Hence this announcement which I write with utmost sincerity. I feel disappointed and frustrated with myself. While every now and then I would write some tidbits here and there, making minute progress, and if you know me and my writing, on some of my stories, I churn out chapters going past 5,000+ words—sometimes 14,000+ words! Something I pride myself in, frankly. I want to push myself to not only write long chapters, but entertaining chapters that can take you minutes, half an hour, or more to read, just to make you unwind, kick back, relax, and just tune out the world and the stressful, bothersome things. And if it makes you want to reread the entire story? I feel touched and glad that I could write a story that can make you feel that way. Wattpad exists for that reason, it has to and for me, that's what it's for. The world can be tough for everyone, not everyone is in the best of circumstances and sometimes we feel like running away. That's why stories exist, a form of escapism, to get away from all the stress, and, maybe, learn a lesson here and there. I never see myself doing big things, I'm not some influencer or rich philanthropist. I have my limitations. Even so, I feel like this is something I can do. This—writing—is more than just killing time, it's a passion. A passion I believe, I hope, can make whoever is out there, even for the briefest of moments, enjoy life. And isn't that something we all strive for? Something that brings, not only us but others joy? A way for all of us to connect? To find common ground in this world with entertainment? Where differences don't matter, problems can just be at the back of our minds, and we can just focus on one singular thing that gives us joy. (2/3)
