Hey, guys..

I know; I haven't updated for almost a year, if not more than that. And for all of you that have just moved on from this story; I understand. Hell, this story honestly was not even very good from what I've been seeing as I've been re-writing it! I know a few of you have asked about it, and I apologize for making you all wait so long for any sort of update, but I have a bit of a surprise for you all;

I'm working on rewriting it, and I might even have a new first chapter done here in a week or two.

Not much, I know, but it's something! I'll be posting it on Quotev, and possibly even Wattpad, I'm not entirely sure quite yet, but I'm seriously excited about being able to bring back Lumina and revive all the past ideas I've had about the plot. No, I may not be much of a writer quite yet, but I'm better than a lot of the people my age, I'm sure of that at least. I'll probably be posting mainly on either Wattpad or Quotev; quite a lot is undecided at this point in time, I just wanted to let everyone know the circumstances as of now.

Right now, I only have a few paragraphs down for the new first chapter, but I'm working on it whenever I can. My life has been pretty hectic here of late; my Mother was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer. It's treatable, and there's about a 98% chance that she will be cured, but the whole ordeal has me still fairly shaken, and this year is going to be especially difficult for me and my family, so pardon my absence if I update slowly. I'm still in middle school this year, and we're hoping that every couple weekends, my sister and I will be able to come back up North. (Our Hometown.) So, for me at least, every day will be a challenge, and possibly even Hell some weeks, but I'll get through it all. One day at a time.

And for everyone out there, reading this, who happens to struggle through every week, every month; just take everything slowly. There's no point in worrying about tomorrow, or the next day, because that's all it is; the future. You can't do anything about in by worrying about your future, or else you'll never get anywhere good in life. I'm starting to understand my purpose on this big blue planet, and I hope someday all of you do too. On another note, however, I know you all probably have a life to get back to, so if you have any questions, let me know! Thanks for reading this; it means quite a lot to me.. 3
