Leaving wattpad & unpublishing my books. Not reposting anywhere.

@mochur4n IDK if you were still waiting for an answer, but i'm fed up with this platform. not to mention any time i start a new story i actually had inspiration for, no one read it. And the stories i wrote with no plot intended became popular, so then i was stressing about giving it a plot. Overall, just not really feeling it anymore, not to mention how busy life is becoming now that im older. I have less time to write stories I actually enjoy, and I've just lost my love of writing for others on here. I only write very rarely for myself now, but I hardly have the time, and I feel like I need to revamp my writing style. To me, it doesn't convey my message well, or come off quite right. Or I decide to do something goofy and unrealistic as a one off, and people prefer that over the works i'm actually proud of. Kinda sucks. Anyways, for anyone looking back on this conversation that feels like keeping any contact since this might very well be my last time on here, my discord is      .grayshade     I hate they took away the message feature on here :/

Just a reminder:
          1. I'm not dead
          2. I publish when I feel like it so I don't stress myself out over writing
          3. I am writing even if I'm not publishing. I have over 30 unpublished books in draft.
          
          Please be nice and don't spam update or ask me if a book is dropped. If it truly is, you will see it in the description or an announcement

@GrayShade I think that's a good thing! If you push yourself too hard you're just gonna end up making worse quality and physically/mentally straining yourself.

          insecure poems, confident aches; inspired decades yet everyday a death. stretching silences, concrete words; homes that melt and walls that echo. floating feet, rotten flowers; waves that pause in an ocean that seamlessly flows. 
          
          fluttering thoughts, fiddling feelings; coloured mouths and disappearing promises. hibernating lights and travelling darknesses; lingering lilacs and luminescent shadows. 
          
          minds of pearls, mouths of venom; do not lose by playing to their strengths. corridors of history, weaponsied love; transient nor malleable. fragile loneliness, screaming insecurities;  not every sunset has to be colourful. 
          
          sun of rain, thunders of frustration; mornings like amnesia, cloudless burdens. midday pride, repentance heavy; grief stricken victories, blackbird joys. mansions of footsteps, tears of dreams; we are all graves carrying the dying spark of life in us.

          mountains and decorators, exhaustion and evil eye; surviving bones and careless finds. funeral floods and tumbling sorrows; forests and bridges of laughters and morals. feelings migrated, clouds and dresses; that which rains does not always bring about harvest. 
          
          clocks of manners, a road of residences; hearts like maples marked along fences. pictures of politeness, smiles like wounds; world a death of another, burial grounds like jasmine blooms. 
          
          mornings of questions, blurred evening attempts; youth of trial and error, life a honeycomb aged. dreams of wounds, dreams like a father's disappointment; storms like swaying birth, storms sometimes like corpses of discipline.  
          
          disassociated honour, ribbed filters; what binds is not glue, rather, mutual respect. eastern wind and crepuscular billows; howling books and silent words. the majesticness of months yet the solemnity of years; to the hearts that wriggle with pain, silence is delicate, thin ice-like elegance.

I don't know what to do. I want to update & write. I want to cook. I want to play games and read. I want to hang out with friends. I even have the time to now, so why am I so tired? It's like I could sleep forever if I wanted to. There's so much I could be doing, yet I'm just sitting here. Sleeping when I can & hiding in the stories I read when I'm awake. Maybe I just have trouble acknowledging reality? I have more books in draft than I do published & more published than I actually like. I think it's a little extreme to call it writers block now.

Not related to my books, so please don't get your hopes up for an update just yet. I'm not dead though, just busy with work & school. 
          
          Man. I'm really sad rn. I've been trying for the past ten minutes to find a childhood friend of mine after I finally found my old yearbook & found their last name. (Ik it can sound kinda creepy, but I just really wanna apologize to them! ) on the day he became home-schooled (which I didn't know till 3 days later-)  we got into a fight because of something stupid I started! I found one thing about them (possibly) and I can't even tell if it's him. I just really wanna see them even if it's just to apologize over something stupid, and I've been hung up on this for years now! What should I do?

          blistering hope and disrupted forces, stomach of dirt and howling cresses; scraping blossoms and sunken springs. hollowed harvests, assaulted reaps; jeopardised desires and slivering skies. 
          
          mismatched woods and stolen petals; metaphorical gentleness and articulated coherence. dripping hearts, compendium ashes; ornate gale, weathered pages. 
          
          vintage eyes and handwritten libraries, fictional moon and escaped fantasies. inspiring nostalgia, doubtful guqin; poisonous inquiry, burial of heaven. vulnerability guarded, vindictive portraits; a monster of human needs, a devil of emotions. 
          
          brush-wood sprains and sinister autumns; stubborn walls and bittersweet burns. fluid memories, flamed nerves; familiar souvenirs,  a winter fued. a sadness of sharpness, bitter home in throat; caress the storms just as sadness has caressed tired norms.

a small token of kindness [ 28th january 2023 ] 
          
          heart that loves waters of wrinkles, a grave that loves a man of death and bones;  years of cold and hours of a backyard mirrors. floods of decades, hormones of violence; peace of unfamiliarity, an autumn of heart ache. 
          
          a jam of blue as a fight of love, a poet centuries old lurking in the present; lemons and neighbours, peaches and lungs. sins sacred before mercy, broken palms and roads of birth; sunset embroidered with veins, years fossilised with ricochet pain. 
          
          frosted letters, casual accents; love of bruised knuckles, a sip of sacred venoms. fingers of declaration, windshield dust; a lump of liability, a suffocated drink of laughter. an island where a soul sinks, oceans where the bodies bath; a thread of silk that cuts like glass. 
          
          evaporated pressure, fiery torrents; soul frozen and waltz of wakefulness. meadow of dawn, a canopy of a pleaide; frothing yearns and rippling reasons. death so close, yet addressed as cold; not every flower can be sweet, not every good heart can have enough honey.
