Hi guys, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Where have I been? Where's the next chapter of The Green Leaves of Everfree? Where's the next fluff oneshot? Well... this is gonna be heartbreaking for some of you.

I am unfortunately WAAAY too busy to even consider making time for writing. My classes are extremely taxing, and I'm in a co-ed a cappella group, and I also am looking for internships. On top of that I need to maintain my social life. It's just too much to even consider writing. I don't have space in my brain for inspiration for writing. To be completely honest, I'm not interested in the show anymore. I'm not upset over missing episodes, I haven't watched the movie and I honestly don't care to... I feel like I've outgrown it in a way. There's a chance I might come crawling back when my life falls apart, but for now I don't have any interest in the show or the fanfiction community.

For my classes, last night my coding team was working on a big project from 7 PM to 3:15 AM. Do you have any idea what 8 straight hours of coding will do to you? It gets weird, man, lolz. Even professionals have said that this project is too difficult. It's insane. Multi-threading, cryptography, and networking. In C++. It's a nightmare.

Also, my love for Fluttershy has dwindled. She's still my favorite of the main 6, but I don't feel as much for her anymore. There's a reason for that. For one I just have way too much on my mind, and... I met someone.

There's a girl in my a cappella group whom I really like. She's sweet, pretty, funny, the right amount of sassy, a great singer, she listens to me when I need to talk about something, and she's the cutest thing. Sounds familiar, right? I did attempt to ask her out, and she turned me down for now, but she said she needs to think about it, so I'm still hopeful. In the meantime, I'm just trying to be the best person I can be for her. I can give her compliments like saying she has pretty eyes or that I think she's something special, and it makes her smile. It feels so good to be able to compliment someone like that.

If she says yes in the future, I can't promise I'll be the best boyfriend in the world, but I'll do everything I can to make her happy.

So all of this hopefully explains why I've been gone. I have lots of PMs that I haven't responded to yet, and they'll probably be directed here to read this post. Simply put, I just don't have time for fanfiction anymore. I'll be putting The Green Leaves of Everfree on hiatus, and it'll probably be like that for a while. I'm not sure when/if I'll ever come back to it, but at least the last chapter had some kind of closure to it. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me for this long. If I come back to writing, I hope you'll still be here. If not, the support got me through a lot of rough times when I was lonely and depressed. Every new comment/favorite/follower brightened my day because it told me people cared about my work to leave a response (positive/negative) or follow me.

Honestly without the attention my stories got, I would be in a much darker place with nowhere to vent my feelings. I might've honestly committed suicide. I never came close, but it entered my mind a few times. I'm sure any of my crying blog posts will spell that out.

As it stands right now, as busy and stressed as I am, I'm happy. Or at the very least, I'm content with where I am. But without you guys, I wouldn't be here.

To everyone who has been with me, no matter how long, thanks for your support. It has meant the world to me. I'll still be around, but writing is done for now. Thanks for everything. Nothing can describe how thankful I am. Best wishes to all of you, and remember to treat everyone with kindness, respect, and understanding.
