NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 53: Important
Good evening, everyone. How are you doing? I want to deeply thank each and every one of you for following my work. Your presence is essential for me to continue creating and sharing my stories.
The pen, once my ally, now feels like a burden in my hand. Words, once flowing like a river, turn into knots in my throat. With every stroke, I relive the silent battle we fought at home—the invisible war against the depression that imprisoned my mother.
I grew up amidst the chaos of emotional instability. The house was a maze of shifting moods, where joy was a rare guest and sadness, a permanent tenant. Motherhood, idealized in fairy tales, revealed itself to be a tortuous journey, marked by absences, fears, and the constant anguish of not knowing how to help.
Writing, my refuge, became a minefield. Each character, each plot, confronted me with the open wounds of my own story. How could I create a world of fantasy when reality was so raw and painful? How could I give voice to my characters when my own voice was lost in the echoes of mental illness?
Guilt, a persistent shadow, followed me at every step. Could I have done something differently? Could my words, my actions, or my lack of experience have worsened her condition? Self-criticism gnawed at my self-esteem, preventing me from moving forward.
But writing, like a phoenix, rises from the ashes. With every word written, a bit of pain is transformed into art. With every story told, a small victory is won over suffering. Writing is my therapy, my channel of expression, my silent cry to the world.
Writing for you is one of the greatest joys of my life. The connection we create through my stories is something very special to me.
I am going through an extremely difficult time. Health issues and an increasingly delicate financial situation have brought me to a critical point. The routine of writing, which has always been my refuge, has now become a constant struggle against anxiety and uncertainty.
