"Hi, I'm Dark Matter. I've been creating stories on Wattpad for years, ever since I was a child, and I'm at a point where I can't help but admit it: it's not even close to worth it. Writing is a waste of time. It's a dead-end road where you keep pouring your heart and soul into something that never amounts to anything. I've spent years thinking that one day, it would all pay off, that my work would be recognized, that I'd finally create something that matters. But I'm done fooling myself.

The truth is, I've got nothing to show for it. No success. No audience. No recognition. I've been chasing a dream that's been slipping further and further away. Maybe I've never had any real talent. Maybe I've been wasting my time all these years, putting my energy into something that's never going to give me anything back. It feels like I've been shouting into an empty void, and it's hard to deny that all those hours, all that effort, has been a pointless exercise in self-delusion.

I'm tired of pretending that writing is some noble pursuit. It's not. It's a cruel joke. A dream that keeps you trapped in a cycle of disappointment, failure, and rejection. You convince yourself that the next story will be the one that changes everything, but it never does. And after a while, you start to wonder if maybe this whole thing was a mistake.

So, here's the hard truth: it's time to stop. I've wasted too many years of my life chasing something that's never going to happen. Maybe I'm just not cut out for it. Maybe I'm not as creative as I thought. I can't keep clinging to this idea that being a writer is worth it, because it isn't. It's not worth sacrificing everything for a dream that will never come true.

Get a job. Start a family. Build something real.
