Hey everyone. I know, I know, here I am again, talking to you guys and not updating. I feel like it's fair to you guys to know where I've been and what I've been up to.

First off, in mid August I entered highschool, which took a lot of adjusting. In school I participate in the school choir and JROTC, which have both been rewarding. I've been trying to find myself, so I tried out lots of temporary activities. If I'm going to be honest, I've written lots of chapters, in fact, I rewrote 33 about 10 times, but it kept getting deleted, which frustrated me to say the least. Things have changed, but many things are still the same. For example, I still love to write, and I still love music, especially BTS. But I have experienced things that made me feel hopeless, useless, unwanted. I have been getting better, and I am currently seeing a therapist, and I'm going in for a psychiatrist evaluation in late January. It's nothing too uncommon, just depression and anxiety. It flared up really badly in November when my dear cat Oreo passed away, and I got pretty sick from taking too much pain medication. I wasn't trying to kill myself, I just wasn't thinking straight. No hospital, I just stayed home and recooperated. For a little, I forgot about this story, but I decided it was finally time to get my head in the game and actually update, since I was tired of making you all wait. I hope everyone still enjoys this story. As for the title of this chapter, I'd say this story is a little over halfway completed. There are still things I want to introduce and close up. Since I'm on winter break, I'll try to update at least 4 times, hopefully more before school starts again. I really want to make good progress without speeding the plot along too fast. Next chapter will be nice and long, so please antipate it. Have a lovely day and a happy new year!
