Wasn't expecting to find this again, but as we say over here, "Chi non muore si rivede".
I remember this family, when it started, when someone first suggested "Let's make a family joint account" and we said "Nah" and then did it.
We shared the password on Wattpad DMs when those were still a thing a while ago.
I wish I could say I remember all of you, but in all honesty my memory sucks. I remember a few of you, and amongst those, there's only a few I could name. Then again, people change their usernames often, and I must be one of the few people to have stuck with the same for the past half decade </3
But I remember this family, and I rememeber loving you all. Even the ones I never interacted with. You were an important part of those years for me - considering I can now see I didn't have any real Irl friends back then - and I'll be forever glad for it.
Wattpad's changed in these years. It's begun to feel more lonely. And I think a part of it is that you aren't there anymore. Or maybe you are there, but I don't recognize you, and we don't talk as much as we used to. And that's fine. We're internet strangers who have played some role in each other's lives even if we might've never met in person. Hey, I'm not even on the same continent as most of you. If we ever crossed paths, I wouldn't know. But I'd still love you <3
I also want to say I'm sorry. If you've ever been up late at night thinking of cringe stuff you did years ago, you know how I feel sometimes when I think back to this time. Only that some stuff I did wasn't cringe, but also kinda messed up, because I was much younger, with no internet etiquette, no ability to read the room or socialize properly. Sorry if I've ever made you feel uncomfortable, and please forgive me: I truly did not know better.
But that's about it, I'd say. If you find this, I hope I made your day just a tad bit better than before. Remember, you will always be loved, and never be alone.
God bless you :) <3
