Everytime I re-read my works I couldn't help but cringe.

There was a time
          I stood at the edge of myself—
          not lost, but hollow,
          a soul unraveling in silence.
          I didn’t want to fight anymore,
          not because my heart was shattered,
          but because I didn’t know who I was without the cracks.
          I was broken—
          not in pieces,
          but in absence,
          like something essential had gone missing
          and left a ghost in its place.
          
          Then came you.
          You were safety wrapped in warmth,
          a quiet place I could breathe in.
          For a while,
          you made me feel whole again,
          as if your light could fill the empty spaces
          I was too tired to name.
          
          But comfort, it seems,
          is a visitor—
          soft in arrival,
          cruel in departure.
          And though you stayed for a while,
          the feeling faded
          like a dream I woke up too early from.
          Still, I remember
          what it was to feel safe
          even if it didn’t last.

Hey, everyone! Are you all still here? It feels like it's been days—maybe even weeks—since I last showed up, and I just wanted to check in. I know I’ve been quiet for a while, and trust me, it’s not because I’ve forgotten about you or the stories I’ve been working on. Life has just been keeping me on my toes, and I haven’t had the heart (or the time) to upload the drafts I’ve been holding onto.
          
          Right now, I finally have a little free time, but honestly? It’s still not enough. There’s so much I want to do, so much I want to share, but I need to be patient with myself—and I hope you guys can be patient with me too. I promise, I’ll be back as soon as I can, and when I do, I hope you’ll still be here, waiting.
          
          Take care, stay safe, and thank you so much for sticking around. You guys mean the world to me! See you soon!

@MidnightQuill011 Hey, Shanza. I hear you. And I feel every word you just wrote. Life has a way of weighing us down, pressing in from all sides, until even the simplest things—like breathing, like existing—feel exhausting. I can’t imagine how heavy it’s been for you, carrying all of that in spaces meant to feel safe.
            
            But please, don’t carry it alone. You’re not just a soul barely holding on—you’re a soul that matters. A soul that deserves kindness, rest, and moments of peace. I know it’s hard, but I hope, even in the smallest ways, you can find some light in the cracks of these overwhelming days. And when the weight feels unbearable, I hope you remember that you’re allowed to put it down, even if just for a moment.
            
            Take your time. Take care of yourself. And if you ever need a reminder that you’re not alone, I’m here. We’re here.
            
            With love,
            A heart that understands,
            Nari

@Nari_redrosess Hey, Nari. Yeah, it's been a while since I've written too, and honestly? Life’s been absolute hell. Mental breakdowns in school bathrooms, classrooms, home—basically anywhere with four walls—is my new routine. The weight of everything feels unbearable sometimes.
            
            I get you completely. Take all the time you need to breathe, to exist, to find your way back to writing when you're ready. No rush, no pressure—just you taking care of yourself first.
            
            With love,
            A soul barely holding on,
            Shanza

@MysticalStarwolf Oh, thank you so much!  And yeah, I’m really sorry for unpublishing my other books. The truth is, I kind of made a spur-of-the-moment decision to take them down. But I’m still planning to continue and republish them again soon! (and kind of busy right now, in the middle of thesis) 
            
            Honestly, I’ve been feeling a little unmotivated. There are quite a lot of reads, which makes me really happy, but there aren’t many votes or comments. And, you know, that’s what really motivates me—to see people engaging with the story. Even just a simple comment or a single vote means a lot because it shows me that people are actually enjoying what I write.
            
            And yeah, I still have small nmber of followers LOL, but that’s okay!  I know things like that take time. I just got a little discouraged, that’s all. But I still love writing, and I do plan to continue!
            
            Thank you again for your support—it seriously means so much!
