Happy 100K to “What We Never Were”! 
          	
          	A month ago, this story only existed because of my delusions during a holiday… and now it somehow reached more people than I ever expected. That honestly still feels unreal to me.
          	
          	Thank you so much for all the love and support you’ve given this book and my other works. I’m truly grateful that you gave my stories a chance and stayed with me through them.
          	
          	Reading has always been my escape from the noise of reality, but I never expected writing would become an escape too. Sometimes when thoughts and feelings become too heavy, creating something out of them makes everything a little easier to carry.
          	
          	I hope one day you find something that lets you pour your frustrations, thoughts, and emotions into something you genuinely enjoy... whether it’s writing, art, music, or anything else that makes you feel alive again. It really helps more than people realize.
          	
          	Thank you again, folks. I know I talk too much sometimes  but I genuinely appreciate every single one of you. Hopefully in some way, these stories comfort or inspire you the same way your words inspire me too.
          	
          	Lovelots and keep safe,
          	
          	P.S. This is me and my genuine self writing and getting emotional. Not an AI lol :)
          	
          	- G.M

First chapter is out now for “Escapism”! ✨
          
          After emotionally suffering from too much angst, I decided maybe it’s time to heal a little… or at least pretend to lol.
          
          Most of the JENLISA fanfics I’ve been reading are still ongoing since the dinosaurs existed, so I said fine, I’ll cook my own story instead and let my delusions come to life.
          
          This one’s a bit different from what I usually write, so please bear with me and give “Escapism” lots of love. 
          
          I hope you’ll join me in another chaotic little journey.
          
          Lovelots,

@EveryOneButNoOne7 I felt responsible but I need to be honest with you... this is not exactly a fluff story hahaha. More like a romance... but kinda a lil messy? 
            
            So, don't worry. I'll make sure we are healing! Just... not in a healthiest way possible lol.

Hey folks,
          
          Before I Forgot You is finally complete!
          
          Thank you for staying with until the very end and for giving this story so much love.
          
          And I guess if there’s one thing this book constantly tried to show, it’s that you never truly know what someone is silently carrying. 
          
          Sometimes people are surviving things quietly while still trying to smile through it all. 
          
          So please, always choose kindness. 
          
          Even the smallest kindness can change a person’s life more than you realize.
          
          Thank you again!

@panda_rn Take your time, hon. Stories exist sometimes... not to force healing, but to remind you that you’re not alone while you’re figuring things out. 
            
            Just don’t lose yourself in the process, okay? Be gentle with yourself always, cause at the end of the day, you carry yourself through every version of life :)

Just want to post this because it’s funny lol!
          
          I’ve been trying to pull off the whole “rain symbolizes something bad happened / bad luck” thing… but I guess I used it a little too much  HAHAHAHA
          
          Don’t worry though, we’re entering the Sunny Season in the following episodes ☀️
          
          Gosh, I apologize if it’s been rainy season in BIFY lately

What’s up folks,
          
          New chapters are up now! Stayed up revising drafts that have been rotting in my laptop for a week.
          
          Also finally got a new phone after my old one gave up during vacation, so editing and proofreading is way easier now hahaha
          
          And yes… Chapters 36–37 will be the last of Jennie’s POV during those years, which means we are slowly approaching the part of the story that may or may not emotionally ruin everybody involved.
          
          There are only a few chapters left that I’m still working on, so stay tuned 
          
          As always, thank you so much for the constant support, comments, reactions, emotional damage, everything honestly. I appreciate you folks a lot.

Hey folks,
          
          New chapters are finally up tonight! I feel like I finally got the pacing of this book back on track again hahaha
          
          Small warning as well, these chapters contain sensitive topics related to mental health and emotional struggles, so please read comfortably and take care of yourselves.
          
          Please leave comments, feedback, and reactions cause I genuinely read and appreciate all of them so much.
          
          And thank you to everyone who’s still here since day one. I see you always

Hey folks,
          
          Tiny maintenance update from your AU-wannabe.
          
          You might wanna re-read Chapters 29–30 because I republished and revised them after rereading the book this morning and going “hmm… this could hurt more.”
          
          Fixed some scenes, improved the pacing, added more emotional damage lol.
          
          Also dropped a new chapter for you :)
          
          As always, comments, feedback, any kind of reaction are always appreciated. 
          
          Hope you’re enjoying the story so far. Thank you so much for reading!

it did! This chapter showed well how Jennie masked all her feelings during those years, while Lisa worked to prevent them from consuming her. I think we're going to see a very different side of the story now(?). I'm excited!

@ellejll Thank you! I hope you guys aren’t too bombarded by everything going on with these chapters. I wanted to make the recent revelation and Jennie’s decision clearer since I felt her character was being a little misunderstood. Hope this chapter helped with that lol.
