Hi, it’s me again. 
          
          I’ve decided that I can't give up writing, so here I am, trying to find my words once more. I republished the Carpe Diem series along with a novelette, Why We Fear the Storm, which is currently my priority to finish. 
          
          This book is my way of rediscovering my writing voice because I feel drained after working on What Comes After the Rain (WCATR). The Carpe Diem series is on hold until I finish WWFTS. 
          
          To the people who still supported me and encouraged me to return to writing, even when I almost quit (special mention to Ate Hannah), thank you so much!

PLEASE READ IF YOU SUPPORT ME
          
          It's been a while since I last posted here on my message board. I'm not sure if I still have any followers to bid farewell to, but I believe that those of you who have been with me through thick and thin deserve to hear this.
          
          It's been five years since I returned from my hiatus. During that time, followers have come and go because I haven't been consistent in my writing. To those who have stayed, I truly don't know why you chose to stick around. (ang tatag n’yo) I am writing this because of you guys. You deserve to hear my goodbye.
          
          Honestly, I write when I feel like I need air to breathe, and my stories often reflect that. I stop writing when I can no longer express myself through words. However, last year was different. For those who have read The Silence Within, you may have some clue of what happened.
          
          Last year, I was clinically diagnosed with severe depression. All I felt was despair. I lost my passion for writing and creating art. I was barely living, and I found myself wanting to give up on the life I had fought so hard for. It has been a challenging year for me, and this account has been a testament to that. I have written countless drafts pleading for help. I have penned, published, and then unpublished letters filled with despair. I wrote about Rayne, unaware that her words and pleas were slowly becoming my own. I wanted to inspire through my words, but they only echoed my demons inside. It reached a point where I couldn't even recognize my own voice in what I wrote. 
          
          So, why am I sharing this with you now? I would like you to know that I am deleting this account. I want a fresh start. I feel like I can’t achieve that with this account because it constantly reminds me of how dark my thoughts were last year.
          
          I am reminded of how helpless I felt, and I know that deleting this account is my way to let go and move forward on that chapter.

@guardianlovers I would like to request that you do not delete your account because somehow, that's where you can still inspire other people. But I understand that's how you find healing yourself, kasi ganiyan din ang ginawa ko ng 7 years. We are in similar situation, I also took a long hiatus and now I'm trying to come back. I hope you heal too! I am not fully healed yet, but I am starting to face my own shadows now because I realized that it is a part of me. I learned that I must learn how to tame my demons rather than let them control me. I hope you could feel this strong energy too! But you have your own time. God bless you!

@guardianlovers I feel so sad reading this and unfortunate to hear where you’re going. Thank you for making good stories. I have read some of your work, especially Rayne’s. Thank you also for the times that you have supported my story, especially the time that I almost lost my composure in writing. Anyway, if this is what makes you start anew, then I’d say, “Until we meet again? ” BIG HUGGGGG! ❤️
