Story 2 Chapter 12

Hi all, thank you so much for your unending patience. I hate being the type of author who flakes on you all, but these last few months have been so trying, and I seriously lost myself. I had to make a massive change in my life that changed everything, and it was a lot to deal with. My mental & emotional state took a turn for the worse, & I had thoughts of self-harm. Over the last 18 months, I lost myself to someone I didn't recognize, & my true self was trying to break free the entire time. Once I realized where I went wrong, I changed what I needed to change, and deal with the emotional blow it on me and someone else. But I am working through it, and I am working on being the real me again. I will try to at least update twice a week for now and determine where I go from here. I love you all. Thank you for always being there for me.
