Hey, you.

Before you dive into Reasons to Stay, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being here, for picking up this book, and for giving me a piece of your time.

This story is deeply personal to me. I wrote it very recently, and during one of the darkest periods of my life—a time when I wasn't sure if I'd even be here to see it finished, let alone share it with the world. Writing this book was my lifeline, my way of fighting through the overwhelming weight of everything I was feeling. Somehow, word by word, I made it to the other side.

And hey, guess what? I'm still here.

If you're reading this, maybe you've been in that dark place, too. Or maybe you're there right now. If so, I need you to know that you're not alone. This book isn't just a story—it's a piece of my heart, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there are reasons to stay.

It's a rough read at times, because life can be rough. But it has a happy ending, because I believe we all deserve one.

So, here it is—a piece of my soul on paper. I hope it speaks to you. I hope it makes you feel seen. And most of all, I hope it reminds you to keep holding on.

You matter.

Love always,
Rosy
