Hello everyone, it's 'Open l l Door'. I am sorry to say that THIS IS NOT A STORY UPDATE, BUT AN AUTHOR'S NOTE. I know, it's been about a YEAR since I updated, but a lot has happened since then. My friend who moved across the country visited, and we had a bit of a spat, but it was nothing like before. I actually thought I was losing a friend of 8 years. I was wrong, but the thought of not being friends with her any more didn't really bother be as much as I thought it would, so that got me thinking. Not only that, but school was getting difficult as the months went by… As I had stated in the end of the last chapter, I was starting my freshman year of college. THAT SH*T IS NO JOKE. I struggled, but conquered! I have also been getting more involved with my church. Since I am no longer a youth student, I decided to become kind of like a leader? I basically help out with planning retreats and scheduling all sorts of different things for the youth kids. It's a little difficult, but I really liked it.
ANYWAY, before I realized it, the spring semester of school was starting, and my free time of writing my story was gone. *insert face-palm* This is also where it gets a bit depressing. Throughout my high school life, my mom was always comparing me to my older sister. My mom never knew how much it bugged me because I never told her, so I don't blame her. But because of that, I have developed a fear of not being good enough. If I make a mistake, I tend to freak out to extreme levels. I want to say I am a bit emotionally unstable, for lack of a better term? But that's not right either (Sorry if I insulted anyone, it was NOT my intention). I'm relatively a happy-go-lucky person, but if I ever get angry of sad, it's to an extreme, as in I get a bit hysterical and it makes me do things to myself. I'm not gonna beat around to bush, but I had cut myself a lot. The reason why I'm mentioning this is because it happened again during my spring semester of college. I was failing a class and I was freaking out the fact that I was failing and was messing up. I got depressed again, so those couple of months was just a big 'ol NO. But I talked to my older brother and sister and they really helped me. I dropped the class in time and I did really well in my other classes. I was really happy.
After that semester ended, I was busy with a church summer retreat. Then after that, was taking a summer class and a lab. THOSE required a lot of attention, especially since they were trying to put in 5 months of lessons within a couple of weeks. On another note, I passed those classes as well (whoop).
And now to present day, I start school again on the 15th, so I'm trying to make sure I'm ready and have everything I need and I probably won't be able to update because I really need to focus this time around.
I'm sorry I never really got around to updating my story, but I want you guys to know, I AM NOT GIVING UP ON THIS STORY. I will be continuing it and I WILL be finishing it no matter what. So please, don't give up on this story. Getting notified of the favorites, follows, and reviews really made me happy. I will try to make time to write. I want to thank everyone who has read this. If you have any questions, please PM me and I will answer all and any. Thank you again.
(Also, not gonna lie, but I was also getting distracted with Undertale since it had just been released around that time... No shame. ;P )
*Edit: 8/8/16, 11:53pm- Sorry Since I didn't really take the time to check and edit this author's note, I didn't realize that I forgot to mention more about updating. Since I was working a little bit on the story before, there is about 2 pages of it done. It's not much, but I at least know what the chapter will be about. I'm hoping to get it done in October since that will give me some time to get situated in school and to finish and revise the next chapter.
Thank You all again for the patience and kindness you all have given me! 3
