Ending this year with a blast! Happy 100K Reads to the last story I wrote, “His Ephemeral Signs”! Thank you guys so much for staying with me despite my shortcomings and my undeniably VEEEERRYYY long hiatus. I hope you enjoyed my stories, kahit na pangit ang writing style ko hehe.
As this year is about to come to an end, I just wanna say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me since the beginning. 2025 has been a real rollercoaster ride for me haha. I’ve met a lot of people this year (both good and bad ones). Lumandi ang ferson, na-scam ang ferson, first time nakapag-paanak ng ferson (during my nursing duty hehe skl), and I even became a Top PH Vale in Mobile Legends (and I’m still currently in the rankings) dahil sa sobrang ka-boring-an ko sa bahay HAHA!
At dahil sa sobrang daming ganap sa buhay ko, I somehow got lost on track when it came to writing stories on Wattpad. There were times when I tried to write again, pero pinanghinaan ako ng loob because I could really feel that my writing skills had become very rusty. Yung tipong nagkakaroon ako ng writer’s block at nauubusan lagi ng vocabulary tuwing nagsusulat. At some point, I even envied other authors because ang dami nang magagaling magsulat ngayon, and I felt like I wasn’t improving anymore as a writer.
But then, I suddenly remembered why I started writing stories here on Wattpad in the first place. I write because it became my comfort during my darkest days. Writing stories helped me get through my lonely days, my depression, and even changed me as a person, especially when I was already dealing with s**cidal thoughts. Because of my readers, I was able to free myself. Na kahit hindi ko kayo kilala, walang kahit sino man ang nagsalita ng masama kapag inilabas ko ang saloobin ko. And because of that, I became the person I am today.
I’m proud to say that I’m not as afraid as I was before when it comes to expressing myself. Ngayon, hindi na ako gaanong natatakot sa sasabihin ng ibang tao tungkol sa sarili ko... sa kaibahan ko. I was able to come out to some of my friends, and I’m truly grateful that I’m finally in the right circle now.
You see, I owe Wattpad a big one. I grew up with this app ever since I was still a silent reader back in Grade 6. And now, I’m already a 2nd-year nursing student. Dahil sa sobrang tagal mula noong huli akong nagsulat sa platform na ito, it felt like my mind as a writer somehow stopped along the way this year.
But now, I’m challenging myself to write again this 2026. I’m hoping na sana maibalik ko ang dating apoy na sumisiklab sa loob ko tuwing nagsusulat ako ng akda. Na sana bumalik ang excitement tuwing nagbubukas ako ng Wattpad app para magsulat.
And this will all start once again...
This 2026.
