where ive been! (update)

hey it's been a while. never did i ever mean to go this long between updates but this year my life changed a lot so im just gonna briefly explain where ive been. ill leave a tldr at the bottom of you aren't worried about my personal life; no offense is taken!

btw these will be cross posted on all my stories so if you actively read more than one, the same message will be posted on all my works <333

in april of this year i had a lot of family drama going on which caused a lot of stress on me putting me into a depression and a writing slump. things since then have been resolved which is great, it made our family stronger, but that's where we get into summer of this year.

june-august i had gotten into the best way i could describe it is my first situationship with a co worker of mine. he reached out asking me for my phone number and we started talking from there. things were great in the beginning but what made things bad was that he wanted to remain friends with me, especially after pressuring me into doing things with him i wasn't ready to do, which left me in another depressive state. on top of him using me to get over his ex, pressuring me into talking about stuff like my trauma and my family life which isn't always the greatest and making me feel bad because i dont "talk about my feelings enough" with him, and constantly shit talking my interests and making me feel inferior to him for that (including fnaf my beloved!) but things are getting better day by day and im learning to cope with the situation a lot better. i pushed away a lot of people and things i cared about because i was blindsided by him. but unfortunately i can't go back in time but i can move forward and prioritize myself and the stuff i care about.

good news is, im slowly starting to feel better again and gaining back my motivation to do things in my life i enjoyed before all of this. obviously during this time i have worked on chapters and have tried to upload but i was so focused on other things it just didn't ever work out. but that should be changing as im gonna be focusing on working on the next chapters of broken home & haunted by the past, as well as writing some new stories! i really lost my passion for writing this year and im ready to gain it back.

and i just wanna apologize for leaving broken home on such a cliffhanger! i know y'all lovebirds wanna be fed and you will get that soon i promise!

and thank you all for being so patient during these past few months, and even to the people begging for updates thank you for caring about my silly little fanfics, it's really the motivation to keep me going. i know some people find begging for updates to be really annoying and i get that, but for me it feels really nice to know that people are actively seeking more of my writing! it's something i really love to do :)

so again thank you all for your patience, things might be a rocky start but i will hopefully get back to updating regular for you guys <333

TLDR: life got complicated for me this year, but things are slowly getting back to the way they were and updates will be coming soon!
