          	It's not really a main project. Just something I'm writing experimentally, so I can't promise anything about updates. I'm going into this one without a solid plan, no outline at all... It's just something I wanna write when I feel like it. :) 
          	
          	I have another story I'm focusing on and I planned to post sometime in May or June, but because I haven't had much time to continue writing since my parents' accident (things are a little better now), I've had to put that story on hold for a while.

I hate the social feed, ngl. And I would hate it more if Wattpad decided to add the activity feed for the books I read, my votes and comments on them. I just... don't feel comfortable about the idea that people can see every freaking single thing I do in this site. It feels, I don't know... Intrusive. 
          
          I don't care if this is an old feature that they just added back. Makes sense that my account's a decade old, but I've only been active here these past few years... My social anxiety just couldn't... can't... 
          
          Some people may like it, good for you. But at least give me an option to be able to keep my activities private.
          ╥﹏╥
          
          Also, also, about the activity feed for the comments and replies we leave in a book... wouldn't that be spoiling the story to our followers? -_-

Thank you to everyone who sent a message about my parents. My mother was already discharged and is recovering at home, while my father got out of the ICU and is still under observation here in the hospital. 
          I haven't really gone home since they were admitted on the 14th. Am I fine though? I'd be lying if I said I am. I've been overthinking since last night how I'm supposed to pay their hospital bills now. Healthcare system in this country is so fucked. 
          I keep telling myself that I should just be grateful that my parents are safe now, but I can't help but worry about something else. I'm barely holding it together, to be honest. Not even physically tired. I'm just emotionally drained, and I feel so guilty for feeling bad for myself. Gotta keep it together though. My family needs me to be steady more than ever. 
          
          Sorry for venting out here. 
          I miss just writing, reading and replying to comments here, but right now I can't really focus on anything else. I just wish for this challenge to be over soon.

@_reichii No need for sorry! Just focus on caring for yourself and your family ❤️ Everything else will still be there when things are better again

@High_Priestess_Elena Hi, Elena. Thank you. We were able to finally go home the other day, and my parents are now recovering. I'm just catching up with the lack of sleep, but yeah, I was also considering of cancelling our exchange for this month since I feel like my mind's still floating. :) Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

@_reichii It really is just such an awful situation :( Both with first the stress and worry about your parents, and then the financial stress on top it. Really not fair for it to be like that!
            
            Really hope you can manage some moments for some self-care through all of this ❤️
            
            Also (and I feel awkward for bringing it up when it's undoubtedly very far from your mind, but I also don't want to go over your head about this) I'm gonna suggest we cancel our fbe-exchange. You obviously have so much more important things to deal with ❤️

So... I haven't really been here for days because of a family emergency. My parents were in a vehicular accident, and we had to rush them to the hospital. When I posted my Valentine's short story on February 14, I was in fact in the hospital's admitting office, waiting and trying to distract myself from thinking unnecessary things. My parents are better now, though my father is still under observation here in the hospital. 
          
          Anyway, thank you to anyone who read my short one-shot story 'Boyfriend Up for Grabs'. I still haven't gotten the chance to reply to your comments but I saw them. I see that the ending of that one-shot made most of you wanting more of Jayden and Kenneth's story. Aren't they cute? They also made me giggle while writing them. Right now, I don't have enough time to continue writing their story, but gods, I also badly want to write Jayden and Kenneth's full story. 
          
          I'm still here in the hospital, btw, watching over my father, still trying to distract myself from overthinking stuff that would only add to my stress and anxiety. I'll try to reply to comments on my stories in a bit.

Hi, Rei!
          
          Just stopping by since now that I'm at the end of the Birthday Bash Awards, I'm going through all the prizes for all winners! I'm going through Imposter Syndrome for its awesome achievement of Runner-Up in the Best Poem category!
          
          One of the prizes for the runner-up position was a custom mini playlist made with songs that I feel are good to listen to while reading your work. I have created this playlist for the poem submitted, and I'll leave the link below. I hope you enjoy it!

          "Do you know the myth about standing in front of a mirror while holding a lit candle?"
          
          "What? Like Bloody Mary showing up in the mirror if you do that?"
          
          "Something similar, but instead of Bloody Mary appearing, the mirror would show you the face of your soulmate."
