As I type the first chapter of the new fiction that I'm starting after my 6 month hiatus, around the middle of the chapter, I receive the news that my uncle (one that I was closest to) had passed away back in my home country. I walk to my mom to hug her. I am not close to my mother, and I think I will never be. But I just want to embrace her and tell her it's going to be okay. But what do you know, I ended up as the sobbing mess and not her. Mom told me that it was heart attack (plus weakened everything, he's already sick), and the part that really guts me is that it was my grandmother who firstly saw my uncle dead facing the floor. Right now, I just want to embrace my grandmother and tell her that we're here altogether for each other. I'm not a filial person, but in this time, you just gotta snap out of it and connect you know?

Huh, my uncle didn't even see me fully succeed in life.

Although I already know he believes in me, from the very beginning. That, I will never forget. Also the time, ages ago when he went with me to pick up my SHINee "Ring Ding Dong" album on a far place, and when he use to playfully sing LG Ice Cream Phone's Theme Song. He aint a perfect person, in fact he's pretty much messed up as well and I don't recall him doing such gargantuan matter for me. But I know that if ever he can tell me something, it will be something about never stopping to do what you are passionate about. And one of the things that I am passionate about is writing.

So, nope, I'm not going back to hiatus again. I will keep writing again. 2016 is really one of the harshest years for me, and for most of us here in this planet, and it aint even done yet. So yall hold on tight and hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
