@TT--TT I'm really happy for you for finding your own path and for getting in tune with your feelings and needs without feeling like you have to fit a certain standard or a certain demand, i personally never expected you to stay the person you were 8 years ago because all of us grow up and change, not even us, your readers, are who we were when we first read your books. If i were to speak honestly, your works geniuenly marked a period of my life that was rather full of confusions, losses and a quite deep instability, and so i found refuge in them, i would read them in long summer nights while feeling the soft breeze getting into my room, i would read and reread every single description and dialogue you've written to try and depict it best through my imgination, i would read comments and laugh out loud at how funny everyone was, i would screenshot my favorite parts and send them to my best friend to discuss them with me. The reading felt like a whole ritual that would disconnect me from the chaos i would feel through the day and so i was looking forward to that alone time every evening, because only then could i get a moment of peace. Now that life passed on and everything has changed, i sometimes long to experience that peaceful feeling amidst the chaos once again, except that i could no longer have access to what used to keep me company at the time. Its not blame, its nostalgia, and i might not represent the majority of your readers, but i do believe many of us come from a place of nostalgia. I do hope to be able to read your works again someday, i think no matter how old i would get, i will always remember them, but until then (or probably never as you might decide to never reupload them again) i hope you keep thriving and im always thankful for you for being such a beautiful destinctive memory of my adolscence.
