I've started rereading Delcat's "The Skies We're Under" series again for the I don't even know how many-th time.
I stumbled upon the series sometime between 2016-18 I think I was in middle school at that time, (not the best time to have been reading it normally) At the time I stumbled upon the series I was going through quite a lot in my life there were a lot of big, sudden and scary changes that happened at the time. Events from before then that I still hadn't yet processed as trauma. Anyways.
I don't know what it was but something resonated with me while reading that series, I don't know what it was, but something, just something about the series helped me get through that time. I really appreciate the author and the series because they gave me an escape during a time where nothing was really right with my life.
I look back in it now and know full well that I shouldn't have been allowed to read the series much less without question about it from the people around me. Unrestricted internet access was both a blessing and a curse for me. A blessing because of the escapism that was the internet, a curse because of how young I was desensitized to a lot of things.
Regardless of the circumstances of why, when and how I found myself reading "The Skies We're Under" it helped me through some tough times. It resonated with me on some odd level that I still can't fully understand and is a series that will remain close to my heart for the foreseeable future.
