And someday wasn't a very hopeful promise, but she still hold onto it. Because if not, what else could she do?


I wrote this having the So Many Words Never Said universe in mind. But since it's based on events I haven't posted yet, you can come up with your own conclusions.

Well. This made me think. A lot.

...

My brain hurts now.

Umm, okay?
Making people think it's good enough for me :derpytongue2:

I'm not sure what to think of it {though my current frame of mind might be a factor here} but I did enjoy reading it.

Don't worry, I'm not sure either. Glad you enjoyed it tho

Reading this gave me familiar feelings for all the wrong reasons... Shitty parents doing shitty things is something I know about all too well.

It's important for stories like this to exist, even if they don't end with the perfect catharsis we wish they would. Life doesn't work that way.

Thank you for writing this.

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment. While I wrote this during a mayor depression episode and I kinda projected a bunch of stuff (part of the reason it took me a bit to answer this), my base was exactly what you said: Shitty parents doing shitty things. But my goal on this kind of stories is to project reality as it is, as much a it hurts.
Thanks again, it means a lot.

I totally get projecting stuff in fics--eight of my nine stories have suicide/self-harm tags for a reason. Shitty parents, various traumas, unhealthy behaviors, bad thoughts, all that stuff... Something about giving them to a character I care about and seeing how they live with it really seems to help me, even if it's not always a happy ending.

Keep writing from the heart. This site and all the people reading your stories are better off because of it.

Finally leaving is a fantasy that seems so perfect until you actually experience it. The freedom, the relief, the joy... they all seem to melt away in that rear-view mirror once you realize there's nowhere far enough away to truly escape it. No matter where you go the emotions and memories can't be left behind. Almost like you never even really left.

Good stories are basically boiled-down emotions and this is certainly one of them. An unfortunate reality that you've had to feel these things to be able to share them with us, but I'm glad that you did. I hope things are going better for you now and you don't have to feel them quite so much anymore.

Gosh, even your vent writing is artful. Great stuff.

I think cathartic writing allows for a better emotional impact for the reader since it's coming from a place of vivid experience. What ever was going on with you during this period was expertly crafted to fit into Twilight's headspace weather it be by choice or creative liberties. For me it fit Twilight's personality, so great story.
