Author's Note: Where I've been

Hi, it's been a while. If you want to skip all this I've posted the next chapter along with this note. To anyone that stays, I'll be explaining where I've been these last few months.

I'm just going to get right into and not dance around the topic, I've been gone for some months now and you all deserve an explanation. Recently I've been pre-occupied with college and recently have been looking for a job. My final class just came to an end recently and unfortunately my job search hasn't been turning up any sort of results. So, since nothing is coming my way I'm going to try and get back into writing until I hopefully get emailed back by somebody.

Now, I know what some might say, "there is no way that college and job hunting has taken up so many months of my time" and they'd be right. I'll be 100% transparent with you all, I have not been doing good mentally these last few months and that has severely affected my drive to write. There have been multiple personal things going on that have been going on that have hurt me deeply and I'm still recovering from. I won't go into specifics since they're personal, but all you need to know is that it affected me on a deep level.

I've been keeping quiet about it until now because I personally do like using mental health as an excuse for my unproductivity. I don't like not being in control of my emotions, because then I say or do things I know I'll regret later on. So, I wanted to step away from writing because I didn't want to jeopardize my works just because I couldn't keep myself in check. I know this is getting a bit more personal than some would like but I thought it's the least that I could do in order to explain my absence.

I think with everything settled for now, I'm going to try to get a few more chapter out before I begin a certification I've been looking into. I'm not going to promise anything or say how many, all I'm going to say is that I'll try and do my best to make up for all the time I've wasted. If you have any questions leave them on the story or reach out to me over discord. I can't say I'll answer them fully, but I'll at the very least try to give some kind of answer.

Before I end this little note, I just want to say thank you to all those who have stuck around. I know it's probably something a lot of authors say but I truly mean it when I say I appreciate all the support for my works. Doing fanfiction was such a giant leap for me since I've been reading it for a long time but never having the courage to actually write something. So, to see my ideas and stories get this much positivity despite my inconsident schedule and (I think) mid writing skills, it really does make me happy.

So thank you, there is nothing I could ever do to repay back to happiness you guys have given me.

Note over, see ya guys in the next chapter :)
