The Place Where It All Starts (Sitio Series #1)

Author's Note

I never wanted this message to be too long. I'm sorry,  I can't help it. Please bear with me.

Not the exact date but as far as I can remember I started writing way back when I was in Grade Six. I was so young back then; my writings were so cringey and vague—I just don't know now.

Anyways, it was never a smooth journey for me. There's a lot of times when I doubted myself if writing is really for me. There's a lot of times when I wrote a prologue but never finish a story. I stopped writing for years and now, just a few months ago, around July, my heart started to beat again for writing.

At first—the reason why I wrote this... I guess was just out of boredom and a little bit of thrill. I want to challenge myself to finished just even a ONE story since I want to prove something on my grade-six-self.

I didn't believe on myself back then. I stopped putting my thoughts into words—thinking that it will never be  a complete sentence. But look now, my grade-six-self, your thoughts were the one who complete the phrase; became a whole sentence, to paragraph, to chapters, to a whole story.

I still have a lot of rooms to open for improvement and growth. Believe me, every day I'm trying to open those door and discover what's inside. I still lack in many different ways and I want to learn those as days goes by.

But still... I want to congratulate myself for making it this far.

This story is dedicated for everyone who's reading this now. Thank you for starting my prologue and making it until the last chapter.

To Daenah, who constantly hyping me up everytime I have an update. I know you'll tease me about this (and kikiligin ka) but yeah, you are one of those people who motivates me to write a chapter and reach the epilogue.

To Jonaxx, who's the reason why I started writing and learned to love it.

To my twitter mutuals and co-authors who shows support since the start.

To my grade-six-self, who doesn't believe in her abilities. Hey dear, we made it!

Thank you, everyone. I wouldn't reach this far without all of you. I'm more than grateful.

I hope you learned something about this story. Always remember to be kind at all times. We never knew what someone is dealing to. A lot of people are still healing from the things they aren't sharing on us. Let us be their support and push them to continue living.

Also, this serves as a reminder that sometimes, in our darkest days, no one will be in our side. So be independent, be strong, held your head high, and stand up again to see the rainbow after the storm.

Again, thank you for walking with Levi & Hyacinth in their journey to their home. See you at the next stories and series.

There's still an epilogue after this. Stay safe everyone.

All the best,
A.
