Ah the way I gasped😭 that was perfect for what I’ve been planning for Dylan’s character arc 🤭

“…Love?” someone asked.

“Yes, my dear, delectable Dylan.”

And you’re such a good writer girl!! I love reading this!! 🤩

Ofc 💗💗

Yess for real! I always am like “well this sucks but it’s worth it” because I always grow SO MUCH CLOSER to God at camp!!

YESS!!! Samee here.

You’re so generous XD XD thanks girl hahaha

XDXD you’re so welcome girl

Thank you sooo much girl you have no idea how much that means to me!!!! Love you too Light!!!! <333

Oh girl of course!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

It helps that I’ve been growing closer to my family over the summer…going to public school kind of ruined my relationship with my family and I was so distant and just tired of people after a 9 hour day away from home! But God is good and now I’m going to counseling to help me deal with all my stress and emotions (scary, but oh well I’ll survive somehow)! And I’ve learned to trust my family again after a season of depression where I self-isolated and wouldn’t let anyone in…so praise God I am where I am today, even if it’s not perfect 😎

Aww girl I am so sorry, I can’t even imagine how hard that must be!!! You’re so strong for going through that and I promise, everything will turn out the way it’s meant to!! Our Heavenly Father has a wonderful plan of happiness for us, and the trials and challenges we face now will seem like nothing when we return to Him and have eternal joy and peace and love. It’ll all be okay ❤ Love you girl!!

I’ve struggled with being lonely a lot since I don’t have that many close friends, but I realized that Jesus wants to and should be my bestie and I’m never alone!!! (now I have a guy best friend for realz…my guy Jesus!!!)

I understand that🥺 I wish I could meet you in person, I feel like we would be instant besties!!!! 🥰🥰 I’ve struggled with feeling that way too, but YES!!! Exactlyyy, Jesus is the bestiest bestie we could ask for❤❤

Aww yes I know…being a teenage girl can be sooooo hard and mentally draining!!! and yes PREACH sister!!! <3

It really can be!!! But I know it’s gonna be so worth it!! Awww hahaha <33

 

I don’t think I’ve ever read abt your WIP before…so please do tag me if you ever post any of it!!!

Oh I sure will girl!! I haven’t really posted anything about my WIP lately because it’s undergoing serious renovation (XD) but when I get it figured out I will definitely tag you!!! <333

@grcr

Awww I’ve missed you too girl!! <33 How’s your art going? 😁

I’ve been ok. Alive and, well, just living lol. Slowly progressing on everything. My sister and I may be auditioning for our first play next week though! We’re really excited for that, even though we’re just hoping to be in the ensemble… nothing too major lol. also, my brain decided to quit on me. 😑

I completely understand that girl!. *extra big hug* Oh my goodness, that’s so exciting!! Are you doing it for your school or something else? (can’t remember if you’re homeschooled or not 😭) I’ll be praying for you and your sister!! Y’all will do great. oh noooo I hate it when my brain quits on me, especially when I need it most hahaha 😭😂 *big hug*

You too girl!!! 💖💖 Love youu!!

 

@rae

Actually, it’s much cooler than that! It’s the type you use for competitive sports. Some colleges do it, but I believe it’s mainly up here in New England. So far I’ve done sweeping, sculling, a single boat, a group of four and a group of eight. Want to try a double with one of the experienced rowers sometime, but haven’t gotten the chance yet

Oh my gosh girl!!! That is sooooo cool!!! I literally love that so much. You’ll have to keep me updated on how it goes!!

Btw have you seen The Boys In The Boat? You talking about your competitive rowing reminded me of it. It’s about the story of the University of Washington’s rowing team and their journey to try and make it into  the 1936 Olympics. It’s amazing, I saw it in the theaters with my family this past December and it’s for free on Prime Video now!

Heyy!

I had to temporarily quit horseback riding and anything to do with physical strain (the doom of an active farm girl teen) because of three tick-borne diseases right after each other. Didn’t help I never had been on antibiotics before so my immune system was not pleased. Oh, and NEVER bite down on Doxycycoline (if I’m spelling that correct) it’s worse than soap! Anyways, doing much better now.

