This is just so funny to me. If you asked 12 year old me if she would make it anywhere past 1,000 reads. If she would genuinely improve on writing and have so many plans for writing in the future... she would not have believed anyone, not even her now. ME!
I started writing on November 4th, 2022. Past the 2 year mark, and I'm on my third year. Surprisingly enough, I've never thought about quitting. I could never picture myself stopping, and the thought of not writing just... never sat right with me?
And I'm not even good at writing, I'm just doing the bare minimum. My schedule is nonexistent, and I just write and put out whatever, whenever. Which probably isn't typical for a wanna-be author, but y'know.
Now, I need to rewrite and edit the whole book SUPER BAD! However, that takes so long, and sometimes it takes longer to edit than to just rewrite the whole god damn thing! Lol! So, I've been putting it off, and ya'll seem to like the cringyness of my old writing anyway... since it's still being read? Somehow? Totally not judging.

Basically, I'm saying thank you. While I'll never understand how it's made it this far, and still climbing... Thanks a lot. It really keeps me going and reminds me that I can, and I WILL do this. Everything will come together, and nothing can or will stop me. Because this is my dream, this is just the start. It's like a practice run. The real thing hasn't even happened yet.
I appreciate your time and patience. It's not even a big deal, but it just means so much to me. Every little milestone, goal, and achievement is what tells me that I'm still growing. That there's so much room for more, and nothing actually can stop me because this is just what I was born to do.
Do me, I literally just have to do ME.
Do what I've always done, and what makes ME happy in this lifetime.
And I want all of you, everyone who reads this, whether it's now or later. To do you, whatever you wanna to, because it is possible. I've told myself this far too many times, and I struggle to listen to myself. But it's true, if you have a passion for something, but don't have the skill... You can still do it. It took me 2 years to be decent at writing, shit just takes time!
Wanna be an artist? Be a fucking artist!
Wanna be a superstar? Nice! Can't wait to see you up there someday!
Wanna explore space or create some crazy machinery? Great! I'd love to hear more about the beauty of space, and see what amazing creations you made on the news, or whatever the fuck it is you do!
The moral of the story is, just do whatever you fucking wanna do, and I'll take my own words and shove them into my head and LISTEN for once.
Because I'm right, aren't I?

Thank you for listening to my '16k reads' speech, can't wait to give another. I love you all. I'm laughing at myself right now. This is so unnecessary.
