This Is How It Feels - Comments

This almost describes my life a bit too accurately... I really connect with Jack and how he's feeling. Also, some of what you wrote really hit me hard... I've never connected with a fanfiction so much but damn.. This is amazing!

@ SignalFire
Aw thank you so much for your feedback!
I didn't really want it to be just a simple decision. I wanted to display his thought process and how he truly felt to make it more complex and give more depth to Jack's character so that it's not just him being really sad and that's all if that makes sense??? (It's late so I may just be talking out of my arse right now)

A second part is not completely out of the question, I suppose. However I will not say yes or no to it. If I say yes, I will never write it. If I say no, I won't write it. Just got to let it roll. If I get a good idea, then maybe.

Now that you mention, I was incredibly stupid to not put a trigger warning. I apologise, and I have put a trigger warning in the summary. Thank you for raising that point ^-^

Again, thank you thank you thank you! Hope you have a wonderful day.

This was beautifully written! It was so sad but I'm kinda torn about how I feel about the ending. On one hand, I like that it ended how it did (even though it was heartbreaking). I like that it didn't end with him getting to the cliff and then deciding he was going to be ok. It showed how deep his thoughts and feelings went. I loved what you chose for his last tweet.

Although, on the other hand, I kinda would have liked it if Alex had maybe have been able to talk him out of it and convinced him that he would be missed. That's just the optimist in me though. That part of me also wants Jack to have survived the jump and maybe his fight or flight instinct would kick in before he drowned and try to save himself by swimming. But hey, that's just me.

Regardless, I would love to see a second part, either with everyone dealing with the aftermath of what Jack did, particularly Alex, since he was on the way to Jack. Or, Jack recovering from what happened and trying to get help for it. I think a second chapter would be great either way.

Oh, and I'm not sure if this is something you've thought about but it might be a good idea to put a trigger warning in the summary. I didn't find it triggering but given the subject it deals with, it could be triggering to others. I know that you might feel it takes away from the story but just mentioning it includes mentions of suicide could help. It's up to you though.

You did a really great job with this and I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing!
