"To Those Who Stayed, Waited, and Believed..."
I want to apologize —
Not just for stopping the story,
But for the silence I've left behind.
I know you gave your time to every word,
You placed your heart in each character,
And walked beside me through every twist.
I know you didn't just see me as a writer —
You saw me as a friend.
But sometimes…
even the writer's heart becomes a sieve.
It's not easy to pour pain into words every day.
And I'm tired —
Tired of screaming through silence,
Tired of trying to be light for others
while I lose myself in the dark.
You deserved an ending.
You deserved a writer who kept going.
And today, I couldn't be that person —
That's what hurts me the most.
This story was mine — but it stopped being just mine.
You made it yours.
You lived in it, cried with it, lost something in it.
And now I'm leaving it incomplete.
I'm sorry —
If my silence felt like betrayal.
I'm sorry if it felt like I ran away from my own words.
Maybe one day, I'll come back.
Maybe I won't.
But if you ever saw your pain in my pages,
Then know this —
I will always be grateful to you.
Yours,
