Love, Illinoisdewriter (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Ciao, everyone! (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡

Allow me to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for reading and supporting this story. In all honesty, this was my first try on romance genre because I am actually more on speculative fiction (fantasy, supernatural, and sci-fi). Just like how I always craft my stories, I also want this to become informative, and I really do hope that you have learned something from Julie Tearjerky (Eraserheads Series #2). It was always my dream and goal to write something under Queer Theory since the day I stumbled upon it in one of my Filipino Literature subjects in college (and Gender and Society as well). I want to prove that writing about the LGBTQ+ Community is not only limited to boy's love and girl's love because it actually encompasses a lot. It can tackle about one's gender and sexuality crisis, a tale of a modern family, and the struggles that come along with it. I felt like there's so much we still have not talked about sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression or simply SOGIE. I verily believe that it's about time that we showcase this kind of narrative to the audience through literature. I sounded like that of an advocate because this is actually one of things that I am highly advocating apart from mental health awareness and the environmental welfare. 

This story is truly something meaningful and irreplaceable for me as it helped me achieve my dreams and goals when it comes to writing. This will always have a special place in my heart, and I also hope that it did find its way to yours. ♡

For clarification, this is not the end yet. This is the start of something new — season 2. The Dimagiba-Buendia Family is now back in the Philippines. Witness as Julie's modern unconventional family try to fine-tune their lifestyle to try to fit in to their new neighborhood. Some are good, some are religious, while others are critical, skeptical, and incredulous towards gender and sexuality. 

The biggest thanks to GoodNovel for this opportunity of sharing this piece to the rightful audience. At first, I was really hesitant if I could find readers because I am still new to the platform and still journeying my way to familiarity. However, I felt already belonged as if I found my real place here in just a span of almost a month (this note was written in July 28, 2021, so that I wouldn't forget). Thank you so much for everything and God bless, everyone! ♡♡♡

PS. Leave your thoughts and messages in the comments. I would love to hear from you all. Thanks a lot! ♡
