From My Heart to Yours*

Before we go any further in this book, I want to take a moment to pause, breathe, and speak directly to you—yes, you, the one reading these words right now. Whether you stumbled on this story by chance, have been with me from the very first page, or picked it up out of curiosity, I want to say: thank you.

Thank you for giving your time to read something I created from the corners of my mind and pieces of my heart. Writing is often described as a lonely process—just a person, a screen, and their thoughts. But the truth is, writers don’t walk this road alone. We walk it with our readers. Every time you flip a page, react to a scene, smile at a line, or even get frustrated with a character—you remind me why I write.

There were moments when I wanted to give up. Times when the words wouldn’t come or the story didn’t make sense even to me. I sat staring at blank screens, filled with doubt, wondering if anyone even cared about what I had to say. And then… I’d get a message. A comment. A note saying, “I loved this,” or “This made me cry,” or even, “I can’t wait for the next chapter.” And suddenly, the silence in my head would break. Your encouragement lights a fire in me that no amount of self-doubt can put out.

You may not realize it, but you—the readers—are the fuel that keeps this story going. Without you, this book wouldn’t exist. Without your feedback, I wouldn’t know where to go, what to improve, or what moments truly connect. That’s why I ask from the bottom of my heart: leave your comments. Tell me what you loved, what you didn’t, what broke your heart, what made you laugh. Tell me what you want to see more of, or even less of. Your words matter. They shape this book as much as mine do.

Writing isn’t just about storytelling—it’s about connection. And through this book, I feel connected to you. Even if we’ve never met. Even if I don’t know your name. Even if you're reading this in silence. You are a part of this journey now. And I am grateful for you.

To every reader who waited patiently for a new chapter, to those who shared my story with others, to those who silently supported me by just showing up to read—thank you. I see you. I appreciate you. You are the reason this story is alive and breathing.

And if you’ve ever felt invisible or unimportant in life, I want you to know: not here. Not in these pages. You are seen. You are valued. And you are deeply, deeply appreciated.

There’s still more story to tell, but none of it will matter if it doesn’t reach someone’s heart. If it doesn’t mean something to you. So please, let me hear from you. Your support isn't just a number on a screen—it’s the heartbeat behind my words.

To my silent readers: even if you never comment, thank you for being here.

To my vocal readers: thank you for speaking life into this book.

To those just discovering this story: welcome. I hope it feels like home.

And to everyone who made it this far, who chose to read this chapter in particular—I hope you feel how genuine this message is. I can write a thousand more pages, but without your energy, your feedback, your presence, I would be writing into emptiness. So, thank you for being the reason I continue.

This story isn’t just mine—it’s ours now.

With all my heart,

[Gifted]
