The Life of Riley

9/24/19

            It's Tuesday morning and I'm stuck in class, wishing that I could be anywhere else, but I know that in the end, I couldn't possibly be more grateful than I am right now. I have a good group of friends and although we've only just met a month and a half ago, I feel like we're already extremely close. I'm talking to a boy, I think he's sweet, but I'm scared of the possibility that I could screw everything up. Or that he could end up being just like everyone else I've ever tried to give my trust to.

            I'm closer with my mom than I think I have ever been in my entire life, but with that comes consistent conflict. We fight constantly, but I don't think my relationship with her has ever been better. We've finally begun to understand each other and I never thought we could get to that point. She has become the one person I can actually talk to. Her judgement is harsh, but I'm growing to get used to it.

            I've reconnected with the father figure I never really had and it turns out that he is my biological father. I've slowly learned to love him and my step-mom, and allowed them to be as involved in my life as they would like to be.

            I've started writing again, which if you're reading this then you probably know this. I'm hoping to come back to writing and to continue to make more content for you all. I know it's been years and I honestly don't expect for anyone to still even acknowledge my work, as I was extremely young when I Wrote the majority of the work still available on my page. I hope that you all know how much I appreciate your direct messages and comments. You all inspire me to continue to write and learn to love what I write.

            I hope to develop friendships with those who read my stories, as I love the ideas you all give me when it comes to my work. I can't promise that I will come back to this full time, but I definitely think I could start some sort of writing schedule to keep me on track and I would love your all's input about when you would like to get new chapters or stories. So please don't ever hesitate to contact me about anything and everything. I don't have much of a life outside of school so this helps me not go completely bonkers.

Thank you all for your time, you make my life beyond better,

Riley
