Hi, sorry but this is going to be long and sappy because I just finished rereading jwin, worlds apart, and botr consecutively, and I just realized I’ve been reading your stories for 10 years. I first read just what I needed in 2011- I was 12 years old. It was a really bad year for me, I was dealing with a lot of family sh!t, yada yada yada. As an escape I started reading obsessively, and after exhausting my library’s YA section I moved to wattpad where I found you.
Before I read your stories, I don’t think anyone had taken the time to show me how to listen to music. Music was the 00s country my mom would play on the radio in the car or the Katy Perry and jay sean they would play at school. It sounds dumb to say, but I had never realized I should stop to LISTEN to lyrics. Your stories, the way you talked about music, and the music you led me to became my ENTIRE personality. I think I worried my 7th grade English teacher because I would write about how much I wrote about how I missed kurt kobain or wished I could’ve gone to woodstock lmao. You single handedly shaped the way I perceive music, and as a result changed my life.
Anyway, now im 22 and kind of an adult. I don’t know what my life would be like if I hadn’t read your stories, and I just really wanted to let you know. Sorry if that’s weird lol, but just thank you for what you’ve written, and for continuing to write. I hope you’re doing well!! For as long as you continue to write, you will have a fan in me <3
