Author Feedback: 
I'm so glad you feel that way! And yes, to answer your first question, I do like putting the heart on a brutal rollercoaster ride- if people feel emotionally effected by something I've written, I know that it was actually worth writing and strong. Thank you, though, for reminding me through your 2 reviews that there are people in the world who appreciate that, and that criticism will come, but so will kindness. And yes, I know, most of my stories do make people upset- "why does it have to be so sad?" they usually ask.
My answer- well, because I'm a horrible comedy writer

But I really want you to know how happy I am to hear that you enjoyed this and "Crying in the Sun", and how much it meant to me to read your reviews so long after I had originally posted this. Sometimes, it's things like this that make me want to start writing away again, and who knows- maybe something new will come out of it. Either way, I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me how my stories effected you and how highly you praised my writing- it was the greatest compliment you could have given. Thank you once again
