Hello friends,
          	
          	Thank you to everyone who’s expressed concern for my well being as this account has been gathering cobwebs and dust for the last two years. I’m doing well. Surviving a PhD and life in general, I suppose.
          	
          	I hope you’re all well and in good health. 
          	
          	I won’t make any grand promises but I’ve been thinking of writing again. Maybe I’ll share my weird creations with you as I’ve always done with no promises that they’ll be worth the read. 
          	
          	Sincerely and with lots of love,
          	Yano

@Yano_Ism Well, after my master's, I did a part-time library degree last year, and now I work as an archivist in an organisation for music and stage heritage. It's a job with a lot of variety and chances to keep learning, and I have nice co-workers, so I'm very happy I ended up here.
          	  
          	  Of course <3.

@Yano_Ism I've been well! Managed to finish my master's thesis, mostly recovered from burn-out, finished writing SaaCR last year and got a nice job since June. So can't complain, really.
          	  
          	  I hope for you that life will calm down and be good to you, though I also selfishly hope to read more of your writing again. I've been reading more on Wattpad again recently, once I started focusing on enjoyment and stopped trying to leave "enough comments".

If We Exist is a masterpiece, the plot, the writing, the characters, the structure, the feel of the book, the point of views and how you explain them is just so special. Your book is truly a masterpiece bestest of books I've ever read. You are truly talented I hope you continue your writing <3

For all the brave readers still reading and rereading If We Exist, I love you. Thank you❤️! I wrote it during a weird time in my life. I wrote it from August to September over the course of 2 years. For me this story will always have autumn/fall feelings embedded in its sad, lonely, existential bones (what better season to reminds us of our brief but beautiful existence?) I love this story with all my might even when I sometimes cringe at certain passages (my writing has definitely matured). I cried writing it. I love the characters as if they were living, existing people. It gives me hope to imagine them truly existing out there in the world, perhaps finding a better ending than I could’ve give them. 
          
          I just wanted to thank you lovely reader for reading it, and honor the time and the courage it took to write it and share it with the world when I had no platform. I’m happy that these characters have found a home in your mind—that they continue to live in your imagination❤️

Friends, I really miss California, Brother. Hopefully, I get to work on it soon. I just reread chapter 8 and River’s and Eric dynamic smacked me in the face. I really miss them
          
          Please Don’t Die last chapter and then back to Cali, Bro!!
