idk where to even start or how to properly put into words everything running through my head right now. but more than anything, i just rly want to thank all of you.
thank you for loving the characters i created like they were real people worth knowing.
thank you for reading every chapter i poured pieces of myself into.
thank you for every comment, every reaction, every feedback, every little message that reminded me someone out there was listening to the story i wanted to tell.
& thank you for rooting for me--whether loudly in the comments or quietly from the sidelines.
i may not always see everyone, but i feel your support more than you know.
sometimes, it still feels unreal to me that something i once kept only in my head managed to reach other peoples hearts too. there were moments i doubted myself, doubted my writing, doubted if anyone would even care.
but you stayed.
you read.
you waited.
you loved them with me.
i dont think i'll ever fully be able to express how grateful i am for that.
i may still lurk around from time to time, maybe, even publish something whenever the feeling comes back to me.
but if im being honest, the driving force that once kept me writing--that desperate urge to create worlds i wanted people to see, read and experience--has slowly faded over time.
& somewhere along the way, writing stopped feeling like something that breathed life into me and started feeling painful to force out of myself.
i think thats the hardest part to admit.
bcos i loved this.
i loved creating stories, loved sharing pieces of my mind with all of you, loved watching these characters become something more through the people who read them.
but ive realized i cant keep pushing myself to create from a place that already feels exhausted.
this isnt a permanent goodbye. siguro, it's just me quietly stepping away for now.
pero regardless of what happens next, i want to thank you for letting my stories become a part of your lives, even just for a little while.

@pookiewikie take your time author, I hope you can find that spark to write once again. We'll still be here by then.
