Hii, hope everyone is doing alright!
          	I wanted to come on here and quickly clarify my boundaries because it's something I've realized desperately required a reminder and also an update, so please bear with me:
          	
          	1. Writing is my private bubble that only a select few people in my private life know about, so I beg you to keep it that way. If you have any comments, or questions for me about my writing, then keep them on here— DO NOT bring them onto other platforms!
          	
          	2. Please refer from digging into my private life, following my friends, family members and even messaging people who once were or currently are a part of my life in one way or another— even if you have no malicious intent, it feels intrusive and highly uncomfortable... (This is also why I no longer have my socials linked, and never will again.)
          	
          	3. Please note that I am an adult, do not flirt or make inappropriate comments directed at me— ESPECIALLY if you are a minor, but even if you're not, please refrain from it as well. It's highly inappropriate.
          	
          	4. I do not feel comfortable befriending minors either, so I hope that can be respected. I hope it's clear that it's not something personal to the individuals asking, but rather a question of power imbalance due to the age difference and my personal discomfort around it because of that.
          	
          	5. Please stop asking me to promote your books, profiles, or social media platforms— I completely understand the struggle of being a smaller creator and there are a lot of super talented and underrated people on here, but please understand that if I do it for one person, then I need to do it for everyone in order to be fair. 
          	
          	Those are the currently most relevant boundaries I felt the need to clarify for now!
          	
          	Anyway, I sincerely want to thank everyone who has been so understanding and patient with me while I navigate my life emergencies. You've given me such grace during this difficult time, and I am incredibly grateful!
          	
          	Kind regards,
          	Sakuraflowah

@Timetoenjoy247 if I may be transparent for a second, I'm actually not doing well at all and that's why I've been absent for such a long time and not updating at all— I feel awful about it so I'm really sorry but also thanks for checking in and hope you're doing well!

@Tigers_Bunbun if you've filed an appeal then they'll get to you as soon as possible, I apologize for the wait, however, we have to give them grace as there are thousands upon thousands of Wattpad users. Once again, I'm not involved in this process so I can't do anything for you here besides telling you to file an appeal which you've done already ♡

Tigers_Bunbun

@SakuraFlowah I already filed an appeal but have not gotten any response..What bothersome is i would have agreed if it was violating any community Wattpad guildness but Its was harmless intro and an Oneshot..I don't know how to get my books back as I don't have any back up for them! Can you help me to get them restore on my A/C?

Today officially marks one year of me having long covid, I was really hoping it would be over by now yet here we are... 
          
          Also I am aware I've been really inactive lately, and I truly am sorry about that. I'm still doing everything in my power to prioritize my health, in addition to dealing with a multitude of really severe life emergencies, so I just haven't been in the right headspace to write. Though I sincerely want to thank everyone for how patient and kind you've all been towards me in spite of the long wait. 
          
          You're all incredible, take care of yourselves and hope you have a wonderful day!

            And in year 2022 ( half year)

@_luxar__ Hello, my apologies for not being active for quite a while now! I've been too caught up with my own doctor's appointments in addition to dealing with a multitude of quite severe life emergencies, so I just haven't been in the right head-space to write as of late...

Hi, I'm still having to prioritize my health so my updates are unfortunately really slow, I'm really sorry. On another note, I was recently interviewed so if you want to read it then you can find it here:

Hello Author-nim, I hope you're healthy and doing well. I was not really active on Wattpad these days and was not even getting any notification on the updates of Desiderium. I was really worried, but when I logged in I was really happy to find that you're still active. 
          I was wondering that the books you're unpublished, will you publish them later on again? Rest I'm really happy you're healthy and fine.
          ❤️❤️❤️

Timetoenjoy247

@SakuraFlowah I wish you had not unpublished any. There was nothing wrong with your stories. They were perfect as they were. I am truely sad that I never got to read them as you are one if my favourites. I really hope you will reconsider so we can continue to read your works while you recover. But I reapect your choice and hope I get to read them one day. All the best.

Hello, I'm unfortunately still dealing with a lot of health issues (hence my slow updating schedule nowadays), but thank you for your kind wishes! 
            
            I'm hoping to begin looking through them and maybe republishing some once I've finished going through and editing my currently published books, it's definitely gonna be a long process and a project for the future though so I can't give a more solid answer than that— my main focus right now is unfortunately just my own health.
            
            Hope you're doing well! ♡

You know Author-nim, I have noticed that you reply to every single comment which is very heart warming ♡
          
          As there are some authors on this platform,  who sometimes mistakingly or intentionally ignore there well wishers 
          
          This is not about everyone, but just my thoughts and experience.
          
          Luv u and take care! ♡

            Ugh I hate that we can't add emojis on the conversation board  ̄へ ̄(╥_╥)

@_luxar__ Of course, I love interacting with the community, everyone's always so nice! ♡ Naturally there are comments I unfortunately miss, its sort of hard to reply to every single one without fail, but I always set time aside to read through all the comments I get— I think many writers can agree that the comments are such a boost of encouragement and also helps us feel more motivated to keep on writing ♡ 
            
            Thank you so much for being so sweet, it means a lot to me!
            Take care ♡
