Belated happy new year, everyone! ✨
I've been on hiatus for almost three years. It feels strange to be back after so long. The truth is, I stepped away from writing, not because I wanted to, but because life demanded it....

It took a long time to quiet those fears and find the courage to pick up a pen again. I started small, journaling my thoughts and feelings, experimenting with different forms of expression. I rediscovered the joy of writing for myself, without the pressure of expectations or the fear of judgment.
And then, after three years of rebuilding myself. The words started to flow again. The stories started to take shape. I realized that writing wasn't just a passion for me—it was a part of who I am. It's how I process the world, how I connect with others, and how I find meaning in my life. I'm not the same writer I was before. I'm stronger, wiser, and more resilient. I've learned that life is messy, unpredictable, and often painful. But I've also learned that it's beautiful, meaningful, and full of possibilities.
I'm not promising perfection. I'm not promising to always have the right words. But I am promising to be honest, authentic, and vulnerable. I'm promising to share my heart with you, through my stories.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and support. As a gift, I will slowly start updating new chapters for Wilted Constellations—one of my most read stories back on those days. I hope I will still have your support until the end. Thank you for being here. And always remember to be soft, always.
Softly, Ayi. ✨
