Wattpad has felt very lackluster, for a very long time now. Whether it be of my own device or the website itself's, I neither know nor care. However, that is not to say that I don't love it anymore, as my very first transition into truly developing my love of writing.
That love, by the way, has not died. I admit, my motivation towards it has fallen dramatically, to a nearly depressing point, and it makes my love for it much more spontaneous, to the point that I crave it even against my own feelings. It is like an addiction, almost, and I am feeling quite the nasty withdrawal.
Whether I pick up my motivation or this site livens up, or hell, whether anyone even READS this, it won't stop me from posting here. I never joined for the reads, the popularity, or even the friends, who I now sustain over on Discord. I joined it because I have a love for creating worlds, characters, and ideas that speak who I really am, in a way that I could never truly say. And for that reason, whether it takes me a year, ten years, or my entire life, I will always write, and create for not only your enjoyment, but also my own.
I appreciate everyone's company and support, and hope that with this realization that I have on a constant basis, I can get back to writing regularly, to sate my aching needs.
On a lighter note, I start college in about two weeks, on the 26th. I'm pretty nervous, but boundlessly excited. If anyone has some insight or advice about that, it'd be much appreciated.
