vince, hiatus.

Kung hindi ka pa galit, bakit?
          
          Anumang kulay ang tinindig ninyo, parte na sinalihan niyo, ang may sala ay dapat managot. Ito ay gulo na hindi dapat isinasantabi, ipagbubulag-bulagan, o ikatahimik—makialam, makisigaw, magalit ka dahil kalayaan at kinabukasan mo ang nakasalalay.
          
          Walang puwang dapat ang mga maharas, walang alam, at kurap sa pamahalaang ito. Hindi ka rin dapat umiidolo at sumasamba ng politikong kayang paikutin ang ulo mo. Hindi dapat ito tungkol sa kanila—tungkol ito sa bansa.
          
          Wakasan natin ang paghahari-harian nila. Ikaw, ako, tayo ang may kapangyarihan. Magluklok ng nararapat at maglilingkod sa bayan at bansa.
          
          Huwag kang pipikit. Tignan mo ang katotohanan.
          
          — Vincenzo.

in case no one has told you today—thank you for surviving this far. your efforts are always appreciated no matter how small or big it is. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

“Green is the color of hope” — Floryn, MLBB Hero.
          
          I started writing hurtful/angst-y plot at first because I believed that pain what makes me feel alive. Whenever I tried to pour this pain into words, I couldn't control myself... always ending up disassociating. Then, I found  that this isn't really my reason why I wrote those stories.
          
          Behind every pain that my characters suffered, there always was hope in the end.
          
          Because hurting the readers isn't my point—it's to show no matter how much weight weighting on your chest, it'll never linger.
          
          At first, color tells what mood my story gives but as it reaches the end, green will standout. It's the color that I use. I'll bring hope no matter how chaotic it can be.
          
          There's so much I want to tackle in my stories but with the limited time I have, I always wonder if I can bring them for you to read. But then, when time permits me, there'll be a sprout blooming in every scar.
          
          stay hopeful. always claim your zen in this cruel world.
          
          Full of hope,
          Vincenzo.

happy 20k reads, sunsets in ninth life!! 

Hello,
          
          For the meantime, I unpublished "Amidst the City Lights" to improve the whole manuscript. It'll be light editing, I promise. As I republish the chapters, Chapter 37 will also be available to read.
          
          To be honest, this story is almost half of me, part of it came from actual experience and became the element of the story. I'm going back and forth from writing it because it felt too personal and I'm having a hard time pushing what needs to be said. Zaine's experience wasn't easy to tackle and I'm getting emotional wrecks every time I try to read it.
          
          So please bear with me as I navigate their story again and when I'm ready to republish it again, I hope you read it with an open mind and careful.
          
          Thank you for staying and waiting for me. I'm always grateful to have you here.
          
          Sincerely, 
          Vincenzo.

Hello, it's been a while, isn't it?
          
          I'm still finding myself back from writing, I'm really having a hard time since I have so much in my plates right now. Totoo ang sinasabi nila na mabigat ang second semester ng third year kaya ngayon pa lang, I'm very sorry if I'm taking too much time to write the last chapter of Amidst the City Lights. Final blow na lang talaga pero marami pa sumabay.
          
          I really love writing, as much as I want to hear my voice but the situation is not really in it kaya nadedelay. I'm sorry for that, truly I am.
          
          I hope when the timing's right, makakabalik na ako. When the coast is clear, makakapagsulat na ulit ako ng another novel.
          
          And I'm always thankful for your patience.
          
          Sincerely,
          Vince.
