#thank you so much aseel for making me tear up with so much softness and uwu

... Even though my last message contained a few words, it’s the truth and I’m happy it reached your heart. I’m a more of a silent reader but sometimes I just have to express my appreciation or else it’ll be kinda painful keeping it to myself lol. And yeah, word has power, I totally agree with you. now that I know why you write I just want you to know that I respect that a lot. I feel like it’s such a good motivation, and it’s touching and thoughtful. (1)

Let me also tell you that I’m not even exaggerating if I say that I check your blog almost every day or like 6 times a week (no pressure tho, don’t mind me:D) A lot of your stories have these kind of line that sticks with me, I even write some of it down so I won’t forget it. (2) Like I said, I like all of your stories, but Daffodil Rings is my favorite. It’s a masterpiece and so so satisfying and it’s coming from someone who doesn’t prefer soulmate stories but this one is wow, 10/10 for real. it’s also informative? The information about that flowers were interestingggggg I wanted to learn more =) I had the same reactions as Jimin while being schooled from oc :p (3) Since you wrote such an emotional and genuine reply I feel like it’s only fair if I wrote some of my mind for you as well. From now on I’ll make sure to leave more messages, my name is Aseel so you can know me when I leave one💛 (4)

Hi Aseel! Sorry I only got to respond now. I've been pretty busy and tired the previous days preparing for my tests. Yes, it's true. Keeping our appreciation to ourselves sometimes becomes painful that it becomes suffocating, (especially when you see that person you're appreciating going through a hard time) that you really need to let them out. I also feel this way because I'm also terrible sometimes in expressing my appreciation for others on a day-to-day basis. Not that I find it hard to say nice things but I'm constantly worrying if I'm coming off as smothering. That's why when I read such sweet comments like this, I feel relieved and validated like "it's okay to be like this," not just a writer but also as someone who loves to keep on going about praises and loving other people. Thank you so much for saying that my purpose and motivation in writing has touched you :"> This has always been my dream and I still can't believe I'm making a mark on other people's lives.

Also, thank you for looking out for my blog almost everyday. Aside from that's incredible, it's so touching someone is constantly waiting for me out there. Although I'm feeling half-guilty for not posting so much content, and at the same time terribly confused how I even got you to check on me time and time again when I just queue reblogs of my works from eons ago lmao 😂 On the side note, WHAT THE FUCK, I GOT YOU WRITING DOWN SOME OF MY WORKS?????!!!!! TBH I also do this whenever I read great books or fics. I write some of my favorite lines or dialogues in a cute little notebook that I bring with me usually everyday. So when I feel down or demotivated, but also tired to go and pick up something to read, I can retrace the wonderful moments I had when I read those books. It's like a mini-montage of memories I had from different worlds and it's so wonderful. SO I CANNOT BELIEVE I ALSO GOT TO BE LIKE THAT TOO TO YOU, ASEEL, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK, THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY HEART BURST WITH SO MUCH LOVE AHHHHH 😍😍😍

And ooh, thank you for loving Daffodil Rings! It's also one of my favorites! Coming from a writer who doesn't like strangers-to-lovers trope, Daffodil Rings was my first fic who had me stepping out a great deal from my comfort zone and do things I have never done before. It was like an ode to myself for learning how to try taking a risk in my life as Daffodil Rings!OC reflected a lot of my nuances in life and love. It was also the fic that had me writing for so long (it took me 2 whole months of summer, the second longest writing timeline I had next to Translucent Fireworks, which took me 6 months), probably because I had to struggle fixing the plot points again and again and trying not to sound like a current me berating my past me AHAHHAHAHHAHA. Writing Daffodil Rings was a wonderful journey. I'm glad you also enjoyed it. And even learned from it! God, I really loved that part I got to share with you hons my GIGANTIC nerdiness and weebness for floriography! I love language - orthographic structure, metaphorical ones, or visual ones, it doesn't matter!I So when I fell in love with the language of flowers, I know I've fallen in DEEP. It's just so nice to learn about things we usually take for granted, given that flowers are overused as an expression of love during first dates, weddings, anniversaries, and most often, Valentines' Days. I think it makes us love and value more what life offers us. And since I have such deep love for floriography, it is inevitable for me to share them. This is just me - I love something, I share that to everyone! I love it when my readers (and even non-readers), tell me they've learned something from me because aside from being a writer you can confide with, I also hope to help my readers, in some way, learn from the things I did, should have, or should have not done - which I write through many of my OCs.

Thank you so much, Aseel, for leaving such sweet messages and so much love. I don't think you know it, but you've helped me fulfill my dreams as a writer. You're definitely someone I'll never forget 😍💛💞
