Hello Trisha! Your message really warmed my heart. I can't believe the silly book I wrote in 2016 due to the love I have for Seventeen became your comfort. And to think that you still remember the feelings you had while reading it despite already working now, it's truly a privilege for me. This place is mostly empty nowadays, but I still lurk around. That's why your message is a nice surprise.
The era of Milk was truly a wonderful time. I'm honored to hear that it made your days brighter, as it was the same for me too. Reading everyone's comments and reactions while we all bonded with the same love for Seventeen is something I would forever treasure. That's why unpublishing it was a tough decision. I skimmed it and found a lot of questionable stuff which was funny for us back then due to our innocence, but is now considered problematic in essence. So sadly, the book has already run its course. We grew up and knew better now.
Right now, I'm unsure about my future plans for Milk, whether I will edit it or just leave it in my drafts. Despite that, I'm really happy that you are one of the few people who still remember it and want to relive it by wanting to read it again. I can't thank you enough.
My motivation to write these days is a bit nonexistent, but my love for seventeen is still there, so I'm trying to work it out. I miss the community we once had here. I appreciate you for congratulating me on my boards, and I'm also proud of you for growing up and stepping into the adult world. Life may be tough sometimes, but at least we still have seventeen as our resting place. Our only constant.
Will forever be on the rooftop :)
