Hey Bees, it’s been a really long time, I don’t know if anyone is active anymore but I wanted to give a huge life update.
I joined wattpad when I was in 8th grade and had one irl friend, and you all really helped me with identity and just not feeling super alone. Freshman year, I got a friend group including the girl I really liked in September/October and the bow tie kid. I was on my schools dance team for two years and almost killed myself because of how bad my mental state was. My sophomore year, I started dating an 18 year old who sexually assaulted me, we dated for 13 months. It was a very bad relationship but I was too nieve to even notice. November my junior year I broke up with her and decided to focus on myself. I got into powerlifting, got a national record in deadlifting, and improved myself in so many ways. In January of this year I met my now partner, who is truly the best person I could ever ask for, and like someone I daydreamed about in 8th grade. This year, I lost my entire friend group from freshman year, was socially shunned by teachers and students at my school, and bullied by adults at my gym. I hid away for awhile, only leaving my house to go to work (i got my 8th grade dream job of Starbucks) and to see my partner. I am now a senior, and I’m thriving. I have a few extremely close friends, I hide in my countys technical center almost all day, I am super in love, and I got into my dream university earlier this week. I’ve reflected alot these past few months about my life and I have come to the conclusion that I may not have made it out of 2020 alive if it wasn’t for my wattpad family, so truly thank you all. I never told you all this, but to those who are listening, hello. My name is Tay, and you all were my world. Thank you for being such great friends <3
