i know this may sound small to some people, but as someone who genuinely loves writing and spends so much time building stories, scenes, and characters, little things can affect me more than i show.
earlier, i received a notification that someone added who knows to a reading list named “not even good,” and honestly, it hurt more than i expected.
i completely understand that not everyone will like the same kind of stories. we all have different tastes, and i respect that. some people prefer dark romance, fast pacing, heavy drama, or different writing styles, and that’s okay.
but as a small writer who is still trying to grow, improve, and find confidence in what i create, words like that can really affect my motivation and passion.
writing stories is not easy. sometimes i reread my own chapters wondering if readers are feeling the same emotions i felt while writing them. sometimes i overthink if the story is even good enough. so seeing something like that attached to something i worked hard on genuinely made me a little discouraged.
i’m still very thankful for everyone who reads, votes, comments, and stays with my stories. i read all of your comments quietly, and they help me more than you probably realize.
so if you ever make reading lists or public comments, i hope we can all be a little kinder with our words toward writers out there, especially smaller ones who are still learning and growing.
thank you for staying with who knows and for loving rosé and jungkook with me

@_pciyi_ baby, i want to say that i understand from where you're coming from, and how it's painful to realize that people can have such attitude to something that's a labor of our love. i can relate, and i hope you feel me hugging you from here. then, as someone who has been in this platform for a decade, publishing and unplishing many works, i want you to believe in yourself as much as you can, even if it's hard.... because if you do so, nobody - absolutely nobody can define how much something special for is worth or not. believe in yourself, believe that whatever you create and write is worthy of being out there!
