If I said I was the ocean, would your eyes clear?
If I swore I was a star, would your ears truly hear?
If I insisted I was beautiful, would your head shake?
I am a heart, and it is only then that you believe.

I am a dreamer. I write. I believe.

P.S. I haven't updated anything on here in a long time, and in truth, it almost pains me to see some of the junk I posted in my younger years. The truth is, my attention has turned to original compositions. I am not leaving the site, but as I entered high school I also left fanfiction, save for a small bit of ink in my pen. I no longer have the time/dedication/heart to write fanfiction during the school year, so though there is much cleaning up to do with my fanfiction, in all honesty I will probably never do it.

I would love to rewrite some of my writing, Love and Chance for example, but I just don't have the patience. I anticipate the summer, when I will continue School For Dummies due to popular demand. However, my anticipation is somewhat spoiled since I will be on vacation for a rather long time.

Another reason for my lack of updating is also that I am outgrowing the site and fanfiction. I love fanfiction.net and I love (most of) its inhabitants. This was a safe haven for me amidst those middle school years, a place I could turn to that would never shun me, never want to shun me. Quite the opposite - it encouraged me to spread my wings. But now it is time for me to face the world head on and speak the words I would have only penned years before.

But, I reiterate, I am not leaving the site and I will update some stories, come summer (ahhhhh, the ocean and iced tea...the sunshine...). Until then, hugs and kisses to all you reviewers who have left comments for me throughout this first year of high school. :)
