in the chaos of life, what’s been a sweet escape for me the past 5 years is knowing i have my comfort fics here waiting for me. thank you to “boys divisional school of manners” for still giving me butterflies and reminding me of the joys of girlhood all these years later. since the first time i read this masterpiece at 15, it has ruined all other fics for me. in my five years of searching, i am confident none will ever compare. and i would have it no other way. so many stories i have read, yet this continues to be the one i go back to. i used to mourn that this book was incomplete, but in moments like this, at 2 am when i am suffocated by the coldness of reality,, stressed out of my mind cramming for my last college physics exam, now 20 years old in my own apartment that i struggle to make rent for each month, juggling lab research, a job, and school, far away from my parents, and even farther from my 15 year old self who basked in the fantastical worlds intricately crafted by the young creatives on this app, do i realize the shy beauty in its incompleteness. it gives me the opportunity to wonder. to dream. to decide for myself where the story leads. ive been running on autopilot for so long, i don’t remember the last time ive had the chance to let my mind wander. i had forgotten what it felt like to be free as i had been at 15. i had forgotten that my life was just that: my life. i am free to write it however i please. so i might just start living for myself and see where that takes me. thank you @boybands77 for your masterpiece. for reminding me how full my heart once was, and how i am free to attain it once again. how an unfinished story is only a welcoming for a new beginning.
