Hey guys, long time no see. I don't know who will see this, but I just wanted to talk to yall! I haven't written in so long, it's no surprise if no one sees this! I wanted to talk about punctuation, if yall will humor me for a moment.
          
          Im sure everyone has probably seen "!?" and "?!" used in writing, but did you know there is a difference between the two?! Did you!?
          
          If you didn't, let me break it down.
          "!?" is used to draw attention to the person's raised tone.
          "?!" is used to draw attention to the person's question.
          Often times in writing, when trying to properly express tonality, punctuation has been used to indicate small differences. Situations where this is useful are times when characters are screaming, asking a redundant question, seem distressed, etc. This has been the more you know, with Matt.
          
          I do hope that everyone who ive met on this platform and who have read my stories are all doing well! Im not gonna make another hollow promise to write, I haven't had the energy for it in a while, but I hope that my avid readers (or the ones i used to have) know just how much you all mean to me. Until next time, yall.

Another friendly PSA with Matt, to those who have experienced traumatic childhood events, or know those who have.
          
          The worst part about going through traumatic childhood events, is that sometimes when you're healing you do things that hurt the people you love without realizing it. And that's a pain that can make it hard to keep healing, because of the deep guilt you feel.
          
          It can feel like you ended up becoming someone you didn't want to, but you need to remember that you're still healing! Healing from trauma forces us to face it and to face a potentially ugly part of ourselves. But that guilt you feel? That's a good thing!
          
          That guilt shows earnesty in your character, and shows that actions made out of mistake are just that, a mistake! Its okay to forgive yourself, it's okay to be mad, and it's okay to be sad about any loss you might have faced from your mistakes.
          
          Don't give up on your growth, I know it's hard, but the more you work on yourself, the brighter you make the world around you, and the better you will eventually feel. Keep going, it's worth that extra push! Don't give up, guys.

And now for another completely irregularly scheduled PSA by yours truly.
          
          Yall, I dont know about the rest of you, but I'm getting tired of disingenuous people. I'm tired of people thinking that lying and sparing your feelings is better than being honest. So many people nowadays don't seem to realize that by lying and pretending to care more than they clearly do is better for you, or pretending it is.
          
          The world we live in is already full of so much hate and problems, why make it worse? There's never a good reason to spare someone's feelings, yall. Be honest with them. By trying to spare their feelings, your creating a false sense of confidence in them and ripping it away when they inevitably learn the truth.
          
          This is especially prevalent in relationships, as people will lie to you and tell you the things they think you want to hear, instead of being honest with you and their feelings. The problems this creates in relationships only hurt the person more in the end. If you lie about how you feel then you won't truly be happy with that person, and they'll be able to sense that, maybe not right away but it becomes obvious over time, which can make the person who's feelings you were trying to spare overthink and feel worse about themselves.
          
          At the end of the day, it's always better to be honest. So don't try to spare other people's feelings, and don't let other people try to spare yours. Push for honesty, and always be honest. It may hurt for a time, but it will hurt way less than if those feelings were lied about for a long time.
          
          Be the change, yall, cause we can't keep going on like this.
          
          Have an amazing day, everyone!!

Hey everyone, long time no see! Sorry I haven't been active in forever, and that learning to breathe has been left on a hiatus, but 2023 was admittedly one of the worst years of my life for several reasons. I hope to get back to writing this year, and showing the love that learning to breathe has been missing for a moment! Happy belated new year to all of you, and let's make this year a good one yall!

Hey! I have a question for you, it will be incredible for me to translate your When World Collide Story in spanish, if you like i can do that abd publish it in my profile!

Thank you all for reading! Rain has just reached 100K reads, and it couldnt have happened without all you amazing people! Thank you!
          

Hey guys, just wanted to say a couple things! First off, HAPPY BELATED NEW YEARS!! Glad to ring in a new year with all yall, and I hope this year is everyone's best yet! Next! I am alive and kicking, I just never feel motivated to write until like, 1am, and with a job that usually has me up super early, that's not always an option. So, here's to hoping that the new year means more motivation and opportunities to write!
          
          Hope you're all well!

Hey guys, just another PSA from Matt. Life is really confusing at times, and often finds a way to push you between the rock and hard place of your mind and heart, where you're forced to choose between logic and love/passion. You'll probably feel too overwhelmed at first to even start thinking things through, but just remember that clarity and peace of mind will come, and you'll be able to make a decision that will combine both love and logic to bring you the best possible outcome. It's not always what we want, but it's sure to be what we need most.
