I've honestly been struggling a lot with writing this story. I almost gave up because I've been put down and embarrassed so many times. But after reading your comments on my first story, and seeing all the encouraging messages telling me to keep going and have faith, something inside me shifted. I can't even remember when I first published HEARTLESS, and I've thought about deleting it from my profile so many times. But now, I'm really glad I didn't.
I used to ask myself, "Why am I writing if no one's reading? Why am I writing if no one appreciates it? Why am I writing only to be judged?"
I kept asking those questions over and over. Then, I came across this quote:
"Other people's opinions shouldn't dictate your choices. It's your life, not theirs. Do what makes you happy."
❤️❤️❤️
So, what did I do? I published all my ongoing stories. I followed what made me happy and wrote as much as I wanted. Now, I feel genuinely happy—actually, I'm thrilled—because I've accomplished something without worrying about what others think. I know I still make grammar mistakes, but I'm learning. Honestly, this whole journey has changed me, and I feel good about myself.
Before, I didn't even like reading, but now I've found a love for literature, science, and math. During quarantine, I even read through the whole dictionary! I've learned so much, and to all the aspiring writers out there (like me), I just want to say: don't give up. Finish what you've started, take your time, and don't pressure yourself. We can do this.
If someone is trying to pull you down, just know that I'm here, supporting you, always. We're all in this together—I promise.
Sincerely,
Odysscyy
Even if I don't have many reads, I still want to say: thank you for sticking with me.
Art Jake and Eliann Aces signing off. Catch you in my next story!
Keep going,
Don't lose hope,
And always stay happy.
Love youuuuu!
