"Reflect on your... Childhood... Your sensation... your words... your emotions... Time, it will not wait... no matter how hard you hold on... it escapes you."

- Ultimecia, Final Fantasy VIII

"No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love."

- Sheeta, Laputa: Castle in the Sky

"And when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun."

- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture on the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more."

- Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.

On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

That's here. That's home. That's us."

- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Update: (February 2020)

Been a while, but I guess I can break a bit of the silence.

Just an update to say that in my pursuit to make original material, "Heaven of Your Heart" will be the final piece of fanfiction that I will be writing for the site.

Why not write any more stories for FanFiction? Well, to be honest, I am practically in my mid-20s and almost to my 30s, and I feel that I need to pursue other stuff beyond past fanfiction. So let's face it. It's about time that I moved on from this site, but I'm not going until I have finished "Heaven of Your Heart".

Another that plays into why I am moving forward from FanFiction is because my writing process after 2017 has started to slow down. It usually will now take me months or probably a single month to write a chapter because writer's block can be quite a terrible thing, even after checking out so many resources to fuel the inspiration.

In advance, I would like to thank every one of my fans and supporters who have read my material, and stuck with me since the beginning.
