Hi everyone,
I just want to take this moment to talk to you from the heart regarding my story, The Eldest Daughter. Writing has always been my safe space, my way of expressing myself and creating something meaningful that I can share with all of you. But at this point in my journey, I’ve come to a decision that might disappoint some, but I believe it’s necessary both for me and for the story.
Starting today, I will be temporarily unpublishing The Eldest Daughter, and it will stay on pause until around mid-September or possibly even until October. I want to clarify that this is not me giving up on the story, because I love it too much to ever let it go. Instead, this is me giving myself the time and space to finish writing the chapters properly, so that when I bring it back, I’ll be able to give you the kind of consistent updates you deserve—hopefully daily, without delays or gaps.

The truth is, I haven’t been able to write lately. Not because I’ve lost interest, but because life has been really overwhelming. I’m busy with so many personal responsibilities, and at the same time, I’m still fighting my own silent battles. I don’t always talk about it, but I’ve been struggling with my mental health, and it’s been difficult to focus or even find the energy to do the things I love. And I know forcing myself to write during this period won’t only affect me, but it will also affect the quality of the story that I want to offer to you.
That’s why I’ve decided that instead of giving you scattered and incomplete updates, it’s better if I pause now, take care of myself, and prepare everything properly so that when I return, I’ll be able to pour my full heart and energy into every chapter.
I want to take this chance as well to sincerely thank each and every one of you who has supported me and this story from the beginning. Every single read, every comment, every like, and every kind message has been such a huge source of strength and motivation for me. Honestly, your support means more than you could ever imagine. Knowing that there are people out there who look forward to my writing inspires me to keep going, even during the hardest days.
So please bear with me for now. This is not goodbye — just a pause. I promise I’ll come back stronger, with chapters that are worth the wait, and with the consistency that you all deserve. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and most importantly, for being here with me on this journey. I am truly grateful to have readers like you.
