It will, for you.

The sun may hide behind veils of clouds, but has it ever stopped nurturing the world beneath? Everything may seem bottomless in the dark, but is there never a guide from the stars above?

And though the world may be cruel—and what once was makes you a fool—remember: The dawn will eventually return.

First is The World to Come, an absolute gem. Second, although an uncontinued series, 1899 holds a special place in the list. What truly draws me in is these talented actors as well as rivals in the series itself: Aneurin Barnard and Andreas Pietschmann. Lastly, I must include almost all of Studio Ghibli’s movies. Their tales to heal the inner child in all of us is just wonderful. All three are available on Netflix, anyway.

Beyond sweet. Goodness. Thank you. So, so much for the thoughtful gesture. Couldn’t be more honored to exist in your circle of attention, as it always meant a great deal to me knowing someone is appreciative of my creations.

Thank you, thank you. Really.

I will always allow you and everybody else into my DM. Purposely keeping it open for those who wants to share and express their gratitude/thoughts, hence you are more than welcome to press the follow button.

Also, I’m very sorry it’s taken me this long to respond. Let me know if the offer is still available? I’ll be waiting for your presence. :]

Yes. A hundred times yes. Never have I been so thankful to not be in dreamland at 3 in the morning. Show me, please.

Rest assured, I am well. Was merely indulging in some personal matter which you have nothing to worry about. No message given through my Retrospring has gone unnoticed or unappreciated. I read everything, always. And though your worries are endearing, please direct them towards yourself instead. May your days be filled with as much warmth as your heart extends, R.

Always the open book.

Ah, how could I ever thank you? Words hold power, they can not only forge connections but also nourish the souls that engage with them. I am grateful you chose to indulge in mine. May your days, too, be as gentle as your words. Much love.

Please, I'd be more than willing to give them a read. If you ever feel comfortable enough to share your piece, know that my arms and DM request are wide open for you to approach. Your writings will not fall upon deaf ears; I'm honoured—if not eager—to delve into the labyrinth of your thoughts. Also, I'm very sorry for the tardy response. Forgive me?

I never wish for anyone to feel reluctant to reach out to me. Your presence is not unwanted, rather cherished. I understand the past made you faced challenges and for some, losing something precious can make it harder to create. Nevertheless, you've taken the step to bravely reach out, admiring my works though anonymously. I appreciate it, I really do. Even your memory of the so-called deadly smokes, haha. And should you ever decide to return to writing, know that I will be here to support in every way I can.

Let's change that piece I might never read to a masterpiece I will skim through, yeah? Your words are as sweet as they come, simply thanking you wouldn't suffice. So, truly honored, sender. Wishing you better and sweeter days. Pats.

To flatter a self-proclaimed writer with bold praises is music to my ears. Thank you for reading. Still, don't go around getting 'smitten' or you might just go straight to my already inflated ego. [Kidding, I'm actually preening under your compliments] Day is made.

Feel free to speculate and assume. Please don't see yourself as a mere follower but a friend instead, part of my writing journey. Thank you for the heartwarming praise. Always grateful for the love.
