hey guys, it’s been way too long.
          	
          	life has been really life-ing recently. i don’t want to lose touch of my creative abilities/outlets and i don’t want to let you guys down with my story by not updating. but it’s been incredibly hard to do so. i have no motivation or desire to do anything anymore for some reason. i’ve been struggling with mental illness and using questionable habits to cope which has made things even worse. not to mention, everything i try to do to help seems to fail. it feels like life is working against me. i keep thinking ‘oh i’ll just update once things get better or i’m in a better headspace’. it does not get better. i’d love to say that it did and that i’m finally ready to finish my story and fully reintegrate myself into this world again, but i can’t. 
          	
          	thank you guys all so much for the kind words and love you’ve shown for my story, it truly makes a difference. i’m sorry once again for my absence— i’ll see if i can get some creative juices flowing. 
          	
          	in the meantime, be kind

@madladsey I’m a new reader of your book, and honestly it’s one of the best I’ve ever read on this site. Please, take your time in recovering. Although I don’t know what you’re going through, I give you my empathy! Take care, dear author! :)

Hey girlie, I know it's been a long time I just wanted to say that for the first time in a long time, I let myself relax and I watched the httyd movies again after years. It made me think of these stories and how much your story specifically helped me through a really rough part of life. I came back to reread, and I noticed immediately that your beautiful work of art is gone. But that's not what I'm worried about the most. I know you've said you struggled mentally, and I find it heavily concerning knowing you haven't been active in a while. I just hope you know that you are incredibly missed here and that we all love what your creative mind has brought to us. I also know that an incomplete story can stick with you forever, even if it's fan fiction- we all tend to hold ourselves to that high standard. If you feel ashamed for not finishing the story the way you wanted to- please don't. Sincerely, from my heart, I believe that story was a masterpiece of true life lessons and love. It doesn't matter that it was fanfiction or even that it was incomplete- it truly saved me in a time of terrible mental health myself and It has a place in my heart. So do you. I hope you are doing well and I hope you know even though you may not have had the community and friends you wished for in real life, you have that here, always. I miss you so much, we all do! A year won't pass where I won't think of this era of my life because it meant that much to me. if you read this, I can only hope it brings you the comfort and happiness you deserve. <3

Hey missy, I hope all is well on your end. 
          I was trying to find your wonderful story “My Own Hidden World” and noticed it was gone. Then saw your post about feeling down and about losing your creative juices. 
          Honestly, I’ve been there, I get what you mean. I just wanted to give you a small reminder that its ok to take your time and just do whatever you need to do. You have us fans waiting for your return when the time is right. 
          Because of your story, it helped me wanted to write again, your creativity made me want to become a better writer, even if its just fan fiction. 
          Until then, please be kind to yourself and give yourself some love. I hope what ever is going on in the real world is that it gets better and calmer. 
          Bless your soul and keep doing your best and remember that you are always enough. 
          Take care ❤️
