Hello, I've come back from my break and will update soon <3 thanks for being patient.

Hi. I think this is the right time to announce that I want to take a small break from social media and writing and give time to myself, which I haven't been doing. I've prioritised writing over my mental and physical health and it isn't doing me any good. I'm exhausted from trying to balance everything out. Studies, internship, writing and soon interview preparations. I want a week or two long break without worrying about anything. I've been feeling drained, and just don't feel like getting things (that isn't my piled up college work) done. I'm tired of going back on my promises of posting when I haven't been able to write or finish a single wip. I took my own well-being for granted which resulted in a very big burnout.
          
          Finally, I have decided to go on a very small hiatus.
          
          I won't answer DMs after a couple hours but feel free to leave messages and I'll make sure to check them when I return. 
          
          I hope you all understand that this is the best for me. 
          
          Stay safe and sound, everyone. Love you 
          
          
          - ray

So it's nearly been a month since I started college and my schedule is now starting to get a little tight. And bcs I have a part-time job too it's almost impossible for me to find kthe time to write as often as I used to. In regard of this, I have decided that my current work ESIMY won't be updated weekly like I had initially planned but I'll be updating whenever I finish writing a new chapter. I hope this doesn't bring too much inconvenience >.<

I only wish for everything to go back to the way it used to be. I was so much happier.

I'm really so out of motivation these days it scares me. Because writing is the only thing I can express myself through the best and now I just feel like the spark is no more there. It could be a phase but it scares me nonetheless.

@HeavenWield hey, I'm sooo sorry like super sorry but I don't recognise you :( but thanks for such kind words, I really, really appreciate it! And I wouldn't say I've moved here but I'm like super nervous to go to ig with nothing to serve my followers with. I feel useless like that. I know I can't hide away forever but I'm trying my best I promise. And it's never about views votes or anything, I'm content with even 5-10 people are reading my stuff here, like, that's insane ksksks haha it's just me. Maybe I study my abilities too much and always end up finding flaws in it. Or maybe I've set the "good writing" bar so high in my head that even I can't reach em. Whichever it is, it's definitely messing with my brain and stopping me from writing further and just POST. But that doesn't matter, I'm working on myself and I hope to bring out new chapter soon. Thank you so much for your enormous support.
            
            wow I'll see myself out-

Hey Ray, 
            I know it’s difficult sometimes, but don’t measure yourself by the interactions (likes, comments, votes) you receive, they don’t define your talent. You’re amazing and as long as you like to write you should continue, don’t let losing motivation scare you because if you lose it you’ll eventually gain it back. Maybe you’ve been overworking yourself? Take care!  We used to talk on Insta but I think you moved here, either way, do your best and only focus on pleasing yourself!
