Big or small, sometimes milestones feel like nothing. 
          	
          	Perhaps it's the tiredness of waiting. Perhaps it's that feeling of waiting and waiting, and when it arrives, it feels like nothing. Perhaps it's the lack of recognition. Perhaps it's not having anyone to celebrate with or anyone who would care. 
          	
          	It makes you realize that those you thought were genuine weren't genuine at all. It makes you realize how lonely you truly are at the end of the day. 
          	
          	Perhaps, there might be that one person who watches you succeed quietly. Their quiet support shines brighter than anything. But then you think, why not others? Why is that one person not enough? Why not more and more? 
          	
          	It becomes an endless cycle. That feeling of waiting, that feeling of achieving nothing, that one, quiet soul who might remember to congratulate you, that feeling of wanting more, and then you wait again. 
          	
          	Does that make one selfish? Or are they an exhausted soul whose only hope is that endless cycle they can't seem to let go of?
          	
          	What is the point of success if you only have your poor self to celebrate with? What happens when you feel drained and no longer interested in that success? Why do you look forward to the next success? Why do you wait with quiet hope that withers once it blooms?

If you are an author who only reads my story because you want me to read yours, stop reading it. 
          
          As I mentioned in an earlier announcement, I am not doing r4r anymore. However, some authors who read my story expect me to read theirs. Unfortunately, I cannot do that if it means you expect votes and comments in return for reading my story. It is a transaction at the end of the day, and I don't want to do that anymore. 
          
          Unless you are genuinely interested, do not read my story with the expectation that I will read yours.

@Gugikookoo Sometimes it isn't obvious, but it still happens. And yeah, there are so many controversies with Wattpad stories and it's hard to read nowadays

Hi readers!!! I hope you’re doing well.
          
          Thank you, Yaazhini, for giving me your space here. it truly means a lot. I just wanted to share that I’ve started writing my first story.
          
          It’s a slow burn with a touch of mystery and a lot of emotions. If that’s your kind of story, you can give it a try. I’d truly love to hear your thoughts if you do.

Three new parts of pages of a one sided love are finally out…♥️
          
          “He added her so I’d know”
          “The final break”
          “A promise to myself”
          
          This isn’t just an update… it’s a piece of my heart I finally had the courage to share.
          
          If you’ve been following this journey, you already know how much these chapters mean.
          If you haven’t… maybe this is where you start.
          
          Go read, feel it, and don’t forget to show some love ✨
          Your words mean everything to me.
