Brilliantly done!

please write more, it has been a while since you posted a chapter, so please more

awwww such a sweet ending. Let me for warn that once I start writing and get into the zone it just flows and it can go all over the place cause my mind takes over with a million thoughts that produce even more. It's kind of like when Will Farrell blacks out and answers a political question in Old School and afterwords is like what happened I totally blacked out. Kind of like being taken over by a muse letting the creative flow through you. If I stop it it's hard to get back into that flow, so i apologize for the random thoughts and if you can't make sense of what I'm saying. Anyway on with it. I love when a story has a happy ending. I feel like there is so much depressing shit in this world and that why not create stories that are full of positivity, love and happiness. yeah to make it more real you have to include sadness and drama but i truly believe it is possible to have a story that's realistic why keeping it more happy than sad (because I believe it is possible to have friendships and relationships that are way more happy with maybe a dash (if any at all) of sad. I know there is no light without the dark and you really appreciate blissful joy when you experienced the lowest of sullen pain and sadness but just we've experience the worse of the worse do we have to keep living it, choosing it, believing it is only real if contains bad with the good. I personally believe the laws of attraction. How we are attracts like people. Whatever we put into the universe we receive in return. What we surround ourselves with, allow to effect us and choose to experience all affects our being whether we realize it or not. Knowing this I refuse to constantly listen to depressing and anger music, read and watch drama. When and if I do I always look for the bright side of the situation and choose to dwell on the positive stuff instead of linger in the pain of it. In short I want to surround myself with the things I love and want to attract in my life. What does this all have to do with your story you might say? Everything...now is when ima lets myself get into the trace of deep thoughts as I review your story.
Your story was funny, romantic and loving. Yes it had sad stuff but most (if not all) of the drama, anger and sadness was in the flash backs. Which I will admit were a bit difficult to read at first because I am the sort of person that can feel what people are feeling (which is another reason why I refuse to volunteer to expose myself to such negative painful feelings through entertainment). Yes it was difficult to read your flash backs maybe the first half or less but at some point I got it. I understood their purpose. I understood the deeper meaning of it all. You summed it up best in the last chapter with Quinn saying how their past was their past and she wasn't going to allow past shit to effect her present life. It is what is you can't change it so why dwell on it and continue to carry that weight around allowing it to pull you down like an anchor? Our past will always be there the best we can do is acknowledge it, how it made you feel, learn from it and move forward. Why would anyone want to choose to soak in something so dreadful knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do about it now except learn, be and do things different so you can have the outcome you wish to have. That's what I thought the meaning of your flashbacks were. This happened the end result sucked but I am who I am today because of those experiences and now I know what I want and can focus on achieving and receiving the things I wish to have and let go and leave behind the things I never wish to experience again. Yes you can tell how both of their pasts effect them at present before they get together. Their past create this fear of what might happen if they shut their thoughts up and just listen to their hearts and followed what they were feeling. This is a great exampled of the price we pay when we allow the past to control us. Quinn is afraid Santana only wants sex because that's how Santana acted towards her in the past. Then there was the reason Santana turned Quinn down before because of not wanting Quinn because she was straight. I believe Quinn was still fighting with her feelings allowing herself to believe her feelings for women were nothing significant and thinking she still wanted to be with a man cause that is what she was raise to believe is the more acceptable choice. Even thought she no longer wanted her family in her life and more and more was acknowledging what she knew to be true deep down inside (which I believe was part of what that tattoo meant), pieces of it still lingered without her realizing it was still dictating her life. Sometimes it's time and lots of effort to change because we were conditioned to be a certain way. As Yoda says "You Must Unlearn What You Have Learned" (I strongly suggest watching the training scenes with Luke & Yoda in Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back...You see how deep everything Yoda says to Luke and how it truly applies to life, having faith and believing anything is possible when you know that your limits are not what you think they are if you just keep pushing past them. Which reminds me of this awesome aww inspiring true story. The dude who broke the sound barrier no one had ever done it before. He was just flying a plane as fast as he could to see how fast the plane could go not knowing what it's limits were. When things got scary and the plane began to shake he had 2 options. 