Thank you!

First of all, I’d love to thank everyone for your support, not only everyone who comes and read my translations, but to the staff behind it, they didn’t want to be named, but those of you in discord already know who they are. And also to the community of translators, I feel amazed by the warm welcome they all gave me, and the encouraging words and support I’ve been receiving from them.

I want everyone to remember this is a community, and despite the different works we translate, edit or proofread, everyone tries to support each other. So always remember to thank a translator when you read some of their work, because behind them is not only their staff, but the whole community. And they at the same time, are supporting other translators.

I’m still new, one of the new faces in the community, but if you continue reading me, I’ll continue translating.

This was supposed to be a short message to be saved for the note before the next chapter, but might as well post it since it is something I kind of wanted to share with some of you.

The time I decided to start translating, exactly one month ago, was sort of a difficult time in my life. I was diagnosed with severe depression with suicidal thoughts a while ago, and I’ve been in treatment ever since.

My psychologist gave me this “task” not long ago and I was having trouble completing it.

I’m sure some of are probably familiar with how depression works, either by experiencing it or knowing someone suffering from it, so you can understand that it is sometimes a difficult “disease” to overcome by yourself. So, I thought of giving it a shot to that task by starting a blog and translating every day, so that it could become some sort of habit, and help me with that task I was given.

Right now, I can say that it really has helped me overcome many hurdles and made my life a lot better. To be honest I never really believed such a mundane task like sitting in my computer could serve as a tool to slowly move forward with my life. And the ones that made that happen were all of you. This past month I’ve made so much progress in beating up depression that in retrospective it seems silly how low I had fallen. Of course, I still have work to do, still going to my sessions every week, but I honestly cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me, even if you were not aware.

Some people will probably use this to ridicule or make fun, but I still wanted to thank you all, for being such great readers and keeping me wanting to translate, helping me finding joy in learning a new language, and above all, for allowing me to re-discover the happiness in many aspects of my life.

Thank you.

P.S. Chapters tomorrow, I had to say it since it kind of seems like a good bye message, but it is not. I’m going to bed now.
