@Kanishka1209 Thank you so much for this comment. Truly. It is one of the most meaningful responses I have ever received as a writer. The time you took to understand, support, and be honest means more to me than I can put into words.
I completely understand what you saidāthat writers have their own lives and that asking for updates isnāt always right. But if Iām being honest, when there is no response at allāno comments, no reactionsāit does feel dejecting. It starts to feel like no one is interested and that all the effort and emotions poured into the story were in vain. That silence hurts more than people realise.
Your words mean more to me than I can ever express. Whenever I feel like giving up, I know Iāll come back to this comment and remind myself that there is still someone waiting, someone reading, someone who caresāand that alone is enough to keep me going. āØ
I donāt know why these stories arenāt reaching people, especially when these were the very stories that made me start writing and publishing in the first place. That honestly hurts, because they come from a very real place. At the same time, Iām deeply grateful for the love and support you all show on my other storiesāthe responses there mean the world to me. I only wish these stories were explored and felt the way they were meant to be.
I do want to make a humble request to all my readers. Writers may not always need update requests, but we deeply need responses. Even a simple commentāwhat you felt, liked, or took awayāgives us a reason to continue and reminds us that our stories are being felt, not just posted.
I donāt write for thousands of votes. I write to reach hearts, not to chase numbers. Still, I do hope these stories receive the engagement they truly deserve. Thank you, once again, for your kindness, your encouragement, and your belief. It means more than anything.
