I know that I'm just about never on here anymore as I've migrated about 96% of the way to AO3 and FF.net, but I really needed a moment to appreciate the community on here. Wattpad has been a place where I can go and geek out about my fandoms and interests in a way I've never been able to do IRL. This site was one of the reasons that I stayed sane in middle school and high school when I felt that I didn't have anybody around me who could understood why I was hyperfixating on different fandoms and not just moving on with the rest of my life as soon as I was done. I don't even care if nobody ever sees what I put on here, but it's a way for me to express myself in a world where nobody understands. Here's your daily reminder that the little things you do matter. You may not notice it in the moment, but somebody will remember it years down the road and you'll have made an impact. I still have fond memories of group chats and reply chains where I made friends that I still remember to this day. All because we understood each other, even when we lived on opposite sides of the globe. So to anyone who actually took the time to read my little rant, thank you. You're part of the reason that I'm still here and haven't gotten swept adrift amongst the swirling gales and sweeping waves that we call life.
