I'm just another teenager whom has no fcking idea what to do with the life that was given to me. I draw a little, I write a little. I'm not exactly good at it, but who cares? I'm trying to express myself freely. 

**December 15th, 2025:**

I was such an angsty teen when I wrote that, and now at 26, I'm overjoyed to share that I'm happily married and the proud parent of a beautiful baby girl. I'm also raising my wonderful nephew, which adds even more joy to my life! 

I began my book ten years ago, and while life keeps me busy, I always find my way back to it. I'm reminded of my grandmother taking me to a "meet the author" event at the library. She knew how passionate I was about writing a book, and that experience actually inspired me to write "Promise?"

One author I met shared her journey-she spent 16 years crafting her book and would periodically step away to refine it, returning with fresh perspectives. Her encouraging words about perseverance resonated deeply with me; she reminded us that great things take time. Back then, I thought it was unbelievable to take so long for one book! Yet here I am, living her journey-constantly revisiting, revising, and refining.

With the start of the New Year approaching, I'm excited to declare that my resolution is to finish my book before 2026 wraps up! That means that I have about a year to get it done and published! I'm determined to complete it and hopefully get it officially published with your support before I hit that remarkable 16-year milestone. Let's make this dream a reality together! Thank you!
