Hi guys, it's Sayorra just popping in like I've been doing for the last, I believe, two years. What I'm trying to say is that for the last two years, I have not been consistently writing or updating my stories as much as I was when I first joined Wattpad and I guess I can say there's a reason for doing that.
I know I'm not the only one speaking among the Billie fandom writers when I say that I have simply just grown up from this app and that is the reason why I have made the decision to not return.
I know that my audience had probably seen this coming because of the fact of how long I just haven't been writing and it was just evident with the way I always pop in and out. I sometimes just get this urge of wanting to write and coming with a bunch of new ideas, but then there's also this peace and comfortability within me knowing that I no longer look at this app as something that I want to do but something that's just nostalgia. I look at this app and look at the pieces that I've written and it's me in a completely different world, and I am simply not a part of that world anymore.
I was 14 when I wrote this book and when I was introduced to Wattpad and I would be lying if I said that I thought I would've blew up like this. Not only seeing my books being featured in TikTok's that have gone viral, but also getting the confirmation that Billie herself has read some of the books which was a little mind boggling, it is definitely a feeling that I sometimes miss but it is a feeling that I know needs to stay in the past.
For the last two years, I simply just stopped posting consistently because I was starting to realize that my audience was dwindling down, and I didn't like the idea of putting in a lot of work and putting in so much effort to come up with ideas and then actually type these ideas out and then edit and finally post just to not get that much traction.
And I know it hurts when you put in so much work into something and you don't see the reward in it, but then it ultimately reminded me that writing was never my passion to begin with. I simply just wrote a book of a girl that I was obsessed with and created an entire world out of it, but my passion isn't writing. This was simply just fun and now the real world has hit and I am able to be in a place where I can admit that this was a hobby and that I shouldn't treat it like a job because I don't owe anyone anything.
I am grateful for the experiences and I'm grateful for the people that I've met, but this is a farewell.
I know that I have multiple books that do not have endings and that are continuing on and I will be posting this message onto them as well.
Now, luckily, I don't think I have reached a point where I will remove all of my books, but to be completely honest, there will come a day where I am ready to just simply erase this part of my life.
All of that is to say that no, I am most likely never going to update a single one of my stories on this app again so please just refrain from asking because the answer will simply just be no.
No, I won't disappear from the app completely I will still be here just popping in like I always do. My private messages are always still open, but I'm going back to what I was before: just a reader and not a writer.
To my community, who has to stood by me for the last six years, I thank you for every single lesson that you have taught me,every single kind word that you have said to me and every single laugh that you have provided me. I will never forget you.
Thank you and Goodbye.