Oh nooo girl!! I’m so sorry, that’s terrible😭😭 *hug* I’m glad you’re doing better now!! Ugh I hate ticks so much. Everytime I go into the woods I ALWAYS find one on me and it’s so scary😅 They always find me. Last week when I was at camp, my friends and I were doing our yoga class outside and there was a big one on my arm!! And we weren’t even near the woods at that moment😦

This summer, I started rowing classes. Wasn’t interested at first but Dad wanted me to go and I figured it’d be a good way to build up my strength again so I can go back to the stable. Despite my negative attitude in the beginning, I find it very enjoyable.

 

Oh my gosh rowing classes? Like canoeing?? That sounds so cool. I’m glad you’ve been able to enjoy it now that you’re warming up to it!!

Wow girl!!! Congrats on the almost 45k words!

And HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAYYYY 🥳🥳🥳🥳 AND OH MY GOODNESS REALLYY?!? Awwwww she sounds so sweet 🥰 That’s awesome girl. I really would like to get a jersey cow someday!! They are sooooo cute🥰🥰

 

*hug* I’m glad <33 I’ll continue to pray for you!! So glad you’re doing good!!

 

Umm…writing isn’t really existent right now😂, but I’m hoping to get some done sometime soon!

@savannah_grace2009

*HUGE HUG* Girl awwww hahaha😝 You’re so sweet❤❤

Yes my life’s been busy too! but instead of actually taking a break from KP and writing…I distract myself with being busy with KP XD not the healthiest thing to do but oh well lol

Oof yess, I’ve done that before too 😅 But girlie if you ever feel the need to step away for a few weeks or however long you need, don’t be afraid to do that! We’re always here for you but we understand that we all have lives outside of KP and sometimes taking a small break can be super beneficial 🫶 And if not, that’s great too!!

 

I am hahaha, it’s okay though, the lack of sleep was worth the spiritual experiences I got to have 😴 Oh my gosh yes girl, that is so me 😭 This was like the one time that I didn’t get sick after camp

My summer’s been soooo busy! I’m trying to get my show animals ready for our fair and it’s exhausting! but I’ll get a lot of money after I sell them so it’s worth it! I’ve also been working on writing a LOT as well. It’s slow but worth it!

Oh wow girl!! That’s awesome and sounds so tiring!! *hands you the few hours of sleep I got* here I think you need this more than I do 🤭

My mental health’s been not the greatest either…I might be neurodivergent (me and my mom think I have a subtype of ADHD…ADHD isn’t just distractions but it can lead to bad thoughts and shame and other feelings that neurotypical people don’t experience as strongly) and I’ve been dealing with a LOT of anxiety and stress and loneliness! So not fun. But I know God’s gonna help me through it ❤

Awwww girl, I’m so sorry😭 That sounds so rough. Several of my extended family members have dealt with mental illness and ADHD so I’m relatively familiar with it. I want you to know that I’m here for you and I’m praying for you!! You’re gonna get through this, girl. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you ever need anything! Love you ❤

 

I’m good!! Things are hectic and, like I said to Min, the craziness of being a teenage girl is sometimes overwhelming, but I’m getting through it!! I’m so grateful to have such amazing friends like y’all and a  wonderful supportive family, as well as a Father in heaven who loves each of us. 🥰

I haven’t had time to write much, but hopefully I will soon XD I’ll keep y’all updated!!

@mineralizedwritings

Aww tysm!! Hahaha yes, slowly getting there😴

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry girl 🥺 That sounds so scary!! I’m always here if you ever need anything. My grandparents yesterday were actually just talking about when my uncle had Lyme disease when he was a teenager and the doctors gave him an antibiotic that cured him.

Keep me updated on how you’re doing!!! Do you think you were bitten by a tick?

*sending tons of virtual hugs*

 

Praying for you, girl ❤ You will get through this, I promise.

