And that's a wrap...
First of all, I have to get it out of the way that, yes, I have seen all the questions about a sequel. Unfortunately, I cannot make any promises. There are many things I'd want to do (and am doing) with these characters and this story, but I'm still not sure if a sequel is one of them. We'll just have to wait and see where my mind takes me. :)
Anyways, moving on... I'd just like to share something. This story began back in 2017 for me, in my head. And in 2018, I started writing it down, usually while sitting in class, with a pen, on paper, in this green notepad that's still lying around in my desk at my parents' house on the other side of the country. I tore out most of the pages when I found it, out of embarrassment, but that's beside the point. Back then, I could never find the books I wanted—where I found the relationships healthy, despite circumstances that might suggest otherwise—so I set out to create my own. And while the heart of it all remains the same, over time, it has become so much more. It's what helped me find my love for writing. These are my own emotions, my own thoughts and opinions, ones that I often couldn't express but found a way to make into something tangible through words. Yes, I've made music, I've made silly short films, I've painted, I've read, I've done so many things, but nothing has ever come so close to coming from the heart as this has. This version on Wattpad is still a rough draft complete with plenty of things I'm not proud of (I hadn't even planned to make it public! It feels as if I am standing bare in front of a whole crowd!), but for now, I am okay with that. It's, in a way, my own learning lesson—in writing and life. And it means the world to me to have just one person as a willing audience for these pieces of myself. :)
Corny ramblings aside, I'd like to say a thank you to everyone who stuck around. I am sincerely grateful to all of you, to each person who has given this a chance. I still remember some of the usernames who used to be here years ago, and also the new ones joining just now. It's a beautiful feeling, to see others appreciate something so close to my own heart.
Last thing! I might not frequent this platform that often anymore, but my notifications are on if anyone needs someone to talk to or someone to listen. Kindness and love are what the world is missing right now!
