Foreword

Hello people!

This story is from 2016, rewritten in 2017, originally written for a contest that I can barely remember anymore, but still managed to find the details for it (Drabble Challenge by -Tigress-). The propmt is from there.

As I never managed to share this story on my profile, here it is. A few years late but I've been in a mood where I wanted to take a look at my old self and show her some love for daring to do the thing I later on decided I'm not brave enough for. And to thank her tfor once having the guts to go out of her way to follow her amibitons. I am now much older than I was, and while I had some years writing bits and bits for my notebook and my own eyes only, I am now dreaming of writing and publishing and following the steps she once tried to take, but in a different direction this time. Posting this old story is my show of thanks for my old self who liked to write and wanted to share it. It is my way of letting her know she's not forgotten, thanking her for reminding me how much I enjoyed this, and my way of letting her know - she was not wrong, she had nothing to be ashamed of for dreaming, because I am now future her, and I am still dreaming.

 

Thanks a lot for anyone stumbling here and reading lil' ol' me's old work.
