Hello everyone,
          	
          	After a long deliberation, I have decided that starting from today, the story Until We Meet Again will be unpublished.
          	
          	I wrote the story when I was around 16 years old, and for a moment I was proud of that first story which took all of the courage I had in me to publish publicly. 
          	
          	As the years went by, I've learned many things on many subjects, and slowly, I came to the realization that Until We Meet Again no longer represents the beliefs that I've educated myself and continuously try to implement in my life. 
          	
          	I feel that it is not my place to write said story, as I have no direct experience of it except from the research I've done 7 years ago. Especially when the event which took place in the book have impacted so many lives. 
          	
          	I also grew fearful that it might give off wrong ideas - whether it is about romance and relationships, race and equality, war and prejudice - all the important subjects which the story revolves around, and which we should always strive to understand better and therefore grow positively from understanding it. 
          	
          	Please note that I also do this on my own free will, and that no one have forced or confronted me about it. All of the readers have been truly supportive and wonderful - everything a newly self-published wattpad writer who was still finding her courage and her passion (and still is) could ever ask for. 
          	
          	Also, I hope that none of the story's readers feels bad about having read and liked the story. It was my responsibility as the writer to think thoroughly about the message I was projecting before I published the story, and not yours. 
          	
          	To end this statement, I thank you once again for all the support you've shown me, and I apologize if I had caused any hard feelings from my writing.
          	
          	Thank you and have a nice day x.

WOW! 10K reads on Once Before, I am in tears!
          
          Thank you so much for everyone who have spent their precious time reading a creation of mine, which at the beginning I was (if I may be honest) so nervous about writing. I really do hope you enjoyed reading the story, and I am especially grateful for the reads, votes, and feedbacks!
          
          Have a great day everyone, and once again, thank you!

Hi i just read “Once Before” and it’s so different (in a good way!) from all the time traveling books/novella i’ve read. I was really invested in Clementine’s story and Corlis was such an interesting character too! As much as i hated how tragic the ending is (at least in my pov), it’s definitely realistic and ironically made me enjoy the book much better (perhaps i have a penchant for tragedy or sad endings lol?)! ❤️ Anyways, thank you for writing such a bittersweet and enjoyable story! Have a nice day!

@miserablemegan Hello, thank you so so much for your kind comment on Once Before! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading the story - hopefully as much as I enjoyed writing it - and thank you so much for understanding why I needed to end the story that way lol, and I hope you have a nice day as well! p.s. I'm so sorry I'm only replying to your message now, but it still means so so much to me! <3

Hello everyone!
          
          It has been almost a yesr since I posted here, and now here we are on New Years Eve!  First of all, happy holidays to all, and I hope we have a great year ahead of us.
          
          Second, I can proudly say that I have finished updating Once Before!  It was a labour of love, one year in the making, and I'm very proud of it ✨ I was actually hoping to reach 10k readers this year, but I came close enough so I'm equally thankful.
          
          For my readers, old and new, thank you immensely  reading your comments and seeing your votes really kept my spirits up! 
          
          I hope everyone enjoys themselves this holiday season, and I hope we see more of each other in 2022. 
          
          Love you all & Happy New Year

Hello everyone, gentle reminder that I've decided to edit Once Before in terms of the grammatical errors, and I'm also changing the tense, but the story will stay the same, so enjoy!

Hey everyone!
          I know I'm currently heavy editing Until We Meet Again (and taking my sweet, sweet time), but also... I'm thinking about editing Once Before as well?
          I've noticed several minor gramatical error now that its been a while since it was first published.
          Please let me know if you oppose the idea, thank you!

It is with great pleasure that I announce, I have finished The History of Us!
          
          The completed story is now published, and I would appreciate it if you'd give it a go and tell me what you think! I decided to post it all because I'm growing busy with my internship, and I feel that I owe all of you who read it, the full story without any further delay.
          
          So enjoy, and thank you for giving it a chance! Goodnight x

Happy New Year Eve everyone!
          
          I've just uploaded a new chapter for The History of Us, and also updated the cover of Once Before!
          I guess this will be the last time I'm writing an announcement in 2020, so I hope you all have a happy new year. It's been an undoubtedly challenging year, but alas everything must come to an end. Have fun, stay safe, and bless you all!

One Word : BRIDGERTON 
          
          The 2020 Netflix series have stollen MY HEART! Everything was near perfection - the characters and their story, the dresses and costumes (!!!), the time and place setting, and not to mention THE SONGS!
          
          I don't usually write film reviews/opinions here but for this one I can't help it, the time setting in Bridgerton (1813) is only a year different from Once Before (1812) and the fashion was dreamy and romantic as well. I definitely recommend the series for those Regency Era and Pride and Prejudice lover out there!