 

Oh my goodness that’s awesome girl!!! *big hug* You totally deserve it, you’re amazing at every kind of art there is!! Digital art is so cool and I know you’re gonna do great things with it.

I’d love to see some of your artwork whenever you share some!! And yeaaah I completely get that. Timing is so hard to figure out, especially when you’re a perfectionist. That’s one reason I can’t ever find time to draw, because I take like 5 hours trying to fix one feature of a face or smh 😭 I would love to draw and create comics though😍

And oh my gosh yess!!! I’ve actually already read LOTR and I agree, it’s amazing!!!!! I definitely need to read it again soon. Who was your favorite character? I think I can already tell who’s @freed_and_redeemed was, judging by her pfp 😂🤭

 

I’m doing good!! Trying to figure out all the emotions and craziness of being a teenager, but ultimately, I’m doing well :)) I’ve been able to grow closer to my family lately and I’m so grateful for that, because about a month ago things weren’t doing so hot 😅

I am still really enjoying summer, and yes even though school starting back is always that ominous deadline around the corner, I’m not dreading it too much! Well, except maybe math 😝 I love fall and the seasons that come with school starting, so that’s probably one reason why. And I’m homeschooled, so school really isn’t a chore for me (again, except for math) and I get to spend time with my family and I love that <33

I haven’t written in who knows how long though, but maybe when school starts back I’ll get some motivation😂

😂😂

post scenes and break hearts. That’s what I do. And I do it very well, if I do say so myself😝

Oh my gosh girll 😂😂

jkjk

but I do think I break a lot of hearts on here

 

 

You do🫠 Yes, you do it quite well😂😭 I don’t think my heart is fit to be called a heart anymore after reading Dietrich’s fate…and Finn’s…and Jezyk’s…💔😭

@ellette-giselle

Hey there and welcome to KP, Ellete!! I know I’m super late to the welcome party, but I saw some of your posts  and you sounded amazing and I wanted to come meet you!! (Btw I absolutely adore your name, its beautiful ❤)

I’m Lightoverdarkness, or just Light, (although my real name is Natalie and sometimes I’m known as Nat, but honestly you can call me whatever😂) a homeschooled 15 year old girl who loves reading, writing, listening to a variety of different genres of music, drawing, playing piano, spending hours daydreaming and plotting stories while washing the dishes, ballroom dancing, and spending time with family and friends. <3 I also enjoy riding horses when I can!!

Here’s a few get to know you questions 🙂

1. What is your favorite song?

2. Which of your characters do you most relate to?

3. What’s your favorite quote?

4. How many siblings do you have?

5. How do you usually come up with your book ideas?

 

I LOVE your books girl 🤩🤩 They sound amazing and I love your characters already!! How long have you been writing?

 

And oh my gosh girl, I LOVE that you wear long skirts!!! I really wish I could wear them more often. They’re so graceful and ladylike! Where I live it’s soooo hot though, I sweat so much whenever I wear one lol 😭 But in the winter it’s so perfect 🥰

Well one thing God has been teaching me lately is the importance of contentment. I long to be married and raise a whole houseful of children!! (All boys if I had my way). With all of my closest friends married and starting their own families, it’s hard to be the only one not doing that. All my peers are causal dating, but my parents and I have decided to do biblical courtship and wait for the young man God brings me as my husband. It’s hard when the friends I admire are married, and my peers are all pared up, leaving me the only single in the bunch. However, God has been teaching me that if I can’t find joy now, I will never find joy in being married and raising a family

Girl, I already love you and can tell that we’re gonna get along really well!!! <3 I’m not old enough to start dating and courting but my parents and I have decided that same thing. I want to wait on the man that God is preparing for me and continue to grow in my relationship with God so that I’ll be the best wife that I can be for my future husband ❤ Contentment is hard!! But it’ll be so worth it!! You’re making the right choice and I know God is so proud of you!

So nice to meet you and again, welcome!! 🥰
