I feel like I owe some of you an explanation. I did something very stupid that I can't take back now. As you have probably figured out, I deleted Ride or Die. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but now I really regret it.
          	
          	I don't really talk about it a lot because it's my own thing to deal with, but I go through random periods of sadness and self doubt. I don't really want to call it depression because depression is a real thing. Not to say that what I feel isn't real, but it's not the same thing. I think true depression is a lot more deep and crushing than what I experience, so I won't call it that.
          	
          	Anyway, I'm kind of sensitive about my writing. I want to make a career out of it someday, but I often find myself questioning if I have what it takes, if I have enough skill and experience to make it happen for myself, or if I will ever be able to reach my goals as a writer. I get all of these great ideas, and then I start a story, but eventually I end up hitting a wall because I didn't plan things out well enough. That's exactly what happened with Ride or Die. I just felt like it was going to be really hard to continue, even though I really wanted to, because I didn't know where I wanted it to go. I get really bad writers block, so that's why it takes me so long to update sometimes. 
          	
          	I'm probably rambling, so I'll just kind of sum everything up. I was going through one of my weird little funks, and I couldn't for the life of me write anything. I kept seeing comments asking when I was updating and why it was taking so long, which is fine. I'm not putting he blame on anyone or saying I deleted it because I was tired of the pressure.

I was just like fuck this. It's going in a direction I don't like. It's too far into the book for me to change a lot about it. I don't know how it's going to end. So I just deleted it. If I'm being real, I was also really stoned when I made the decision. I woke up the next morning like noooooo! Wtf did I do. It made me even more sad. All that work gone for such a rash, stupid decision. I was just feeling so down on myself and I gave up. 
          	  
          	  It really sucks because when it started, I enjoyed writing it, and it made me really happy getting comments from you guys saying you liked it, and that you were waiting for new chapters. It was a huge confidence boost for me. I let sadness get the best of me, and I'm sorry. 
          	  
          	  I do plan to continue writing. I'm working on starting a new book now, based on one of my favorite movies. I know some of you will probably be hesitant to start anything of mine because you think I might delete it, but I promise that I will try to never do snuffing like that again. I'm taking on a new general rule for my life where I take more time on things, and expect more of myself. I hope you guys are still down to read my shit, and I'm sorry again. I.

I do apologize. I wrote that years ago and I deleted it because it kind of makes me cringe a bit now. I feel bad cause I know a lot of people enjoyed it, but I just feel I’ve grown a lot as a writer and the plot was all over the place and messy. I really do appreciate the support, and I hope you’ll read my future projects. Im working on something new atm

So it’s been a minute since I’ve been on Wattpad and I had the OG ROD in my library not knowing that you changed your name and rewrote the story with a sequel!! Just here to say I appreciate you as a writer and hope you return here when it feels right. Hope you’re doing okay sis!
