hi everyone (or the few of you who end up seeing this)! writing and publishing this at 1:30am so please don't mind any errors! </3
it's ras aka -raslikeraspberry- or -xrasx- for anyone that has a hard time remembering me!
it's been so so so long and, for being so absent in the past 6 months, i apologise profusely. how has everyone been? hopefully, you all have been doing great! leave a message anywhere to me on this account within the next few weeks and i promise i'll respond! no more unread messages, i promise! i've missed all of you lots :DDD
of course as many of you may've seen, i've been logging on here and there from september until now. back around january of this year, i did post a story called flâneur fantasmagorique for a short period! currently, that story and bygone lamentations have been unpublished and i honestly don't plan on publishing any stories again.
i'm extremely thankful for all the kind people i've met and for anyone who gave a chance to any of my works including bl, ff, kam, udom, cessations, my true crime stuff (for the ogs who remember) & etc! it's been an honour!
to be frank, i'm very saddened to see that many of my close close friends here have been either on a very long hiatus or been inactive just as i have been :,(( i miss you all like no other. however, i'm fully aware that life happens and unfortunately, things sadly do come to an end at some point or another.
with that being said, i'm also super grateful to have met so many kind and genuinely talented authors and users here! there's a trillion other reasons i could cite but i'll keep this short!
i'm thinking about deactivating both of my accounts here on wattpad from about two weeks after i've published this. however, i'm almost 75% certain that i'll just end up keeping my accounts for the nostalgia. i just won't be active again. to everyone that i've promised repeatedly saying that i'd read your works at some point, i'm so so sorry that i wasn't able to keep my promises.
lately, not that it's an excuse of course but, my mental health has been on the decline because of personal reasons. some of them include school and my wonderful wisdom teeth who've decided that they must emerge NOW- ANYWAY overall, i have, in the past, mentioned some toxic behaviours and habits that i did either pick up myself from wattpad or have seen others exhibit.
i was active everyday on wattpad for almost 2 years, many of my long time wattpad friends have come and gone but i couldn't have been more grateful to even share a simple hello with so many others across the globe. it was exhausting after a while but it made me happy (and lowkey ruined my eyesight but that's another story). in general, out of the millions of users here, i still consider those that i did end up meeting as miracles.
OK- enough rambling, basically, wattpad just isn't for me anymore and i'll sincerely hope that you'll understand.
of course, this is just a simple goodbye message! as much as i'm making this seem dramatic or somewhat sad, i'll still be available through other mediums! if you would like to continue talking with me by chance, contact me through discord, pinterest, email, or my newly created youtube channel!

in conclusion, take care of yourselves whilst i'm gone, all of you! <3 drink plenty of water, exercise, eat good foods, prioritise self care, and get plenty of sleep!
last but certainly not least, i'm very saddened to say that for many of you, this will be our last interaction, but hopefully, someday our paths will cross again. for others, i hope that we'll be able to keep our friendship going!
⌦ au revoir mes amours, ras <3
