Vaidehi - His Second chance [On Hold]

Message

Dear Wonderful Readers,

This message is something I've been thinking about for a long time, and it's not easy for me to write. I know many of you have been following and supporting me through my stories, and I appreciate every bit of love and encouragement you've shown. It has meant the world to me. However, after much reflection and struggle, I've come to a difficult decision that I need to share with you all.

As some of you may know, I'm currently in my final year of school, and I'm preparing for a highly competitive national-level exam. It's one of the most challenging phases of my life. Lately, I've been struggling to balance my studies with my passion for writing, and I've been feeling overwhelmed. I've always wanted to give my absolute best to everything I do, but recently, I've found myself unable to do justice to either my studies or my stories.

My half-yearly exam results came out more than a week ago, and I was honestly disappointed with my performance. Although I believe that grades don't define me or my worth, I also know that this is a crucial moment for my future. If I want to achieve my dreams, not just as a student but also as a future author, I need to make certain sacrifices. I've realized that my current approach isn't working, and it's affecting my mental health and well-being. The constant feeling of falling short in both areas has been really tough to deal with.

It's difficult to admit, but I've reached a point where I feel like I'm failing at everything. I'm not able to give my studies the focus they need, nor am I able to give my writing the attention and care it deserves. And this has been taking a toll on me—mentally, emotionally, and creatively. Writing is my passion, my escape, and something that brings me immense joy. But lately, instead of being the source of happiness it once was, it has become a source of stress because I'm constantly torn between my responsibilities and my love for storytelling.

Because of this, I've made the painful decision to take a break from Wattpad and from writing for now. I will be stepping away until April 2025 to focus fully on my studies and to give myself the chance to reset, recharge, and come back stronger. This means that my ongoing story, Vaidehi – His Second Chance, will be unpublished for the time being. I know that this news might be disappointing to many of you who have been eagerly following the journey of these characters, and I'm truly sorry for any disappointment this causes.

Trust me when I say this decision was not easy. I love this story and its characters deeply, maybe even more than you do as readers. They have a special place in my heart, and it breaks me to leave them hanging in the middle of their journey. But I have to be honest with myself and with all of you—right now, my attention is divided, and that's not fair to either my studies or my writing.

I know some of you may feel let down, and I completely understand if you're upset. But I hope you can also understand my side of things. This is a crucial time for me, and I need to focus on building the foundation for my future. If I don't give myself the chance to succeed now, I'll regret it later. And while I firmly believe that academic success isn't the only measure of one's potential, I also know that this is a stepping stone toward achieving the many dreams I hold dear, including my dream of being a published author one day.

I've thought long and hard about this, and I've come to the conclusion that stepping away from writing temporarily is the only way for me to clear my mind and focus on the goals I need to achieve in this moment. I don't want my future self to look back on this time with regret, wishing I had done things differently. I want to be able to say that I made the best decision for myself, even if it was a hard one.

But this is not goodbye. I promise you that I will be back in April 2025. When I return, it will be with a refreshed mind and renewed energy. I will pick up Vaidehi – His Second Chance right where I left off, and I will continue writing with the dedication, passion, and love that you and the story deserve. Not only that, but I'm excited to start new stories and bring more characters and adventures to life with the justice and care they deserve.

I also want to say that I truly hope to meet all of you again in my stories when I come back. For those of you who stay by my side during this break, your support means everything to me, and I'll be so grateful to continue this journey together. But for those who may drift away during this time, I'll be working hard to write stories that are so compelling, so full of life and emotion, that you won't be able to resist coming back. I'll write stories that call you back, that bring you back into this world we've built together. So even if we part ways for now, I'll make sure we meet again.

Please know that I'm incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm have kept me going even in my toughest moments. I know some of you are invested in the story, and I've always been so touched by how much it means to you. It's hard to leave it unfinished for now, but this break is something I need, not just for my studies, but also for my mental and emotional health. I owe it to myself to take this time, and I hope you'll understand and support me through this.

I'll be counting down the days until I can return, and when I do, I promise to pour all my energy into making the story even better. I can't wait to reconnect with you all, and I truly look forward to the day when I can start writing again with a clear mind and a full heart.

Until then, thank you for everything. I appreciate your patience, your understanding, and your unwavering support. This is a difficult goodbye, but it's only temporary, and I know that when I return, we'll continue this journey together.

With all my love and gratitude,
Your flawed Author
