Please tell me I’m not the only one who literally finished writing 10 whole stories even though I only have like 2–3 active readers… and silent readers na hindi ko kilala pero mahal na mahal ko??
Kasi swear, every time may nadadagdag na isa — as in isang read lang sa story ko, automatic nagiging sunshine yung araw ko. ‘Yung tipong mapapahinto ako saglit, tititig sa screen, tapos iisipin ko: “Sino ka? Bakit ang bait mo? Bakit mo ‘to binabasa? Come here, let me hug you.”
I know my reads are small, my updates are messy, and my characters are probably living rent-free in my head more than sa inyo — but I still write. I still post. I still finish my stories. Kahit minsan feeling ko parang ako lang ang excited sa plot twists ko.
Pero that’s the thing… I don’t write because I have a huge audience.
I write because even the tiniest audience — yung dalawa, tatlo, o kahit silent reader lang makes my heart stupidly happy. Writing feels worth it because someone out there took a chance on my story, even for just a few minutes.
So if you’re reading this… thank you.
As in, genuinely thank you for being part of the tiny handful of people who make me want to keep going. Your single read, your quiet presence, your accidental click — they mean more to me than what you think.
Anyway, back to writing. I just needed to say that out loud (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