1 slow down for fear of the unknown waiting for him on the other side or 2 keep pushing forward if only to see what was waiting for him on the other side of the unknown. Maybe he knew he'd always regret not pushing forward to see what would happen and couldn't bare living a life full of regrets so he shut his mind and all of it's fearful thoughts up and followed his heart his instinct filling him with feelings that said fucking go for it you will never know what will happen until you do it. We have no idea what we are capable of and what are limits are which is why it's so important to follow your heart and ignore your mind because your heart knows the truth and it believes in all of your awesomeness that awaits for you on the other side of the unknown...I could go on with this I have more deep stuff that applies to that but anyway back to my point...it's in there somewhere i know it.) So reason B why Quinn was scared to make a move on Santana was cause she still believe part of her was straight and didn't want to hurt Santana if she wasn't 100% sure she wanted to be in a relationship with a woman because she knew when it came to Santana she knew she couldn't just be friends with benefits. she knew deep down inside she wanted more than that and when she accepted that she realize the other fear which was Santana may only want to be fuck buddies and didn't care about Quinn in any other way. Again this is why your flashbacks to the past where so important. Quinn could tell how much hurt Santana had about the whole Brittany thing and probably didn't want to end up doing what Brittany did to Santana by rushing into anything only to realize she didn't want it. After the girl in London Quinn knew she was capable of being in a relationship with a woman if she found the right girl but maybe she still felt that one day she'd be back with the girl in London someday cause she still had strong feelings for her. This is what I got when she talked about London and how one day she'd live there (deeper meaning was one day she'd be back with that girl cause that's what she thought she wanted...maybe another reason why she hesitated to make a move on Santana after all her London chick was a recent situation she was probably still getting over). Santana was living in fear of allowing herself to fall for another girl like she did with Brittany only to have her heart broken. I think she didn't really fully let go of Brittany until she realized she had done the same thing to Hayley by going into a relationship knowing how she truly felt about it. Being on the other side of that being the one that cause the pain by allowing someone to fall in love with you knowing you didn't feel as strongly as they did is probably the main reason (besides thinking Quinn was straight) why she was even more cautious about hooking up with woman after Hayley. She refused to make anyone feel what she felt when Brittany broke her heart. This was her growing up and leaving the Santana that didn't think she just jumped into things following her desire and not thinking about the consequence of her actions. What she needed to find was a balance of the 2. Following her heart, desires and instinct but only when she knew what she wanted out of it. Believing Quinn felt exactly the same as she did and wanted it was badly as she did was her greatest challenge cause the fear of her past kept filling her with doubt creating all of these what ifs and reasons why it was a bad idea to make a move. I wonder 2 things. Why Quinn never came out to Santana? Was is cause she was still unsure of the level of her gayness and didn't want to lead Santana on and end up hurting her like she did Manny? or was it because she didn't wanna tell Santana she wasn't straight only to be turned down by Santana or worse used just for sex only which is like karma biting her in the ass cause thats what she did to most of her past female encounters (I think these are probably 2 strong possibilities for both of them not making a move). Number B thing I wonder is if Santana knew Quinn was into girls would she have made a move on her or still allow her fears to stop her? Cause maybe Santana was also fearful of getting deep into a relationship with Quinn and just when she let go and allowed herself to feel and acknowledge her feelings for Quinn, Quinn would pull back and run away just like she did the first time they sort of hooked up and maybe that's why Santana stopped herself from hooking up with Quinn

You are funny. I usually wait till the end to write a huge detailed review if I love the story and the way the author writes the story...which ima tease you here and still wait till the end of this story to do so but I did have to tell you I like never read the author's announcements but for some strange reason I find myself reading yours because they make me laugh and they are the cutest thing. Now I wanna go back and read all of your announcements. "Attention whore" I can totally picture you patting yourself on your back after writing an wonderful chapter.
