a month or two ago i chose to remove does your heart still remember me?––and for a few reasons, really.

1. a person can change so much within two years. when i first wrote the story in 2014, i was convinced that you needed to learn how to love yourself first before coming to love others wholeheartedly. this belief was essentially what inspired me to write does your heart still remember me?, but that has now changed. you don't need to love yourself in order to love others––i, for instance, do not love myelf and i don't think i will ever be able to love myself. however, that does not restrict me from loving others genuinely and oh-so-profoundly. and i'm confident that many others share the same sentiment as myself. 
2. when i read the story after two years, i cringed so hard––so hard. my writing's a little messy and some things just don't make sense. certain metaphors that i thought would work out really don't work out at all. and then there's the characterisation––god, the characterisation infuriates me. i particularly have problems with mark's character. i could have written him in a better manner and i guess you could say that i wish i wrote him to be a little more stronger––still fragile and broken, but still strong and sturdy. that's quite paradoxical and i guess you could say that i'm nitpicking at this point, but hey––just my thoughts as a writer.
3. i'm not into got7 anymore. or you could say––that i've migrated out of the kpop fandom and i'm now more inclined towards anime/manga/idol games/otoge.

however, despite my decision to remove does your heart still remember me?, i'm aware that there may be a small percentage of people who wish to still read it. i do feel quite iffy on this, but to cater to this audience, i will allow access to the google document i wrote the story in. now, while i don't mind sharing the link, i trust that none of you will try and download an offline copy (i've disabled this option to prevent this) or claim this story as your own––i'll be extremely upset and heartbroken if any of you do anything like that. please, please, please respect my decision on wanting to delete does your heart still remember me? from aff and don't betray my trust. that is all i ask of you. on the occasion that you see a copy of my story anywhere else outside of the google doc, please let me know immediately by messaging me here. and for the link to the doc itself––privately message me that you are interested in reading it (it would also be nice if you promise that you won't do anything that will upset me) and i will share the link with you.

p.s. if you're interested in other means of contacting me outside aff––like, if you want my twitter, tumblr or line––then you're free to privately message me for those as well!
