"There is a voice I can no longer remember, a melody I can barely recall- a dream where I saw something so beautiful I could cry. Where is it, that feeling... of seeing something from a place no man can reach? It hurts so much to let go."*

It was a hazy world filled with emotions so strong and yet so vague. Was it a happy world? A sad one? So many of my memories seemed to flash before my eyes, but at the same time none of them were mine. It was as confusing as it was dazzling- this place which you could only reach with your soul.

Ah hello everyone... It's been a long time since I written anything fanfiction related... I'm really sorry for leaving so many stories incomplete. I've been rereading old reviews left on my stories and feeling really guilty about ditching so many stories when there were nice people encouraging me. Back in 2016, my passion in reading and writing fanfiction kind of just died. I couldn't really enjoy fanfics as much as I used to and I felt really insecure about my ability to write. Even though there were times I would suddenly get inspired ("today I'm definitely going to update this story or that!") only to quickly feel like it was pointless to even try. It's a little funny thinking about it because I actually gained a passion for writing essays post 2016 that I never had before hand (it's weird! I absolutely hated writing essays in middle and high school, but I grew to enjoy writing them in college). I didn't know why, maybe it was because it was just my teacher reading them lol-

In the beginning of 2020 I started binge reading a lot of Chinese, Japanese and Korean web novels, and in 2021 I slowly began reading fanfictions again, and it was honestly a nice feeling. I think I started it when I suddenly remembered a rather depressing manga and wanted to read fanfics where everyone ended up happy. It was totally worth it since I ended up finding a good few wholesome ones which really made my day.

I sometimes regret not posting anything sooner. I've sent pms to people promising to update stories back in *2018* only to end up not doing anything at all. Well, I'd like to start actually doing something, even if it's just going back and editing the stories I already posted (because god did I put in a lot of annoying author's notes in all caps and said a lot of annoying and irritating things). Well, at least it shows I've grown somewhat if I can see how immature I was years ago haha

I'll try to start out with this story since I've read 07 Ghost so many times that I've memorized whole sections of the manga in my head (07 Ghost will always be my most favorite manga of all time) and I still sort of remember where I was going with this story. I have old notes about where I want many of my other stories to go, but I'm having troubles finding them, and even if I do find them, I'll likely make some very significant changes to them that will hopefully make them better.

I'll always be thankful for the support I received over the years. Even if it's only a handful they've always made me happy to read them, and if it weren't for them I probably would continue not even trying.
