I don't know what to say except, goodbye. I've been considering this for a while, but I've reached the final straw. The war is on, and I must fight, that's all there is to it. I've been trying to keep an open mind, stay hopeful in my dreams of a perfect family, but my dad hit my last nerve. Something's going to happen tonight, something bad. The only question is, will I hide in the corner like I usually do, like a scared little kid? Or will I finally do something to try and defend the people I love, like the young woman I've become? Whatever happens tonight will end in disaster either way. I'll either be filled with the eternal guilt of not sticking up for my sister, or I could jump into the flames and get seriously burned. I have to leave this internet world behind, because there are more important matters for me to deal with, so now, it's official. This is my final goodbye. I may return when things ease up, but I think this is a tear that can never be mended. I'll only log on to read other stories or any reviews, but other than that, this is the end. It pains me to do this, but I have no other choice. This is no place for a girl who's suffering. With that said, I wish all of you the best of luck in the future, and I hope you'll turn out better than me. I especially want to acknowledge my friend Marinette Loud. She's been by my side since I first started writing BHM and has stood by me through it all, and I just wanna say thanks for your support, and you mean so much to me. Most of all, I have a bit of advice for you: keep positive, have confidence, stay hopeful, because you have talent. I'm sure you'll get that YouTube channel started someday, and maybe one day you can be a writer here. And when your life gets rough and something seems impossible, just remember that even though I'm done on fanfiction, I'm not giving up. I'll still always be writing, because I love it, and it's a part of me that I'll always keep close to my heart. So just keep your head held high and don't let anyone stop you from being who you were truly meant to be! I also want to acknowledge brandon08liu. Your last review really did inspire me, and I'm just glad I was able to inspire you with my writing. It absolutely touches my heart when someone tells me that I had a positive impact on their life. Like I said, I'm not giving up on what I love. I've come to realize that I shouldn't care what my family thinks about me or expects of me, I should just be myself. And I'm going to keep writing, keep being my quirky and childish self, and take on life at my own pace. My classmates wanna start adulting now? Cool, good for them! I think I'll just spend my teen years being an actual teenager. Going out, having some fun, not a care in the world. Then when I get closer to college I'll start caring. They're gonna go audition for musicals? Sweet, I'll record cheesy unprofessional song covers with my teacher! It's way more fun than all that audition stress anyway! So yeah, I've come to accept myself, and I'm pretty proud of who I turned out to be, and if my parents can't see that, that's their problem! Well, I think I'm done here, so I guess I'll just end this with my signature sign off! This is pika418, signing off, and despite how worried I am right now, I also feel pretty great, so stay awesome everybody!
