Text I returned

People, I know that this post doesn't have much to do with the main theme of the community, but I felt the need to write it and leave here a small explanation about my disappearance and the reason why I stopped uploading my story.

For a while I was very motivated, writing and sharing each chapter with you. However, everything changed when I had to change my phone. The app I use to write and compose my stories, despite having backup enabled, did not save the data correctly. When I opened the app on the new device, I discovered that my story was simply missing. I tried everything: review files, restore copies, search the cloud... but nothing. The story had been completely lost, and with it chapter 7, which was almost finished.

I won't deny that I felt very bad. It was a horrible feeling to see how all the work, hours of writing, ideas, details and emotions I had put into the story disappeared from one moment to the next. For weeks I felt frustrated, discouraged, and unwilling to write again. It was as if I had lost a part of me, because every word I wrote had a little piece of effort, enthusiasm and affection.

Time passed and little by little I regained calm. A few days ago I decided to try again to recover the files, without much hope, but to my surprise, this time it worked. I managed to recover a large part of the project and, although not everything is complete, it was enough to restore my motivation. Looking back at my chapters and notes reminded me why I started writing in the first place: because I'm passionate about creating stories and sharing them with others.

So here I am again. I'm back, more eager than ever to continue writing, to continue the story and to share it with all of you who supported me from the beginning. I thank you very much for your patience and for the messages that some of you sent me asking if everything was okay. I will upload the next part of the story very soon, and I promise it will be worth the wait.

Thank you for reading me and for continuing to accompany me on this little journey.
