Guys, I feel like an awful person and author. I really do and I would like to apologize for my feelings and selfishness.

Lately, I've been feeling really under-appreciated. I work really hard on all my stories and I know that you guys enjoy reading my updates but somehow I don't feel content. You guys comment, subscribe, upvote, support and show me a lot of love and I'm a terrible person for wanting more. I know many authors here want to get their stories featured and I'm no different.

Being on the home page isn't the important part though. It's the part about getting my work recognized on a wider scale, along with the effort I put in. I know some of you are probably thinking I'm being a brat and I'm sorry. I really am. I just can't help it. But you know what?

I'm done with that.

I have amazing and wonderful readers and supporters. So what if I don't get featured? As long as I'm making someone's day out there, that's all that should matter. This is not the first time I've felt this way and every time I went through this phase, I always told myself the same thing.

That I shouldn't care about how many readers I have or how many comments I get. People who want to read my story will read them and that's that.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has gone through this, whatever it is. It's human nature. However, I will not let it affect me or my abilities. I will continue to write because I love it and I love you all. I won't give up or whine or complain about why I didn't get featured. There are incredible authors on here, much better than me as well and they probably deserve to get the spotlight more than I do.

I'm sorry if I sound confusing, bratty, annoying and selfish. I really hope none of this changes your opinion of me though because I feel like this kind of thing, the thing I'm feeling, drives people away. But I'm human and I'm not perfect. No one is.

Anyways, thank you for listening to me rant and vent. I just wanted to get this out in the open. I hope you guys will understand where I'm coming from. I will probably be bashed and shunned because of this but it's life.

Please don't leave me either after reading this. I cherish every one of you guys who took time out of your precious lives to get to know me and my stories and that's what truly counts. I'm writing not only for myself but for you all as well. I will remember that and I hope you will too.

Sincerely,

Julie
