dear anyone who still cares,
          	
          	i'm so sorry for falling off the face of the earth. life hit extremely hard and drove me deep into the ground. not long after i finished "fall," actually. i was 17 and had SO many ideas to build on the atm/benny series and my other stories. but before i could create that content for you all... let's just say, my imagination died with me.
          	
          	a few years ago, i could have breathed life into all my ideas. over time, my mind brimmed with chaos and lost most of those stories. but i'm ready to take that power back. i refuse to let someone who only cares about themselves destroy me (already been done, maybe for the best) and everything about myself that i could be proud of. which is writing.
          	
          	checking up on wattpad, i see that (among countless haters) there are so many people who have fallen in love with my work. who have felt like they loved ME for the stories i created, the same way i've felt for my favorite authors (on wattpad, it's @gracefulheretic and @hepburnettes; used to be clexaflowercrown or whatever her @ was, but she blocked me after calling her out on some ignorant shite).
          	
          	i just want to say that, over time, i've seen many kind messages. when i write my explanation, you'll know why i didn't respond to every one of them... but please know, i'm sorry for not responding to everyone individually, there's just so much and i'm a mom of 2 now -- but i can't even begin to express how happy you all have made me. how loved i felt after 2-3 years of believing that no one in the world cared about my existence at all.
          	
          	i've been fighting hard to regain myself. does anyone here know what a narcissist is? (if not, i'm going to explain it from my point of view soon.) a deeper question, does anyone remember the mentioning of a "first love" from ATM? all i have to say to that is LOOOOOLAJKJDNKJSNF.
          	
          	i love (and miss) you all, even if you don't remember me. please don't give up on me. it might help me escape the nightmare i'm trapped in!

@notmakayla I just started reading the Benny book and I already like it!! I'm so srry about the annoying haters tho, whenever I open the comments someone is ALWAYS complaining. Just ignore them, they way I look at it is that, U don't even know them and they don't know u. So basically just let them continue talk smack or whatever because they are not going to do anything anyways! Otherwise that, I really like ur Benny book and I hope u have a good day wherever u are. <3333

I know you probably won’t see this, but I feel like I grew up with you. I am 15 (almost 16) and reading atm, purpose, and fall made ME feel like writing could be a thing for me. I love those stories with all of my heart and I’ll probably reread them soon. I’m so happy to hear you have children now, I hope your life is doing well, and I hope you haven’t lost your love for Benny. (Not a crush thing now ofc because you’re an adult now) but I hope you have love for him because of how far your stories have come because of him. Atm now has 1.6 MILLION reads. Which if that was me, I would freak out. That’s an incredible amount of reads and I’m so happy that it’s come that far. I only started reading this month (February 2024) but I feel like I grew up with you, and the characters. I love how you put your own twist on the characters and gave every one of them an amazing personality that I grew to love. (My favorite characters are a lot- but probably Benny, Luke, Kayla, Bertram, and ivy.) the story brought me tears of sadness, laughter, and happiness. I hope your life is doing great. I truly do. Because I’ve grown to love you as a person even though we may be strangers right now, don’t give up hope. Life is a blessing, and so are those three books I’ve grown attached to. God bless you! <3 -Anna Feb 28th 2024

Dear Makayla, I just finished reading your Benny Rodriguez stories and I need to know if your ever coming back to the writing world! your writing style was beautiful and unique and I'd love for you to maybe re-write or re-boot the stories? It would mean the world to me and your fans. You might not of known it but your stories helped me get through my family trauma. My parents are getting a divorce in a few months, and if you actually are reading this I would do close to anything if you wrote these great stories again. -Signed, Your fan, Livi.
