Wow...
4 years! That feels so weird haha. Apologies for the strange and unnecessary update! I just wanted to finish this nicely after so long.
The thing is, I wrote this 4/5 academic years ago. I'm not the proudest of it now - especially compared to how enthusiastic I was about it just a short time ago! And ok 4/5 years isn't a long time, but I'm an actual adult now and so much has happened!
Since my last update all that time ago, I forgot about this. I continued writing - I've always loved to. In fact I'm in the final sates of publishing my first book! And I remember sitting at my desk each night as a young teen planning this, then eventually having the courage to write it, then post it.
It feels incredible and almost sad, writing this and knowing I'll be hitting publish in a few minutes, then I'll likely never access this account again.
I'm... not in the position I expected. But I am where I need to be. And I'm grateful for the experience.
I get this is a weird way to end this story. I feel a bit weird knowing in a way, this is me closing a chapter of my own story.
Now that we're here, I always said when I close something with anonymity it feels strange. And here is one of the platforms I've overshared the most on, and simultaneously never shared anything.
It's taught me a lot, and shaped the way I am today. A bizarre thing to say about what's widely a fanfiction website, but it's true! This massively influenced how I write, how I pace myself and how I edit.
(fun fact, filler names in this I can't say were based on real people, but they were influenced by my friends at the time. a bit of trivia for anyone who makes it this far)
It's been amazing. Thank you for reading.
I wish you the best of luck.
See you around sometime ;)
