To be honest, I don't know where to start. I know that I'm not like a famous or incredible writer or artist to make this kind of message, but I also want to inform you guys. I want to inform my readers, who once motivated me to continue dreaming and writing, and who once made me feel that I'm good at what I'm doing and that, in the end, everything is going to pay off. In the end, everything is going to be worth it.
Writing became my hope. Not just in the middle of all the chaos in my head but also in my life in general. I once thought that writing would be my hope for a better future. To help my family and help myself prepare for my future. That will be my bridge to experiencing a lot of amazing things in life.
Well, somehow it did.
In writing, I felt free. It opened my mind to a lot of possibilities. It's incredible to think that someone like me was able to create different stories. My work is far from perfect, but until now, I couldn't imagine my younger self writing those novels. I'm so freaking proud of myself.
Now that I'm in my adult era (lol), a lot of things are happening around me. I didn't even have the chance to finish my supposed fifth novel. And I really can't see myself right now having the same passion that I had before.
Thank you to everyone who once believed in me. Who appreciated me as a writer, who liked my not-so-perfect work, who admires my dedication to this and who supported me throughout this incredible journey. Definitely, I wouldn't be able to come this far without you guys. I really appreciate everything.
Segens. That's how I call my readers. It's a German word that means blessing.
Have you ever experienced receiving compliments from strangers? Long, sweet messages from people you don't know? I did.
For now, I have to say goodbye to my fiction world, my imagination, as I have to focus on my reality, and then, let's see. Let's see if my pen will bleed again in the future.
See you in reality,
Leanesha
