Hey everyone.

I'll go straight to the point. I am tired of people bullying me, calling me words that are not even worth repeating. I don't even like this book, the only reason it's still available on wattpad is because I wrote it when I was very young, it was one of my first writings.

I have stopped opening wattpad for months now, mainly because of personal reasons but also because of the bullying and hatred I have received on this book.

And you know where the issue arises? On my character's dress choice. Because my FC wears a scarf. I have to deal with so many Islamophobic comments and the funny thing is that even so called Muslims bully me for not defending my religion. There's a reason I put up a disclaimer in the start of the book, that I don't want people fighting on my book on topics like race and religion.

I am not preaching Islam here and I sure as hell don't need some Sakeena to teach me Islam. I am a practicing Muslim, I just refuse to write Islam in my books because of my lack of knowledge.

I am so tired of this shit. I have never received so much hatred ever since I started writing here and I don't know how to deal with it. People have been so supportive and loving towards me and my books, there have never been comments that make me want to cry, that make my heart hurt so much.

But it's happening now and it started recently. I mute all the stupid people but I can't keep doing this.

I don't get paid by you, you're reading my books for free so what gives you the right to bully me just because you don't like something here? I don't even want money for this book but I didn't break my back, bending over my computer to write 5000 words a chapter just to have some Karen curse me.

There are some serious Islamophobes reading my book and then there are some Muslims who are worse than those Islamophobes because they curse and abuse me for not defending my religion. Comments aside, I receive DMs filled with words like whore, slut and whatnot.

I was dealing with this stuff by deleting the comments before a debate started in my comment section, by muting people but there are so many people who are still attacking me.

You can call me rude all you want, you can call me stuck up by whatever image of mine you have conjured up in your head but I won't stand for bullying.

And at this point it's not even about religion anymore. I literally get cursed for not reviewing a book that someone sends me in DM. I don't have time to read your book and then review it. It's that simple. I don't owe it to you. Why do I deserve comments like stuck-up bitch for that?

Again, I don't even like this book, I never open it because I just don't like it. It's on wattpad for you guys, I am not saying that I am doing world a favor by having my book up here just that you respect my views, respect religions, races etc.

Please be kind.
