Hey everyone❤️
First, I want to thank you all for your patience and for being here, even though I’ve been silent for a while. I’ve been away because, in these seven years since I started writing, since I was 15 and now as I approach 22, I never thought I’d lose my peace trying to please others. Writing used to be my refuge, but lately, people have been so mean, constantly tearing down what I put my heart into. I want to be clear: as much as I stay quiet and don’t engage, I am fully aware of the negativity. I see the harsh words, I read the bad reviews, and I know some of you have spoken up for me, which I appreciate so much. People need to stop with the negative energy. If you think you can do better, then go write your own work. There’s no need for hate, just support.
I’ve realized that, as a writer, I have to protect myself. If I sense genuine meanness, I will block you, and I don’t want to explain or justify that. Right now, writing is mental work, and I need that space to be full of good, supportive energy. If you’re toxic or negative, I have to cut that out because I believe that NO writer, who is trying her best to make her readers happy will thrive if they are negative. I’m in a better place now. I’m willing to write again, but slowly. I’m open to recommendations. If you have ideas or ways I can grow, I’m listening. I’m not saying I’ll change who I am, but if it helps me evolve, I’m here for that.
I just need time. I’m still healing, still gathering myself, but I’m okay. I will be writing again soon.
Thank you all for understanding. Let’s build good things together.
