Ask and Dare: The Big Eight [Being Edited]

What a day to be alive

Wow is this really happening? I can't actually believe I am back here. 2020 is getting wilder and wilder am I right?

Well hello to you all, its definitely been a hot second. I am sure you have noticed that from time to time I've been updating Power of Lightning book (you should defo check it out) but other than that, I dropped from the face of the earth.

Well I owe you an explanation.

So after 2018, I just kinda lost motivation for wattpad. I didn't have the same spark for it ya know. It use to get me all excited, but after that it was just not for me.

You all know I've been very much involved (if you didn't know that, surprise!) and since 2018 I've taken on a lot more, and I mean A LOT more. And guess what lads, I am turning 19 soon, crazy right?

I started wattpad as a 14 year old girl trapped in the real world of pain. What can I say, I needed an escape, so wattpad became just that. I made up a fake persona, made up a name for myself and a whole fake back story, because I needed to hide as much of myself as I possibly could.

Not only did I not want to risk someone finding and knowing me (this platform being full of strangers) but I was young and naive. I created this world around me, to impress people, because the real me was suffering in silence.

Of course I over came that, and became a strong young women leader for others in my country. Crazy stuff huh?

I guess as I grew older and more confident, I decided to move myself away from this world, because my reality started to take a better shape.

It was a shame because I felt like I was leaving behind a huge part of me. But its okay because people move on eventually.

I am also now in University studying journalism, and its crazy to see how my English and writing skills have evolved over the period of time being here on wattpad. Its quite weird.

So anyways, I am here now because I just felt a bit nostalgic at 4 am in the morning and decided to update this old dusty book. Maybe I'll even start editing it down. I still wanna keep it as a momentum of who I was.
