Dear readers,

I'm sorry. I've been M.I.A for a couple of months now, I haven't been writing at all these past few months. I know that's not what you want from this book. An author who disappears and reappears time and again.

If I'm being honest, before I stopped I felt like I was losing interest. That scared me, writing had been all I ever loved. It gave me a way to say what I was feeling without having to say it directly. It was one of my only ways to disappear from the real world, and get lost in my own. So I started forcing myself to write.

The words felt wrong. They were blurry, they weren't genuine. Somehow by forcing myself to write I pushed myself further away. I didn't enjoy it anymore. So I stopped.

I took a step back and walked away. It's crazy but these past couple of months I've been getting to know myself. And focusing on my mental health. I've come clean about a lot of things.

And recently I remembered my stories. I see how people still read them, still vote, still comment. And I remembered the magic of reading and writing. It doesn't get old and it doesn't fade. My writing has made people smile, it's made people laugh, and it's made them cry.

And it happened. That spark and that joy I got from writing was back. It was like meeting an old friend, something Sunghoon from Enhypen said. I didn't understand that, I mean how could something you do feel like someone you knew?

But I get it. This is a message to anyone still interested in this book, anyone afraid that they're losing that spark. Don't force yourself. The harder you push yourself closer, the further you're pushing yourself away. Take a step back. Catch your breath, walk away. Come back when you're ready.

And I'm pleased to tell you that I'm ready now. I will be continuing to write this book from here on out. I'm not 100% sure when chapter 24 will be completed but I promise you it's coming.

If you're still here, thank you. Thank you for waiting, for staying.

I love you all.

Bye!
