Hello everyone, About 5 months ago, I had a breakup with what I thought was 'The One.' She is smart, funny, beautiful. I wrote her letters, because sometimes there was no other way to express my emotions. When things ended, I wasn't myself, and I'm still not. But a couple months ago I decided to channel that pain into creativity, and I have been working on writing a short novel about what happened. If you want to read it and give feedback on what I have so far, I'm gonna link a google doc down below. It would mean the world to me if you would take a look at it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oquAwodbPZzF7WIiMuX68HdtETuWsvgN1ko6V85h2VU/edit?tab=t.0

This month I want to get more of my edits done and possibly someone to beta-read the first draft (to give me outside thoughts) and my second draft edits as I do them. I'm also currently a full time special education major, working full time in special education, and a parent, so I don't always feel like i have the time to do this stuff. I'm working on it though, surviving 💪
