hi guysss!!! super random message lang. :')
i just want to take a moment to thank you all for the love and support you’ve given me and the Lavender Series. Naiiyak po ako habang sinusulat ’to because you genuinely have no idea how much this means to me. Hindi niyo alam kung ilang beses ko nang sinasabihan sina Mari at Florence kung gaano niyo sila kamahal. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Thank you so, so much sa lahat ng comments niyo!!! Honestly, they’re one of the biggest fuels that keep me writing. Every comment, every reaction, every message, every time someone tells me how much they love the story—it all gives me another reason to keep going. Kahit hindi man ako nakakapag-update every day, your support continues to give me the passion and motivation to write.
Dapat sa author’s note pa ’tong LSM ko eh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, pero since malapit na rin naman matapos ang story nina Mari at Florence, advance thank you muna sa inyong lahat. :’)

@istroberiminds super happy ako for you, author. you deserve all of it! sobrang thank you talaga sa gumawa ng fanart at pinost sa tiktok kasi doon ko nadiscover yung story mo. i love this kind of trope kasi i actually had a crush on a gay guy before, and sobrang bait talaga nila (kaya ang bilis kong mafall noon eh TT). and sobrang nain love talaga ako sa kwento nila marigold at florence. i'm always here to support you, author! more, more, more stories to come!!!!!

@istroberiminds I'm so happy for you authornim!! Road to 500 followers ka na!! You deserve every support, reads and votes since your story is incredibly well written. The way you use figurative languages never failed to amazed me. I just know that you will be famous someday. I was glad na nadaanan ko kayo sa fyp ko before. I was so glad na nagpabiktima ako sa line ni Mari nun na "I'll make banana smoothie". Actually, you're the very first author na ginawan ko ng fanart ang story. I love seeing you so happy like this! authornim I'll keep making fanarts and art contents for your stories. I'll try my best to give life to your lovely characters. Again, congratulations to 40k reads!!!

Thank you sa mga nagme-message sa board ko just to tell me how much you love the story. Thank you sa mga nag-iiwan ng comments kahit simpleng reaction lang. Thank you sa mga tahimik na nagbabasa. Thank you sa mga bumabalik. Thank you sa mga naghihintay.
Please know that every single one of those things matters to me.
Sobrang nagma-matter po sa akin ang comments niyo. Sometimes, I read them and think, "Wait... nagustuhan talaga nila ’to?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Especially because this was a story I almost gave up on.
Muntik nang maging standalone sina Mari at Florence.
Muntik nang hindi matuloy ang Lavender Series.
Muntik ko nang bitawan lahat.
Pero buti na lang talaga... hindi.
Because if I had stopped back then, I wouldn’t have met all of you now.
And I think that’s one of the most beautiful things about writing. Sometimes, you start a story thinking you’re simply creating something for yourself, and then somewhere along the way, you realize that there are people waiting for it, loving it, and finding a little piece of themselves in the characters you created.
You guys made Mari and Florence feel real to me in a way I never expected.
And I hope you know that you’ve also become a small but incredibly precious part of my journey as istroberiminds.
AYAN NA, NAG-LSM NA TALAGA AKO. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
But seriously—
thank you.
Thank you for reading my words.
Thank you for loving my characters.
Thank you for waiting for my updates.
Thank you for making a random story I almost abandoned reach 40,000 reads.
And most of all, thank you for making me feel like maybe, just maybe, I’m meant to keep telling stories.
Sobrang mahal ko kayo. :’)
Ingat kayo always, ttalgibabes! Lalo na ngayon na super maulan. Please stay dry, stay safe, and take care of yourselves, okay?
Mahal kayo ni Nins.
Mahal kayo ni istroberiminds nang sobra-sobra.
Thank you for growing with me.
And I hope you’ll stay for all the stories that are yet to come. <3
