In all seriousness though. 

I’m sorry you were having such a day. Those are no fun, and sometimes it’s true a couple of chapters in another world is just the thing to get you through. 

I have been there, dear one. When it looks like I might not make it to my bed at the end without a lot of hyperventilating and tears. I will not bore you with my growing up and what that was like, everyone has sad things and everyone has happy things but for me reading and falling into as many worlds as I could honestly saved my life. 

I hope that you know how much your message meant to me. I started writing because of two things
1) i had worlds in my head that had developed from letting bad things in my life decompose and ferment with the wonderful words of other authors I had read and
 2) i wanted to share those with others because they brought me joy and like the books that had saved me I thought maybe, just maybe I could make other people happy too. 

I’m still floored- every time- i realize that there are living breathing people who take the time to read my things and actually enjoy it. So to hear that it helped on a bad day, much like I would have said of many of my favorite books …

Well. 

I read your message curled up in bed with the sun shining through my window, and the sky a beautiful blue, and honestly felt a little like my heart was made of something gooey and soft and wonderful.

So thank you, for that. For sharing, and I’m so so glad to have been of help.

Much, much love to you
