??????? ?????

Okay, so, I'm staring at this screen, and I'm genuinely at a loss.

I literally don't know how to thank you guys. I've tried writing this a million times, and every version feels underwhelming. No words can even begin to describe how much I appreciate y'all. Seriously, I'm absolutely floored.

100K READS?

After going MIA twice? I'm convinced you're all secretly robots programmed to be overly supportive. Either way, I honestly don't know how you all stuck with me, but I'm beyond grateful. You took a chance on a story I started out of pure, unadulterated boredom. I'm so touched by your support, your comments-even the 'update now!' ones, I get it-and your patience, which, honestly, deserves a medal. You've built a whole community around this random thing I created, and that's just...wow.

I truly, genuinely, fucking love you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've given me a gift I never expected, and I'm bursting with gratitude. Seriously, thank you, thank you, thank you. You've given me the confidence to keep writing, even when I felt like throwing my laptop out a window (which, let's be real, was a frequent occurrence). You've made me feel like my stories matter, like my weird little ideas aren't just floating around in my head for no reason.

You've made me feel like I belong, and for that, I'm beyond thankful. I fucking love you all, once again, and I promise to try my best to deserve this incredible milestone. You've given me a reason to keep going, to keep creating, and that means more than you know. You've given me a reason to fight the urge to delete everything and move to a remote island. Seriously, you guys are the fucking best.

I. LOVE. YOU.

kisses to all my sexy and beautiful lovers.

once again, thank you. From the bottom of my heart,

organsmell, xoxo.
