Hi everyone, how are you all? The last time I logged in here was when the COVID pandemic hit and I know we all had a hard time during those periods.
Did you know? I just turned 26 this month, and maybe I started writing my stories here in Wattpad when I was 14-16yrs old. I reread my works and it's super super super cringe, super super embarrassing!! But I can't bring myself to delete/unpublish those works, because I don't want to disregard my younger self's efforts, courage and dreams.
I know, my past self is not the best writer I know, but I look up to her because she has what I currently don't have anymore.
I felt like I lost/outgrow my "dream world", my creativity, my passion for writing and drawing, when I started to focus on my career. I felt empty at first and I badly missed the old me, the one who sees the world in colorful hues. But at the same time I'm proud of all the accomplishments I had during these past 3 years. The best part of my life is, I don't have any regrets (except seeing my unfinished/WIP arts and stories XD) and I'm doing well despite difficulties in life.
Maybe someday, I'll decide to continue/recreate my old self's works. (but I won't delete the old works!! Let them haunt me till I'm old and grey lol)
Maybe it will start poorly again, it may start as more cringe than before, or may have inconsistent writing styles, but I wish to have a finished story that everyone will enjoy to read. Wish me luck!
