For those of you still around, I'm still here.
2016 has been, by far, the shittiest year so far.
When I started writing When Love Takes Over, I was bored. I was lonely, and, being unemployed for seven weeks, I was desperate for a distraction.
Work, depression, and, sadly, a breast cancer diagnosis got the best of me.
Thankfully, my cancer was caught about the earliest it could have been caught, and I am healthy and strong. Despite being 27 years old and having no family history of breast cancer, my gut told me something still wasnt right, and I acted on that feeling. I mean, I'm the only one in my entire family to have high blood pressure, and that started at 25. Because of my experiences, I encourage everyone, both young and old, to always listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right, get it checked. If you feel you aren't being listened to, or taken seriously, find another doctor. Keep going until you find someone you trust. My life was saved because of my quest to never give up.
As for my story, I still want to keep going. I want to completely start over and fix everything. I still have so much in my head about where I want to take this story. Brielle has only just been adopted, her story is just beginning.
Currently, I am working through another depressive episode. But, I've been through this before, and will get through it again.
To all my readers, thank you for sticking with this story, my weird little gem. It may be small, but its all I've got.
