Hello everyone! Thanksgiving is coming up (the US one anyway), and I have many things to be thankful for. I grew up with relative privilege and even in the times I didn't, my parents always made sure we didn't know. I have friends and family I love dearly. I'm healthier than I was last year. I weigh less than I did in high school. I've had an extreme amount of luck in my life to have the opportunity to travel internationally and the many opportunities I've had in my life so far. 

I'm not really a fan of the perception of Thanksgiving. It is based on inaccurate and racist depictions of history. However, I do like the idea of coming together to feast and appreciate the people and things we have in our lives. That part of the holiday is beautiful. 

So, while I would love to share a meal with all of you, that is unfortunately impossible for various reasons, but I can show how thankful and grateful I am for you. I can only shout out a handful amount of people, but just know, that if you support me and my work, I am so beyond grateful for you. Y'all have shown me your love and I think it's much overdue that I show you mine.

@ThePianoManiac :You were my first reader. You were the first person on Wattpad that I told about Birds of a Feather. Your early comments kept me writing and your friendship, especially in my early days. You are honestly one of the kindest people I've ever met and I deserve the entire world. 

@Marili_Cruz : I remember the first night you discovered my work and you messaged me telling me how much you loved Follower. I was pretty much in tears that night, because you shared the same passion for the story that I did. You are one of my best internet friends and I will always be here to support you. While I'm sure most of my followers come from you, if any of my followers (or anyone else) is reading, please go follower her. She deserves to get to 1K. 

You stick by your opinions and you have been through a lot of shit, but yet, you still persevere. You are so strong and I see your work improving every day. I know you will succeed in anything you set your mind to because of your determination and level head.

@AmazaynMissStylik : Your support means so much to me. You are always there to read and/or participate in my works/ projects. I can't express how much your participation means to me. But, considering we are the same age and both love BTS and One Direction lol, I feel a strong connection with you and I will always be there to support you and your work. You have shown me so much kindness thank you.

@jiminiepapi : You were the first writer I read that in turn followed me and read my work. I remember getting the notification that you followed me and my jaw literally dropped and I was just stunned that someone like you even glanced at my page. Your support means the world to me and even though we don't correspond all the time, whenever we do, you are literally the sweetest and funniest person. (Also, your announcements often have me either laughing my ass off or relating so hard it's ridiculous). 

@-parkjchim : I remember stumbling upon your smut book. And, I read the Yoongi smut you'd posted from Tumblr, and I was so blown away. I saved your book immediately and even though you didn't write that smut, I was so happy that I found it. Your comments often make my day and I still absolutely love your smut book. And, then, you started reading my work and your comments always make me incredibly happy and you are always so supportive whenever I post about going through a rough patch. I see your writing getting better and better and I can't stress enough how amazingly sweet and kind you are. Thank you.

Even if I didn't tag you, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you. If it weren't for all of you, I probably would've given up most of my fics months ago. Y'all have been so welcoming, kind, and wonderful. I'm incredibly lucky and I honestly don't deserve the amazing readers I have. 

Also, I'm not officially making this a tag or anything, but I think it would be nice if we could all shout out a few people on Wattpad that we are thankful for. Let's try to spread some positivity and love as this time of year is often stressful, despite being the holiday season. 

Thank you for supporting me and my work.

Love, 

Alyce
