you have just reached the end of anyone town! thank you so much for taking the time to read it! fun fact: this is actually the first long, published book/story/fanfic i've ever finished, so thank you for being a part of this milestone for me! everyone's comments lifted me up so much, motivated me, and helped me get better. i appreciate it all sosososo much!!!
now before i sign off this story, i wanted to leave a short message directed towards you to show my appreciation and also maybe shed some light! ♡
firstly, the lesson that i essentially wanted to show in this fanfic is that your most genuine self will always be the most honorable (HONOR) and respectable one. not any other persona that people always tell you you should be. even if you don't think so, it will be. nurture it and become it. and that genuiness and authenticity with shine toward others and inspire them to be brave like you in becoming themselves :D just like how zuko jumped into that fire, it takes a minute of bravery to make people see the authentic you, which is the most beautiful and remarkable you ♡
cliché as it may be, yeah, you could be book 3 zuko someday too. be brave :D you can do it!
after all, just as uncle iroh once said: life is like a long tunnel. sometimes you don't see the way out, but if you go on long enough, you'll see light.
