One year ago today I was a bundle of nerves , I was looking over and editing the first part of my second series I ever published. This series means so much to me , I wanted to write something that came from the heart and came from experience. I was raised by teen parents , it was hard sometimes so hard that my parents split up for the longest time I blamed myself and I dealt with anxiety , depression and heartache. Writing helped , writing was an escape and when I originally wrote the series almost two years ago I was writing it to put away the pain and sadness and the stigma I had growing up. It taught me a lot , it taught me not to be afraid of what people thought and to embrace my life and my family. I started writing to escape but ended up finding more happiness then I could possibly imagine , It gave me so much strength and joy. It gave me hope and gave me a sense of happiness that I couldn’t have ever dreamed of. It gave me the courage to reconnect with my dad , it gave me the light in a year that was so dark. I felt so nostalgic reading all my old drafts for the series and seeing all the things I had scrapped , I laughed today , I cried today and I cherish it with all my heart. I almost gave up on the series but I ended up meeting some wonderful people who changed my life and gave me the push I needed to finish the series with that said I wish everyone a happy , healthy and safe new year and I wish a happy first birthday to my series Better as Friends which in the new year I will be rewriting , thank you all for reading , commenting. Your kind words mean so much to me , this series means so much to me and my heart is full of gratitude to you all , thank you for loving these characters and this story and thank you for letting me tell a story so close to my heart , thank you all- Meg
