I remember how excited I am to write this when the plot of this story came into my head. I just really had to add this author's note to share what I'm feeling right now, I'm so sorry. Before, I always fantasized about being a famous writer that everybody looked up to. I had these thoughts in my mind on how much would I make if that happens. I thought I'm so in love with writing. But looking back with my perspective right now, I realized that it's not what I actually feel like. I'm a reader you know. Of course, before I fantasized about being a writer, I have read so many novels and works of literature. But I never really had the courage to continue writing consistently even though I'm fantasizing about being "that writer". This leads me to questions like do I really love writing? Or am I just in love with the thought of being a writer? I surely don't know the answer back then. That's why I struggle so much with this so-called writer's block. Only to realize that it's just an illusion. I was reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho just earlier. I just read the foreword but I feel like this is the right book for me. Before I wrote the prologue of this story, I was reading the first part of the book. Some lines in there struck me so hard as a writer that I probably wouldn't forget that feeling ever. This is why I had an epiphany and decided to write this and continue this story. I'm probably the only one reading this. But I want to continue writing as if my life depends on it. No matter how many readers I get, I'll make a noise and raise my voice to amplify those small voices that need to be heard. Writing and Psychology are the only things that can make my heart beats faster than what it normally is, and that's the conclusion that I made so I'll write while continuing to raise mental health awareness to everybody.
