hello kak ceyie 🍊
i hope you’re doing well.

this might be a little out of the blue, and i hope it doesn’t come across as strange, but i just wanted to send this message with good intentions and a lot of appreciation.

i recently listened to a song called “miyazaki” by paris paloma, and there’s a part in the song that goes,
“i call into the void until i lose my voice, but sometimes a cry reverberates back.
i’d do it unpaid, unseen, unthanked. it’s worth more than anything that i have.”

hearing those words immediately made me think of you and people like you who keep writing and sharing their work without always knowing who’s reading or how it’s being received. continuing to put something out there again and again, even when it feels quiet, driven by that overwhelming need to create, even when it’s difficult or exhausting, or when it might feel like no one is really listening.
and yet, you still choose to share your world so selflessly, putting your heart into your work and offering it to others without expecting anything in return.

after hearing that, i just felt like i needed to say thank you. truly.

your stories have been a source of comfort for me in ways i didn’t expect. sometimes they feel like a quiet place i can return to when everything else feels a little too heavy. especially on days when i feel sad or overwhelmed, i find myself going back to your stories just to feel a little lighter, and somehow they always help.

there are also moments in your stories that stay with me, and sometimes i realize later that i’ve learned something from them without even noticing at first.

so thank you for continuing to create, even when it might be difficult or tiring. thank you for sharing your stories so freely, and for everything you’ve given through your writing. it truly means more than you probably realize.

i hope you’re always surrounded by good things, that you stay healthy, and that happiness finds you in the little moments too.

with love and appreciation, ꦥ꦳ꦃ 🩷
