ive made a final decision abt my wattpad account so this is an important read for anyone who isnt inactive/a bot that follows me. tl:dr; ive decided that im going to be moving accounts and leaving this one up as an archive of all of my old content. new account link coming soon
for the longest time, the only notifications i've ever got on this account were for an old fic of mine... the first fic i have EVER finished in my history as a writer; youth, a sonadow high school fic i wrote when i was 12. it always frustrated me to see my oldest story garner attention, and the rest of my content be left to rot
but... i don't hold that view anymore. it's an important part of my history, as are all of my other 'cringey' stories. it's not right of me to take away the nostalgia that 'youth', 'a ruined city', and other stories propagate for people. people who read them and watched them disappear, just because i get a little annoyed seeing a notification on this account. at the same time, i don't want to feel hindered by these stories, or hold the view that they're keeping me from being taken seriously
i want this account to be a safe space for the 'cringe' my writing started out as. i was just a kid, and it shows in everything i did. i also want to look back on it fondly, without frustration. and, i also want to have an account that is truly, in every aspect, professional. one that showcases how i've matured as an adult.
i don't like moving accounts. i feel like i'm abandoning my past, running away from things that may or may not have been my fault/in my control. but, i know that i'm not making a new account to run... i'm making it to grow, to show how i've already grown, and craft a space where i don't feel frustration towards my old content.
i will post my new account in the replies & links when it is made. thank you for supporting me all this time, and thank you if you follow me into the future.
