do you ever read a fanfic that turns you inside out, and look to the authorās notes to find their social media handles? to see if theyāre still around today, what theyāre doing, to message them and let them know that their writing changed something in you. and itās a blank blog, a deactivated handle, no way to know where theyāve gone to now.
maybe i passed them at the grocery store this weekend. maybe they got accepted into the same college as my sister, on the other side of the country. maybe i reblogged a funny post by them on their new account. maybe they have kids now and i will one day teach them how to write the alphabet so that they too, one day, can share stories with the world.
i hope youāre doing well. i wish i could thank you.
