Today is the first day I’ve even been able to look at my story, let alone work on it.
In my story, Liam was meant to have a happily ever after, despite being a “bad guy” in it. *sort of spoiler if you’re reading Tendencies* he was meant to run off into the sunset happily.
I opened my story today with the intention of getting rid of it. How could I possibly continue a story about drugs and rehab and with Liam as a fukcing drug lord with all that’s happened?
I found a quote in the latest chapter, the draft of the chapter titled Always You. The one I was so excited about weeks ago.
It says something along the lines of, addiction isn’t a death sentence. It’s more like a chronic illness that one will go through for the rest of their life.
I’m not ending this story. I’m not giving up on it. Tendencies was made for a reason almost ten years ago. It was made with hope for everyone struggling with addiction, and in memory of those who have fallen victim to it.
Not saying Liam was a victim of addiction, but I’m not saying he wasn’t a user. I need this story as my way to grieve, I suppose. I can’t wait to send him off on his happily ever after so that at least in my story, he lives a long full happy life.
