The Dilemma of Life.

My Story.

     What's good. My name is KJ, and I have to say some things. First of all, if you're even reading this because you liked my story, My Seaweed Brain, just know that it will never, ever be finished, so you shouldn't read it before you get attached.

     Secondly, that story was written by past me, who got attached to PJO because I had nothing better to do in my life. Just know that the words in that story aren't mine.

     Thirdly, even if for some reason you want My Seaweed Brain to continue, it won't. Ever. I'll allow someone to copy the beginning of my story and finish it, as long as they give me credit. (just comment on this if you want to, idk.)

     You may be asking, "why did you leave? You seemed so passionate!", or "who are you, and why did you get on the website just to leave?" Well, to those people, I was weird and insecure, unable to see confidence in myself, so I turned to this fictional world where I could do whatever I wanted.

     However, I couldn't just forget about the real world, and it turns out that the real world wasn't that bad. After being a backup CB in football for a while, with nothing to do, I finally became a starter after I put this real world down and decided to work on the thing I truly loved, which was football. Another thing was that, well, I grew up.

     It's not just the fact that I grew up, I also got a life. I had no prior reason to leave the house other than school and football, but now is different. I'm doing wrestling (it's November 30th currently while I'm writing this), I won my conference championships in football, and I'm doing basketball and baseball later.

     I also found friends that I could trust, after being the quiet kid for way too long. However, the absolute most important thing that happened to me was that I got a girlfriend. Now, I'm a senior in high school now, and I was barely a junior when I started writing this (college classes mess up your schedule).

     See, getting a girlfriend meant big things. I now had a life, and a reason to go outside and see people every day. Most importantly, instead of fantasizing about love, I had love. All of a sudden, I started to stray away from Wattpad, and I ended up just editing my About page and forgetting about this.

     I decided to check back up on this, and I saw my story hit 200 reads. Thanks, I guess. I just felt that if someone were to actually be wondering why I left, or why other people left, this could be the explanation that they needed. If you're STILL reading this, I hope you understand.

     I don't want to be your mom here, but if you're someone that uses Wattpad to escape from the life that you don't have, like I used to, use this chance to escape that. Go meet some people, try new things, make friends, make memories. If your grandkids ask you what your childhood was like, what will you tell them? "I read fanfic on Wattpad", or "I was winning championships in football." (in my case, but your life could be very different from mine). You only have one life, so I would much rather try and risk failing then not try, because hell, why not? I would 100% fail and have people laugh at me than not try and miss out, because most likely the people laughing don't have enough confidence to try themselves.

     I hope that this inspired you to go out there and make some goddamn memories, instead of sitting on Wattpad, which is what you were doing before you read this. Now, if you already had a life prior to reading this, then good job. Good job onn balancing that fine line between real life and fantasy. So, my life on this website may be finished, but my real life isn't over yet, and yours isn't either. I'm graduating later this year, and I'm just taking my last year in high school in, before the real world hits me. Go and take in your childhood before it's too late. You got this.

     One more thing before I go: if you ever feel scared, or you're lacking self-confidence to do something, just think of me. One of my favorite quotes is from Wayne Gretzky, a hockey player; "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Who gives a fuck if you mess up? Who gives a fuck if you get embarrassed? WHO CARES IF YOU FAIL. The people that laugh and judge you have no self confidence themselves, so they make other people feel bad to get some confidence. FUCK THEM. Go make mistakes, go do what YOU want, not what people expect you to. Go live your life, person on Wattpad. I believe in you. 

     I hope that you took something away from this random text on Wattpad, I really, really do. If you've read everything up to here, I have nothing else to say.

Thanks for listening, and have a good one.
