This is not a chapter, but more so a way for me to properly say good bye and talk through my final thoughts and all that went into writing it. You don't have to read it, but if you're seeing this at all or have clicked on any chapter of this book in any way, thank you for reading. It truly means a lot~ :,)

Wow um, I finished Stranded. To say that I never thought this day would come sounds extremely cheesy but honestly... it's true. In my year absence and even before then, Stranded had been the book I neglected the most. It saddens me now and I do hold this book very close to my heart, but it's the truth.

The motivation came when I returned, and I knew I had to finish it the moment I finished Translate. What would become of those two that were stranded on that island was the answer only I knew, and I didn't like holding it in.

So, I wrote. And people read, I was thankful, and now you know... for the most part. 

There's not much to say to be honest, because at the end of the day, Stranded tells the story in itself. Yes it's a love story, but the fact of the matter is it's also a story that allowed two people that worried for nothing except others to finally find out what THEY wanted.

So what do you want? Go after it, and don't become stranded on a deserted island to find out. 

I often overlook myself for the good of others, which is a good thing, but at times we need to have alone time and focus on the good of ourselves. I can't stress this enough. Don't be pulled down by others either. If you are, do your best to lift yourself up. I know it's hard, but getting rid of weights is the most uplifting experience, so work for yourself to get rid of them.

I was rereading stranded in order to complete it, and I thought to myself, "What the heck is this?!" It gave me hella anxiety because it was SO hectic and emotional. Also I've said it before and I'll say it again, but if I had a penny for every time I describe, write about, or simply say the word 'blush' in this book, I'd have some mad cash. I considered editing it, but at the end of the day I left it alone. I sort of like it, it's endearing and really helps sell the 'slow decent into madness' vibe. 

I like Stranded, and, I'm proud of it. It took a lot of work and research on things. Maybe now I'll be able to survive if I ever get stranded somewhere. Probably not, but it's the thought that counts. 

Honestly I was tempted to mark this book as a crackfic, but there are some good take-aways and slight angst there at the end, so this doesn't properly describe it. Stranded is just Stranded, and it's hard to describe unless you just experience it haha.

Min Yoongi is my bias, and writing about him is just so refreshing and fun. I am clearly a sucker for the trope of 'opposites attract,' and if there's something I'll truly miss from Stranded it's this (Y/N). She wild wild, but in the best way. We stan. Pairing Yoongi with such a blatantly upfront and emotional person was amazing and such a fantastic journey. You guys gave this story so much love and I had so much fun watching you guys laugh along with me. 

I really appreciate it <3

Also our boy and dinner Jeb was fun to write about two! Near the end I loved saying "the three of them" because it was like they were a cute little family. Jeb was my nickname when I worked at a restaurant because not only was I the only girl, but the only one who's name didn't start with a 'J'. I really loved it and always dreamed of using it in a book one day :3

Also praise fish Jesus hallelujah and amen thank you~

The only thing that's left to say is to give a huge thanks once more! Thank you, thank you, thank you. If  not for you guys and your support, maybe I wouldn't be able to say all this now. I love you guys so much, and because writing is what I truly love and want, I don't want to disappear anytime soon <3
