Genuine question, what was/is it about strange addiction that made you enjoy it so much? I have struggled to find any love for that story. At certain times I wish I had never wrote it. I hope to one day be brave enough to delete it or change my perception of it. I hope one day people could enjoy what I’m currently doing, and let strange go. I enjoy reading comments, but unfortunately the only ones I ever get are for that story. And I just feel nothing for it anymore. And it’s hard to check in here everyday and see that people feel the opposite of me.

@StanThinMints I understand what you mean, its very frustrating when that happens...personally i think it's great that you went through it and finished the story. That's an achievement on its own

@TrudyHopeHunter towards the end of strange I was so afraid my writing was slipping because I just wanted to end it so bad. But there were times I was so excited to be writing it. I guess I wish it had never faded. But thank you for taking the time to explain why

I'm sorry you feel that way about strange and I genuinely understand what you are going through. It'd a weird feeling for me with my stories when it comes to that point bcuz I have people enjoying and commenting on it but I have no connection to them anymore. As for your question, strange was a different sort of chaelisa story that I hadn't seen when you were writing it. And it was never one character messing up all the time. I enjoyed watching these characters transition from teens to adulthood, trying to figure themselves and the world out and making SO MANY mistakes, but it felt real. And that gave hope, that when things are so drastically dark they could still get better. I think the constant hope and love in the story attracted me to it. Whether you ever delete it or not, I wanted to let you know I feel grateful to have read it ❤️
