I read the After series again after a few years, well maybe 2, and woah, have I been on a rollercoaster. That series is indescribable but one thing I can say is that those books taught me so much, about myself and other people, and I was able to grow as a reader, a writer, and a person, all while reading the series.
          
          Something that is true is that I’ve grown tremendously since the creation of Found. I’ve gone through some rough things and still am everyday. And one of the main things keeping my head above the water is fiction, is imagination, is romance.
          
          I don’t know what’s going on, why things are taking such a rough turn and I’m ok, I just wish there was a finer line. I’m not consistently happy or sad. So many people have so many expectations of me and I have so much weight I didn’t even ask for on my shoulders.
          
          As I cry for the second time today, I think it’s time that I acknowledge a few things. No book will be my best book because each book has taught me something new, about myself, as a writer, based on certain characters.
          
          This idea of love, one that I’m so obsessed with is tricky for me cause I don’t see it anywhere around me. It’s hard for me to convey what I can only imagine and that’s what I need to work harder on doing.
          
          I want people to walk away and feel something. To learn something. To grow. That’s what I want from my books.
          
          I’m still learning mama I’m still growing so I know it won’t be perfect but I’m proud of everything I’ve written and I hope you all will too.
