You have reached the end of the story. Thank you so much for reading and loving Minsan, Madalas, and all of its flawed characters.

The purpose of this story is to spread awareness about mental health, suicide, and self-harm. Let's end the stigma of mental illness. Mental illness is real and serious and should never be used as a joke.

I wrote this story to simply spread awareness about mental health. Most importantly, talk about self-harm and depression. I know I lack knowledge about this certain subject and concern. I tried my best to research and educate myself about this matter, though I know that it's still not enough. I tried to pour out my emotions as well and ask people I know who also feel the same for this story to be worthy of creation and be published here. I would also like to apologize to some readers who I might have triggered while reading this story. I humbly apologize for bringing some pain back. I do appreciate some readers who have messaged me regarding that matter, and I appreciate that they decided to stop midway. Know that it's okay to not continue; your mental health matters to me. Thank you for trying; it's enough for me to understand.

Thank you! I hope I touched your heart with this piece of art that I created. I'm truly grateful to you for taking some time to read this. I hope I didn't disappoint you with the outcome. I know it lacked something or more in the writing techniques, and I'm truly sorry for that part, but I promise to improve my writing and give you a worthy story to read in the coming days! I'll strive to be better each time you read my stories. All's well that ends well.

To lyca, who encouraged me to write this...my constant other depress half whom I share my dark thoughts with...know that I'll always be here, like a candle light on your darkness. An umbrella on your rainy day. A coffee on your cup. And the list goes on but my ears and your problems do come along.



And just like Jaq and Sining,

I hope you find a reason to fall in love with being alive.
