost 4 years. I started posting on this account when I was around 11 years old and have grown out of many of the things I used to love (and not gonna lie, obsess over). I'm not saying that you have to be a certain age to enjoy things, but I just grew out of it. I don't know if you can tell by my awful punctuation and grammar, but I also have lost my passion for writing. Don't get me wrong I love to make up characters and story build, but I just don't feel like I have the energy to consistently write anymore. There's also been a lot going on in my personal life. I lost my dad in a car accident about a year and a half ago and that's really been weighing down on my mental health.

I don't know what exactly made me think of this website for the first time in about 3 years, but after seeing all the reviews on my story "Ninjago High" I feel horrible. I'm sorry I abandoned so many people who liked this story. I just grew out of Ninjago. Trust me I love rewatching old episodes with my brothers and getting that nostalgic feeling, but I don't obsess over it anymore like I used to (not saying everyone who reads and writes fanfiction is obsessed). Sometimes I look back at what I wrote as a 5th grader and cringe uncontrollably and have even thought about deleting it, but I never will because I feel like that is just a part of growing up. These stories are almost like a time capsule to me and I wouldn't change that for anything.

Not that anybody asked, but...

I am now going into my sophomore year of high school and will be 16 in a few months. I started dating my kindergarten best friend 7 months ago and am the happiest I've been in a long time. Though I no longer have a passion for writing, I've fallen in love with science and mental health studies and hope to be a psychiatrist one day.

To everyone that has supported me...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I really don't feel like I can tell y'all how much I appreciate all the love and support I have received from everyone on this platform. I am genuinely sorry for leaving this series on such an awkward and sudden note for so long. Reading your kind words all those years ago really helped build my confidence and made me the person I am today. It was truly selfish of me to not even give closure to you all until now. Don't think for even a second that I have forgotten anyone who has supported me from the beginning. I still remember all your usernames. If you are newer to me as an "author" and my stories, thank you for reading despite me not updating anything since 2016. I am extremely sorry to anyone who read through all of these chapters just to get an unsatisfying ending. I will not be continuing this series, but wholeheartedly encourage anyone who would like to continue off of this to do so. I'm sure someone will give you all the ending you deserve, but that someone will not be me. I've thought about continuing it myself, but just felt fake and forced. If you do make a continuation of this series let me know and I will be sure to read it.

I hope you all can understand where I'm coming from.

I love and miss you guys.

My PM's are open if you would like to shoot me a message, I'll be checking (I promise).

And finally... as my 5th-grade self used to say... Peace Out Girl Scout!
