Hello my dearest readers!

Welcome to my final author’s note and congratulations on reaching the end of “Smudges”! As with my other stories, this is a space where I will write my final thoughts and for those of you seeking some closure to this story, you will find it here but first of all, let me say some important things.

Thank you all so much for showing your support to this story! If you’re reading this now, it means you have subscribed it to the story, read it from beginning to end and been on this whirlwind ride with me. Some of you even leave comments and for that I am even more grateful, more than you can ever imagine. :') It’s been a pleasure writing this story, never a chore and I’m extremely thankful for all the support (even though sometimes I wish more of you would be more vocal about it ^^’’’)

I will also explain why Lydia and Johnny didn’t end up together in the story. As with every other chaptered story I’ve written since the start, I always try to incorporate some messages into my story; sometimes it’s just one, other times there are multiple messages for the readers to pick up. For this story, I hope you were able to pick up these messages. I initially had plans for the both of them to be together eventually but as the story progressed, my plans changed and this thought was further cemented by the main message of this story: “Pain is relevant. No matter how good a person may be to you now, it does not diminish the pain they’ve brough

Chapter 31: I BINGED. Oh damn wow. This was really good, I can see why you're proud of it. You know how much I love slice of life and the message you're putting across in this could not be more true - our past wounds may heal over time but the scars never fade away. And sometimes we have to come to terms with that, even if it's a painful reality to accept. Really enjoyed this one, Del! Hit me in the feelz

Chapter 31: I absolutely love this story and this is definitely one of the most well written fanfic i have ever read. I do really like the plot twist and the ending. At first i do hope that they would end up together but i guess it just isnt right for lydia to live on with the fear and the doubt she felt. This fanfic really get me thinking about life and i hope you will continue writing such beautiful fanfics.

Chapter 31: This is such a beautiful story. Huhuhu I know that Lydia will be happy if she didnt end up with johnny because johnny had hurt her in the past. It's a bit sad to she didnt end up with Johnny but that's their fate . but really this story is written very well author nim. Really love it

At first, I didn't like the fact that she decided to leave him after the precious time they had in HK. But slowly a thought came to my mind saying it's not right as well for her to be in a relationship where she doesn't feel right. And partially, it's really not fair for him as well to be in a relationship where his love is doubted, when he's obviously giving his all to her. Its funny how my thoughts immediately went to reality, wondering if someone, somewhere out there living a life exactly like this, did they choose to leave like she did? Or stay and break herself more and his heart along the away? I'll never know. But if I was to be her, I'd do the exact same. Because if two souls are meant to be together, they will always find their way back to each other no matter what. If not, you just have to learn to let go. No matter how hard it gets. If not for the other person, do it for yourself. The void in your soul doesn't always has to be filled with someone else's presence. Sometimes the void can only be filled with your own self. Someone wise once said, you can only love someone else fully, if you learn to love yourself first. Thank you for sticking to your original storyline. If it wasn't for the fact that you went along with this ending, I would've sworn, I'd forget that our feelings- what feels right to the heart and soul- matters the most if happiness is what you seek for in this often mistaken world.

Hai author-nim.
First of all I want to applaud your awesome writing. The way you write your story was really different from the fanfics that are available these days. It almost felt like I was back in my teenage days where I was awake in the middle of the night in my bedroom reading fics that would make me feel like someone was gripping my heart so tight, almost breaking it to pieces. And i didn't mind it at all. These type of fics were always my fav. It's was really an eyeopener and to be honest, just what this tired soul of mine longs for. I'm really glad I found Smudge. I haven't read something that made me look back in life for quite awhile now. Your story made me think alot.
