Dead Flowers | H.S.

author's note

hello, friends!

I apologize that this is not an update but the next chapter should be uploaded within the week and it is a pivotal one.

I thought that I would give y'all an update on my life since I've been so open with y'all through the journey.

after my relationship ended, I suddenly felt liberated. 205 pounds fell off my shoulders-literally. my life became more about what made me happy and I stopped working around someone else's schedule to crunch in time with somebody who couldn't have cared less to see me. though I sound salty, I am not. I am simply being truthful and painting the clearest picture that I can. I was in a relationship with somebody that I did not love nor did he love me. we were young and it's okay.

not long after we broke up, I fell in love with a boy that I have spent two summers with at my job. he fell in love with me, too. like really, really fell in love with me. I believe within the depths of my soul that he is the first boy to ever be in love with me. I have never felt this way about anybody, ever. which leads me to believe that this is the first time I have ever been in love with a boy. he fills my heart with honey.

I have never been so happy romantically in my life. I am not much of a believer in God and all that, but the only way I can explain our coming together is that God put him right in front of me at the right time. he is a beautiful distraction from the death that has visited me this past summer.

I want to thank each and every one of you readers and voters and commenters. so many of you went out of your way to make sure that I was okay and that means a lot to me considering that we are strangers on the internet strung together by our love for Harry and Jane. thank you. I read everything you all say to me. I never forget it, either.

shying away from the personal side of my life, I would like to ask a few questions just out of sheer curiosity.

1. How did you find this book?

2. What are your honest feelings on the story so far? What could be improved in your eyes?

3. Would you want a sequel?

I am doing my best to improve my writing so I appreciate honest opinions as long as they come in a respectful, constructive manner.

again, thank you all so much. you mean the world to me.
