Hello, dear readers ✨
          	
          	Some of you may know me from before, and some of you might just be finding me now. Either way — welcome. 
          	
          	I’ve grown a lot since I first started writing here. Back then, I poured my words with innocence and wide-eyed dreams. Today, I return with more heart, more lessons, and a deeper love for storytelling.
          	
          	From this moment on, I’ll be writing under the name Arlene C.E. ✍ A new pen name for a new chapter — but still the same soul behind the words.
          	
          	Thank you for staying, for reading, and for allowing my stories to be part of your world. I can’t wait to share more tales with you — ones that I hope will feel like warm conversations with an old friend.
          	
          	Here’s to the next chapter. ✨
          	
          	With love,
          	Arlene C.E.
