Hey everyone, 
          	
          	I wanted to let you all know that I’ll be taking a little break from Wattpad and writing for a while. Lately, I’ve been dealing with some personal health stuff, and I’ve realized I need to slow down and focus on taking care of myself for a bit.
          	
          	I also want to spend more time offline with my partner and just be present in my real life for a while.
          	
          	Thank you for all the support, messages, reads, and love you’ve given me and my stories. Seriously, it means more than you know.
          	
          	This isn’t goodbye — just a pause. I’ll come back when I’m ready.
          	
          	— Theo

Hey! I'm not good with conversation so I'll say it straight. I love the way you make your books. I'm definitely following you. Good luck.

@theostrand I am making a book to see how I'm doing. The next one will be one I pour my whole heart into. I would like if you see them.

@bluemoonbg Hey! I appreciate the straightforwardness, honestly. Thank you for the kind words and for following along — it really means a lot that you enjoy the way I tell my stories.
            
            And no worries about being “bad at conversation.” You said what you wanted to say, and I’m really glad you did. Thanks for the support, and I hope you enjoy the stories that are still to come.

Quick update on The Boy in the Varsity Jacket:
          
          I tried my best to rewrite and improve the story, but I reached a point where I couldn’t make most chapters any better without starting completely from scratch.
          
          So instead of keeping it unpublished, I’ve decided to put the chapters back up as they are.
          
          It’s not perfect, but it still means a lot to me — and I want you to be able to read it.
          
          Thank you for your patience.

Hello Theo :) 
          
          Hope you're fine.
          As someone who doesnt express their emotions much, in a very vulnerable moment, i just wanted to reach out to you and let you know how much i have enjoyed reading the boy in the varsity jacket. It painted a world for me that i had no idea was possible. Where i come from, its difficult to find a partner as a gay man but it was such a beautiful joruney into a life i will perhaps never have but will always live through your story.
          
          So thank you, for wirting it :) loads of luck and good wishes to you.

@6moechaputida9 Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to send this message — it genuinely means a lot to me. Hearing that the story resonated with you and created a world you could step into is one of the most meaningful things a writer can hear.
            
            I’m really grateful you shared that with me, especially since you said you don’t usually express things like this. Messages like yours are a big part of why I write stories like The Boy in the Varsity Jacket.
            
            I truly hope that the kind of love and life you imagined through the story finds its way to you in your own reality too. You deserve that just as much as anyone.
            
            Thank you again for reading and for your kind words — they really made my day.
