Hey! Divya here. I hope you’re doing well—good, great, and everything in between.
Over the past few weeks I know I’ve been disappointing you with my irregular schedule and absences. Right now I’m facing a lot: family issues, academic pressure, and other problems I’m not ready to discuss. All of this has taken a toll on my physical and mental health; I’m trying to improve, but I feel stuck.
I truly respect your opinions and compliments, and I appreciate the time you spend on my profile. Still, messages calling my work a “TV-serial-like story” keep echoing in my head and add to the stress.
Since early April I’ve written—then deleted—seven goodbye letters while crying. Each time I thought of you and couldn’t send them; I don’t want to break your hearts in search of that kind of “peace.”
So, for the last time, I’m asking for a little space. I promise RT will be updated soon, but I need to step away and face the reality I’ve been avoiding since joining Wattpad. This decision is hard, yet necessary.
I’m asking for two weeks. I won’t waste this break. I’ll come back stronger, with extra chapters and a schedule I’ll do my best to follow.
For now, please understand: to escape reality I sleep all day, go to bed early, over-eat or skip meals. When I think about my studies I can’t meet my parents’ eyes. I’ve disabled Instagram because I don’t want to drown in endless scrolling.
If I start feeling better during this break, I’ll continue IR or SR sooner.
Thank you for your patience, love, and support. It means more to me than I can say.
