My Silent Melodies ➵ [ my life 2015-16 ]

6/16/15 • Looking Back

I hate the feelings of sadness I get when I go through friends profiles on here and find all of my friends old accounts and when I check them I find they haven't been on in months and sometimes years. It just serves as a reminder that not everyone will stay around.

Everyone used to write, talk about writing, and share these stories in hopes we would get Wattpad Famous, and for various other reasons. And now most of them don't even think about Wattpad, let alone write, and it just makes me kinda sad to remember the community we used to have. I could tell them about my book and within minutes have loads of feedback from them. Granted now I write for a narrower audience but I kinda want to go back to feel that again.

I'm not saying I don't want what I have now, I actually prefer this over then. I just miss those connections you could say, the way Wattpad pulled us together once upon a time. Even now a lot of my friends don't write/update often if at all. Everyone's lives shifted and Wattpad isn't held to as high a priority as it was. Now konatalove and morbidEmpire are my two friends who constantly write despite having loads of work at times. (I love you two ^3^)

Everyone else seems to have, er, faded? They are busy a lot, I guess. Not many updates come out anymore. It's kinda sad because I like to read what friends are writing, ya know? Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking. I'm sure Kontalove remembers my first account well, since she was my first follower... My Union Jack converse profile picture and my terrible username, Ke1s101.

And my vampire books. Yup, vampire books. No they weren't like Twilight, I thought they where pretty cool. Though that was seventh grade. I could rewrite them now and they would be much better, and not to mention the love interest had a name that is now a dagger. I'll give you a hint, Cold.

Off topic, back then was nice. Granted we all where noobs at Wattpad and freaked out over each follower and vote, delving into a new world of connections that now only a few of us still navigate. The others have up and floated to the surface, not much wishing to continue the adventure. That's okay though, they all aren't meant for this.

We are the Wattpadians, and we are proud writers of fan fiction, adventure, romance, horror, Utopias and dystopian futures, tragedy, and anything else we like. And I hope we stay that way...
