Answered Submission
My dear girl, I, first of all, must express my sympathies, but please know that I don't mean it in a condescending or fake sort of way. I truly admire your spirit and resilience, and I honestly can say that I am in awe of you as a person. It cannot be easy whatsoever going through what you have been.
I think that the first step in others gaining acceptance of your conditions is for you to first come to terms with the pain and suffering that will be a constant part of your future and your life. I see that ever since you met with that cardiologist, you have been utterly torn up about it, and nowhere have you mentioned that you managed to get over it. So, if you're different from most other high school students, what if you go through much more than they do? You are the one who is all the better for it. They are still children, while you have aged beyond your years and have experienced things most adults in their 70s haven't. No matter what, you can't let this control you. If you do, it's game over for you. You need to learn to hold onto the reins of an angry, bucking bull. You can make this happen.
You will pass eventually. Don't let it tear you up if you don't graduate the same year that all your friends do. That doesn't matter. What matters most is that you manage to overcome this hurdle. Your life is absolutely precious. If you think suicide will solve anything, it won't. Trust me. If you care about the emotional trauma of your loved ones, then you cannot be serious about taking your own life. You are worth more than that, and you deserve more than that. I think you need to talk about your feelings of acceptance and uncertainty with those closest to you. It will help them stop grieving over you and start understanding that you still have your whole life to live. I believe in you. We are here for you if you need to talk to one of us again.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Holden Steele's Ruin [Completed]
What happens when brooding quarterback, Holden Steele, falls for a broken girl? *********All artistic eighteen-year-old, Savannah Raine, wanted when she joined university was a fresh start. A blank canvas that wasn't mired by the memory of her dead brother or her psychotic ex boyfriend. She had no intention of spattering paint on her otherwise bland love life. She didn't mean to get caught up in his cold grey eyes, but the heart was an unforseen organ and maybe her's craved pain.No one could blame her though, certain not the female population. You see, it's impossible to resist a bad boy that is a good man. Even harder when he came in the form of brooding quarterback, Holden Steele.For two years, he had been content with admiring her from afar, but when fate-or rather a cramped collage bathroom-brings them together, he's intent on making her his.
