Hello dear author! I just wanted to say that I really love your stories, especially “Silent Echo of the Introvert.” I enjoyed that story so much because I’m actually from the place mentioned in it—Mountain Province. It honestly made me so happy because it’s the first time I’ve read a story that mentions the Cordillera, and even my own province.
I’m also not sure if the word “kasiyanna” in your story has a different meaning or if it was used as a name, but in our language, “kasiyanna” means something like “it’s okay, there will be a better tomorrow.” It’s a word we use to encourage or comfort someone. When a person is sad or going through something difficult, we say “kasiyanna” to remind them that things will get better.
And yes, haha, I really loved your story! Pirmi ay laylaydek din storym aynay tay gawi-gawis. ☺️ Thank you for writing such a beautiful story
