Hi guys, I’m Khyla Sansano, also known as MyMaladaptiveMind on Wattpad. I know this might sound a bit dramatic to read or listen to, because really—who am I to be giving a speech like this, right?
I first downloaded Wattpad out of curiosity because I kept seeing people read and post about it on TikTok. I downloaded the app, looked for story recommendations on TikTok, and the very first one I read was Stay Awake, Agatha. I loved it so much that I kept rereading it even though it hurt hahaha. After that, everything just continued—I got hooked on reading, and as you can probably tell from my library, I’ve collected so many stories already.
Eventually, I thought of trying to write something too. At first, it was just a short story. Then I wrote another one, but sadly Wattpad removed it. I stopped writing for a while and went back to reading. Then suddenly, another idea came to me, and this time I pushed myself to finish it. That’s how I ended up creating three stories.
But these past few weeks—or months—I’ve slowly been losing the motivation to read and write. I barely even open Wattpad anymore, and that’s when I realized I had finally surfaced from the “drowning” feeling Wattpad once gave me. I was slowly growing tired of it.
Wattpad helped me in so many ways, especially through the stories I read. They taught me things like how to forgive even when the pain runs deep, how to wait for the love that’s meant for you, how to understand the kind of people you should trust or stand with, and so many other lessons I picked up along the way.
My luvs, I’m sorry if I won’t be able to continue the stories I planned to write—like Montavelino Series 2 & 3, Vivien Diary, and Why These Kids Suddenly Appear.
But this isn’t a goodbye. I’ll try to come back to Wattpad again, and who knows—maybe one day I’ll find myself drowning in stories just like before.
THANK YOU, LUVS, FOR SUPPORTING ME AND MY WORKS. UNTIL I HOLD THE PEN AGAIN. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.
