Hey everyone (: I hope you are all doing well. I know I haven’t been updating and I apologize for it but I’m just checking in to make sure everyone is doing okay. 
          	
          	2020 was a rough one but I’m just glad it’s over with. 
          	
          	So what’s new? Well I’m finally in school after taking a three year hiatus from it. I can afford it again so that’s really all that I’ve been busy with. And other projects ofc but that’s a whole other thing. 
          	
          	Mental health wise... It’s been pretty steady for the past month. I can’t really complain about anything atm. Just kind of glad I set some goals for myself for a potential career in writing and in psychology. I’ve been keeping myself busy so I guess I can finally picture myself growing old. That’s something I haven’t felt excited about until now. Also the amazing, god-sent people in my life have encouraged me when no one else would. 
          	
          	Other than that, I hope 2021 treats you better! It’s going to be okay, I’ll make sure of it. Remember my DMs are always open in case you need someone to talk to. I’m here if you need to vent at any time <3

I know I haven't been the most active lately and it's probably frustrating if you are interested in the updates regarding my fics on this website. I haven't updated since June and it's already September. So here is a few terrible excuses for my reason of absence:
          
          1. I am working on a huge (and I mean HUGE) project. An original story that I've been plotting and fleshing out since before ETSCBH. It's not a prose novel, it's a graphic novel (manga) and I've been illustrating it since January of this year. So I made a choice to on this full-time instead of attending school this semester.
          
          2. Because I'm doing this project with my husband, I haven't had time to even touch Wattpad. So if it seems like I forgot about you guys, I didn't. This is a very time-consuming process.
          
          3. Working on this original story while dealing with chronic mental disorders and grief, I forget to take care of myself. I don't leave my house for a week or more and the second I find some free time, I sleep or mindlessly scroll through my socials. Mentally, I'm not okay. But if I try to better myself, it'll take up all my time. (Bad mentality. Would not recommend this at all)
          
          Overall, I do miss these fics. They mean the world to me, believe it or not. I know it seems like I lost interest in this fandom but... It's really not about ships. I wanted to tell a story while making unoriginal characters seem original. I wanted to contribute to making this fan work on here more unique and three dimensional. You don't see many character-driven stories that feature very human situations.
          
          I wanted to tell a story and I still do. 
          
          The next update of TC and EIW is actually almost done. I just need to remember to finish them off and post them. I really care about these stories and hopefully I can finish them before you guys lose interest. 
          
          It's moments like these where I wish they wrote themselves instead of waiting on me tbh.

i've been thinking...in the fictional world, we've seen so many unhealthy love triangles that characters don't seem to gain from. it doesn't add anything to the plot and most of the time, the MC ends up ditching the one that is the least problematic and it can romanticize abuse when done wrong.
          
          so instead of unhealthy love triangles, maybe add in healthy polyamorous relationships, which can be an interesting subplot. these relationships can work if all parties are in a mutual and verbal understanding. each person will gain something rather than cheating on the others.
          
          when i say healthy, i don't mean all perfect and no fighting. every relationship endures obstacles and misunderstandings. but PLEASE something less problematic for a change. cheating culture is such a turn off in fiction when it is done incorrectly.
