Announcement— 07/31/2023

Dear readers, you might be wondering why I haven't been updating.

I wanted to update as much as I could, but I couldn't focus on writing since I've been going through a lot. My grandfather just died two days ago, in my arms. I don't know if I could've done something else, but he died due to heart failure. Right now, we're holding a wake for him, and I had to assist everyone as well as look after the wake from time to time.

I also had to be strong and put on a false bravado that I'm reliable enough. My aunt is having a hard time as well since she was there too when it happened, as well as my younger cousins. That's why I need to be strong. I only cry when I'm alone, and whenever I'm with them, I had to encourage them.

Honestly, I'm tired, I haven't had sleep for two days now, but I'm holding on. I need to be a pillar for them.

Once again, I can't stress how grateful I am for all of your support. Hopefully, I'll be back within the week. I'm going to update soon, please look forward to it. Slowly, I'll get through this.

Have a great read ahead. And I just want to give a gentle reminder of contacting your loved ones. Be it your parents, your siblings, your aunts, uncles, grandparents... contact them and express your presence to them. That gesture goes a long way :)
