hey. it’s been a second, hasn’t it?
it’s safe to say i basically abandoned this account. i was pretty young when i first got wattpad (i think 10 yrs old?) and as i got older i eventually switched to ao3. it had more high quality stories and more of the things i liked to read.
wattpad did a lot for me though. i got to meet some really cool people, and developed a passion for writing. most of the things i wrote, i was too nervous to publish (i have like 50 something drafts) and the things did get published....weren’t really that good lol. of course i didn’t realize it at the time, and apart of me is glad that i published things freely without thinking about them being cringy and whatnot, because it allowed me to experiment a lot with my writing without restricting myself too much.
my stories didn’t usually get a whole of reads, but im so grateful to the people who did read them. even just seeing a 100 reads on my ship book made me ecstatic as a kid, and having over 50 followers made my day. ill never forget the feeling i got when i saw my follower count go up to 50.
i don’t think ill ever use wattpad as much as i did back then. im about to start 10th grade and have been working harder on schoolwork. i still check wattpad occasionally just for the hell of it, but i probably won’t start being active anytime soon. maybe one day ill actually publish something again, but i doubt it. but who knows? maybe that could change.
this was a kinda long post, so i don’t really expect many people to get through it, but if anyone did read to the end, thanks. it means a lot to know there’s someone out there that took the time to read these paragraphs about a person they might not even remember interacting with.
i hope every one of you here is doing well, wherever you are.
this is galaxy, signing off :)
