hello everyone! rest assured chapters are being written despite my hiatus
it's been bothering me more and more recently that a number of new (and old) readers of 'just for you' take the darker themes of the story personally. i felt that this PSA is important as an author who engages in sensitive topics, especially after reading many of your comments
PLEASE do seek professional help, or if you're in a situation where doing so is impossible, then contact someone you can trust, no matter how small or insignificant you may think your feelings are. your emotions are what bring life to stories, every fiction you've loved, every moment you've lived, and avoidance is the biggest and easily the most damaging coping mechanism globally. to feel is to hurt and to hurt is to feel-- no feeling of your precious hearts deserve to be disregarded. please use my stories to find hope and comfort, not to wound yourselves further
please know that no matter how bad or even how good life is, there will ALWAYS be better times! just like how this fic may have brought you joy, but you may eventually love another one even more; like how much better my mental health and wellbeing is now, just a mere few years later. time may not heal physical scars, your past actions nor the hurt from the times you've been wronged, but it can make you stronger just like it has made me!
❣️ all of you are beautiful, i know from the way you can express your opinions strongly, decisively; i know from the way you can give praise, give love easily when it used to be the hardest part of my heart to give away; i know because i may not be physically pretty or perfect but i can now see things i love about myself first when previously i did not.
regardless of where you are in life right now! thank you all so much for supporting me as an author and i can only hope this is the spark my writing can inspire in the future :))
have a good one!
