Months went by in a flash of an eye. The twins had officially finished school forever and were getting ready to travel that summer. Tom was getting ready for the Spider-Man Homecoming premiere and all of the family were accompanying him. The Brother's Trust charity that the boys ran were holding some competitions for fans and everything seemed perfect.

Essie, despite having a new agent called Kerry, hadn't received any work in those months but still attended auditions in hope for some. However, she was rather glad that she didn't have any work because of how fast her life was changing over the past few months. She hadn't really had much time to process it all and spend time with her family but this break has allowed her to do so. She was simply Essie Mulligan from Southern Ireland once again and it wasn't just Essie that was glad for her to be home a lot more.

Her parents were over the moon to have her back and even her grandparents couldn't get over the fact that their little grand baby was permanently back home on the farm mucking in like she used to do so. However not everyone was. Her fans had began to lose hope that she would return to the media and wanted nothing but a small tweet for them to know that she was okay, no one posted about her anymore, not Fra, not Prosper, not Harrison and not even Harry. It was like she had dropped off of the face of the earth and nobody knew about it.

Now, Essie loved the feeling of being free from the media and not feeling as if she had to post something online but she couldn't deny that she didn't miss it. Of course she did! What millennial wouldn't? There were days where she felt like caving in and going on a spamming splurge but soon talked herself out of it. She had realised from taking this break that she was in fact addicted to social media and her phone as well!

Yes, she used her phone to talk to family, to talk to Harry and her friends but other then that she didn't use it for much else. Not until today.

The feeling of typing in her password to Instagram was rather satisfying really but she knew it was only for the fact she was returning to a "regular" teen's life. It may have been satisfying but Essie did not get the high that she used to when completing this same action. Instead, she felt usual, like she was just noseying through some photographs yet owned by other people more so than herself.

Clicking onto her last post from February, she read through recent comments made by people begging to know when she would return. Some people believed she was dead from the lack of news on the girl. Others were not so nice but I shan't go into those because they do not matter.

Just as she went to scroll down her newsfeed a notification popped down that Harry had posted. Of course she wasn't going to miss the opportunity to see her man.

essiemulligan99: hello there... I have been away for a while and I welcome, anyone who has stayed, back to my messy account. I don't know about you but this break has meant the world to me. I felt like I was able to return my life back to normal. Now, I love each and everyone of you and your support is tremendous so I owe you this explanation.
1) I feel like people need to understand why am I am no longer the kindred spirit Anne Shirley Cuthbert. My former manager decided to take my life into her own hands and believed that I "could do better" and "no longer suited the role" and without talking with me (where I would have told her she was entirely wrong) she decided to cancel my return to the show which I had no idea about until the posters with Amybeth were released. (AB and I are cool, I love her, no hate for my boo please).

2) My life was taking a downward spiral. Yes I was happy. Yes I loved my life but deep down I was feeling like I was missing something. I was not eating as well I could have been because of my lack of time to do so. I was drifting from my family because I was never home. I missed my animals. I missed my friends and I missed myself. I missed being able to know who I was, what I was doing and having control. I didn't realised I had lost all of this until it got too far. Thankfully taking this break has meant I could reconnect with myself, my family and my life once more and I'm a now a fully happy bunny 🐇

3) I was addicted to social media and my phone. Logging onto them gave me a high. Posting pictures, comments and likes fed this high. I couldn't go a day without checking it all and it was aiding the fact that I was losing myself. Taking this break meant that I can now log back onto everything and not get a high when doing so, it has allowed me to balance my life properly and take back control. If you find this is happening to you, I would highly recommend this detox!

thank you all for being so patient, I can't wait to be back with y'all. I hope you guys understand everything that I have said and accept me back into your lives.
-e 🧡🧡
