hi everyone <3
          	first of all, thank you for all the lovely messages posted to this board over the past year. i can't even begin to comprehend that some story 14-year-old me started writing at 5am on some random weekday has been able to reach so many people, let alone leave such a long-lasting impression. to be honest, those three stories are something i don't look back on fondly and i'm somewhat embarrassed by. corny dialogue, unlikeable one-note characters, SO many plot holes, and just a staggering amount of unbridled, self-indulgent angst. i understand the importance of giving yourself (especially your younger self) grace, and that's why i kept the stories up so long after i initially started debating taking them down, but i ultimately realized stories so riddled with trauma, abuse, assault, etc. are just not what i want to be primarily putting out into the world. to soothe your curiosities, the last story of the trilogy was going to end with Noah taking his abuser (I forgot his name lol) to court and losing and learning how to move on. so... there's that.
          	i might start posting stories on here again one day, im not too sure. right now, writing original characters just seems so foreign to me after spending the last two years writing fanfiction on ao3 (starblitz if you're curious), but who knows. if inspiration strikes again i'll probably come running right back. in the meantime, take care of yourselves, touch grass every now and then, and don't forget to take a long, deep breath every now and then. thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart <3

I recently found and read a book similar to the 3 you’ve published here (but way way shorter and only like the last and first half of book 2 &3 from you) and it gave me such a comforting feeling to read something like that again cause I really loved your writing and story !! I hope you didn’t gave up writing cause you seemed really talented and I just loved everything about your way of telling the story!!

Hi, messaging you really randomly! I’m rarely active on here anymore, but I just wanted to say that your characters never left me and that I’m literally lying awake right now thinking of how their story could’ve ended. I hope you haven’t given up on writing, and if you’re ever starting anything new, I’ll be your most loyal reader. So if you’re ever picking up writing again, whether on Wattpad or elsewhere, please reply or leave me a message on my message board <3 (also, I’m always open for just making conversation!)
