I haven't written anything in the last few months. I lost all my motivation to write anything about ishman because I thought in the end, this ship was gonna meet its tragic end and nothing was going to happen. I was ball deep into this fandom that time. I took all the hate, all the drama and everything, personally. And it was hard for me to continue that time because it was affecting my mental health. I couldn't tell how people hate ishman and how some random insta account throws hate towards two total strangers... So, I took everything personally and it made me frustrated with everything so, I stopped writing.
And during these off times, I came across so many other ships. Ships there was almost no hope to start with. Their characters were happily married with children but people still ship them.
It made me realise one thing, it wasn't about the ship becoming real or character living a life, what people assumed about them. It was never about it.
It's about how comfort it gives individuals. How did it teach someone to be what they are ? How great is it to have to look up to others ? How good is it to give words and create a story, which turns out to be a whole new world ? It's about how many great people you meet during this.
It's about the path, not destiny.
So, here I am. A few steps away from where I've been a couple of months ago, along the road with amazing people I met during this road.
And when I look from here, it doesn't matter if Ishman becomes a real couple or not. I just want them to be happy. Be whatever and whoever they want to be (the very thing this fandom taught me ).I'll always support them, just in my own way. I don't need to give clarification or prove others to how much I love them.
I do. I do love ishan and shubman and that's enough for me.
And other things , I might start writing again but just at my own pace.
