I Want to Help You (CrankGamePlays x OC) [COMPLETED]

Hello, Again.

Hi.

It has been... quite some time.

This is a personal update about me. I quite like screaming into the void so here I am.

I am now 21 years old. I started this story when I was 14. I cannot believe how much I have changed.

Overall, I was just reminiscing on this story when I read my last update (which i have unpublished to prevent confusion).

There will not be a sequel. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy in April of 2023 and my life has been turned upside-down. So many questions have been answered and yet so many have come up. I had a terrible first year of college (shitty roommate, failed ALL my classes) and I went from being in the best mental state of my life to the most overwhelmed I'd ever been.

Ethan has been a great help of course. Got to see him on tour when he came to my state and that was incredible. I cannot express how much he and the other YouTubers I watch have helped me throughout my life.

Mainly, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the empty promises I made. This new diagnoses has opened many doors as to why I act certain ways and why I can't seem to function normally. My first day on a stimulant showed me the world I had been missing. I hope one day that world will be my normal.

I truly love this story. I cringe reading it, because who doesn't cringe reading their writing from six years ago, but I love this story more than any I've ever written. It launched me into my love for fiction and writing and I am so glad I was able to share this love with so many people.

I'm sorry if you've been waiting for a sequel, although I bet many have forgotten about this story, let alone me. If the mood strikes me I will write more but for now I am on a hiatus from writing. From all my hobbies, actually. As it turns out, it took me dropping all my hobbies and becoming a lifeless husk for my parents to finally do something about my excessive fatigue.

If you are struggling right now, with anything, please don't give up. You are irreplaceable and the world wouldn't be the same without you. I'm never on here anymore (like i said, no hobbies) but feel free to message me and I can give you a way to contact me better. If I can make it to 20 without being diagnosed with a literal disability then you can make it too.

Anyways, that's enough void screaming for today. I am alive and that's what matters. Lots of love, I hope you are having a good day and if I ever come back to this you will be the first to know.
