Love's crime

Introduction

Hello and welcome!
A lot of you haven't heard from me in a very long time and I think I owe you an explanation and for those of you who are new here I will give you brand new introduction on who I am.

I first joined Wattpad when I was thirteen, I had another account before this which I deleted. But around the time when I created this one, I was really invested in fan fiction, especially writing about the characters from IT and Stranger things.

I went by the alias of "J 🎈" and only close wattpad friends knew of my actual name and today I'm gonna reveal it.
I am now seventeen and if I lived in the United States I think I would be going into my senior year of high school in September. (I live in Ireland)

My mental health was the cause of this entire break and abrupt ending to my work.
Things were actually ok for a little while and just when I though there was light at the end of the tunnel I fell right back into a bottomless pit. Since I was nine, I secretly struggled with my mental and was only diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety when I reached my breaking point when I was fourteen.

For ten months now I've been battling something completely different which came from stress, anxiety and depression. It has tried to take my life multiple times and I have been institutionalised several times now because of it. Maybe one day I will open up about it but for now this is gonna be my way of coping and I hope some beautiful work comes out of it.

I did write other stories but I drafted them for now as I want to start fresh.
A little about this book; This is my first proper book I've ever written. I wrote this for a short story project in English when I was fifteen.

It surprisingly did very well and moved a lot of people in my class including my teacher who is stone cold most of the time lmao. Like literally all of my work, this book had a very dark and ghastly ending but this is why I want to start fresh. I went through a very rough time with my mental health and still am and this is how I expressed my feelings, by writing dark stories with sad endings.

This story will mostly be sad because I don't want to change its whole point but it will have a happier ending. Originally, one of the characters wasn't Jewish either and it only revolved around the difficulties that lgbtq+ people face everyday. This book will include how Jewish and lgbt people went through hardship and prejudice in the 1940's. It will also included parts about the concentration camps.

The reason why I made these changes was because while I was in inpatient care I got really invested in Anne Frank's diary and it inspired me to learn about the holocaust and what the poor Jewish community went through. Since I was basically left alone in inpatient and didn't receive any proper support I felt like Anne helped me cope and most importantly her words gave me a bit of hope, she was truly such an inspiring girl and deserved the world.

Thank you for reading this boring intro you honestly have no idea how much it means to me. I've worked so hard so renovate this story to make it a little more interesting and I hope you enjoy it ;)

Lots of love, Jenny🎈
