hello again (for just a moment)

so uh i know i’ve been dead for like 2 years (and i’m still dead) but i just wanted to come on here and make a super extra post bc that’s the kind of person i am!!

i graduate high school this week and at the end of the summer i get to move to new york for college and study literature and creative writing!! and i wanted to say thank you to everyone on this site because of it. i know that 5sosff is like dead (rip) but it’s where i gained most of my initial confidence as a writer and i wouldn’t have had the courage to go out and do what i’m gonna do without the support of all you people who have helped me with fic writing when i was a scared little sophomore. so thank you.

thank you to morgan @colorreturningtolife and bex (i have no idea what url she uses now???) for being the homies, thank you to sabrina @eliesaabrina for surviving high school alongside me, thank you to natasha @wokeuptired meg @inthesummerswelter and countless others for being so inspiring with all your talent and wisdom. i have no idea if all/any of you remember me, but i’m still grateful for you guys.

i’m sorry this was like weirdly emotional but i have a lot of feelings ok!!

#me#i don't write fic anymore like i used to but i do miss this blog#and by this blog i mean the people it connected me to#this is super random but like hi again?? i hope you haven't forgotten all those 2015 memories made on 5sosff

just... a post

it’s almost 4 am and i’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing tonight about my life with fic, both reading and writing it. and it’s really bittersweet of me to do this, since i feel like i’m even losing a part of myself, but i’ve decided i’m going to be taking a step back from the community. and maybe this has been a long time coming since i haven’t really posted anything in awhile, but i thought i would let you all know what i’m thinking right now.

it’s not because i feel detached from the community itself - you receive as much love from the community as you put into it, and i’m well aware of this. in fact, i’ve made some amazing, life-long friends from this experience. i’ve grown as a writer and as a person and even as a friend. thank you all for everything you’ve done for me. i hope that i’ve had a smidgen of positive impact on even just one of you. just a little bit would be enough for me. 

i’ll probably still be around lurking in the shadows, but i’m going to stop holding myself to commitments i’m not sure i’ll ever keep. i’m gonna stop lying to myself about where i stand as both a writer and reader in this community. maybe i’ll be back one day after i do a lot of self-reflecting and i rediscover my love for writing. but i don’t think fic has been about that for me for a long time now and it’s time for me to reevaluate.

shoot me a message if you wanna talk - i still love you all. ask me for the url for my main or for my imessage. come talk to me about writing you love and if you’re having a bad day. i’d really hate to give that up too.

thank you all for everything <3
