I wish I could post pictures here, I want to show you what I got (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) I just earned my certificate on Masterpieces of World Literature by Harvard! I'll post it on my insta later so you can see it <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠> 
          	
          	I'll see if I can study another one, but right now I'm too focused on finishing the polished manuscript of DEM. I'm doing nothing but writing there days. My notebook looks like the ramblings of a drunken witch (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)
          	
          	To be completely transparent with you, trial and error has made me realize my limitations are unmoving walls. I've hit them multiple times trying to recreate what I considered to be "proper productivity". But no more. It frustrates me. But even if I don't like it, I have to accept that entering social media impacts my health. I do read everything you send me (I scroll down the notifications thingy on the phone so I don't have to enter the app), I care (I literally have screenshots of them, talk about them to my family, and they help me go through the day with a bit more energy), it's just too much, sometimes, to write back. It happens with everything, I'm stressed just from writing this long message. Earning that certificate took me a whole year because I couldn't bring myself to do it more than once a week, and it wasn't because I was lazy (which is what I thought and I beat myself over it multiple times), it was simply because my body can't keep up with the rhythm of life today.
          	
          	But don't worry about anything ୧⁠(⁠^⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠^⁠)⁠୨ I'll just have to accept that I'm one of those writers you see once every full moon ╮⁠(⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠)⁠╭  
          	
          	I'm writing, I'm healthy, I'm happy, and I'm going to go and write some more. Byeeeeee, I love youuuuuu (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

@shadowela  Sometimes, even doing a little feels so tiring and exhausting. Be kind to yourself—don’t strain yourself too much. A hobby is a hobby only as long as you enjoy it, not when you start forcing yourself to do it like a job. I myself have been feeling like I’m doing too much these days and need a little break, but you know, life goes on. This time will pass too.

@TeacookieSucker Thank you for asking (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡ You don't have to worry, doctor said I'm responding well to physiotherapy. I still have plenty more therapies and appointments to attend before my time is fully mine again, but I always make an effort to write <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠> I have so many things planned for my readers and I can't wait to show you. I'm your devoted writer, after all ♡

@shadowela No no, it is completely fine. Your health is very important than one chapter. No need to write when you are bedridden you need to take more care about yourself okay than think about doing other things. After this please walk more carefully in stairs.❤
            
            I love you too❤ Please take more care about yourself❤We are here to read your creative stories so I as a readers should patiently wait for it...I was just wondering why you didn't updated yet because of that I message to know if you are busy or something. ❤

@TeacookieSucker Hiiii, I'm sorry about today's chapter, I forgot to tell you. I've been struggling with back pain but last week it became unbearable so I had to be looked at by a doctor; I'm currently waiting until I can get my spine scanned. I promise I'll write even if I'm bedridden <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠> Hopefully, I'll have a chapter for next week. I do hope you forgive me, I know you look forward to these chapters (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ This is partly my fault, I thought ice was the only thing I needed after falling down the stairs (⁠ ⁠・ั⁠﹏⁠・ั⁠)
            
            Anyway, I love youuuuuu ♡ Thank you for writing me this message, I wouldn't have remembered what I forgot otherwise (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

So here, I'm back after a long time.
          Ela, I hope and wish that you are doing fine and shine. I just wanted to tell you that someone was impressed by your writing skills, which was not a surprise to me, because I knew the moment I suggested to her the story "WORDSHIP", I knew that she was gonna love it. She has sent you this "tell her to keep writing and I'm waiting for the next parts and tell her that I love her"
          Ohhh!!! You got another charmer, the pokemons are collecting now. ⊂⁠(⁠(⁠・⁠▽⁠・⁠)⁠)⁠⊃
          
          And we are also waiting for the story's next part every week like good luck, as for the commenting, I'm not getting the time so when I get the proper time I would leave the comments because seriously I miss writing the comments on your story, because why Would I not, you deserve those little motivation lines, you DESERVE it.(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
          
          And I read about you getting the HARVARD certificate!!!!!!!!! Many many congratulations our hardworking STAR(⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~
          
          All the best and bestest luck and love from us ✨

@love_urselfbts Thank you so much, this fills my heart with so much joy I could fly (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡ I love love love the comments and love love love my pokemons (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) Tell her I write every single day and keep writing even more ♡

@123Maggie456 Thank you so much for writing to me. I read this message as soon as you sent it, and it gave me the hugest smile the rest of the week ♡ Since I'm a full time writer, messages like this make the long lonely journey towards publishing enjoyable and sweet. I promise you'll read Democritus' second book, either here as a first draft or directly in a bookshop. Thank you for becoming a new star illuminating my path forward (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
