I used to be so sad when I would think of this account, of all the time that I spent with Forbidden, all the work and love I devoted to this app. I would be upset when I thought that all of that went to waste.
          
          I’m not upset anymore. I’m content. This wasn’t a waste. My writing has improved drastically thanks to this app. I know people, amazing people who I never would’ve met otherwise. I gained confidence and a renewed passion for writing. 
          
          This isn’t an abandoned dream. This is the start of one. This is a time capsule. And I’m okay with leaving it as a time capsule. With leaving my writing how it is for now. Because I’ve grown, and I’ve changed, and Wattpad did not grow with me.
          
          And I’m going to stay around. I will never delete my account, or Wattpad, or any of my stories. I will be here until Wattpad goes bankrupt, or the apocalypse happens (whichever comes first). And maybe I will write again on here. But I’m happy. I’m happy to leave my writing how it is. And this is the first time in a long time when I’ve realized that. 
          
          I love you all. This isn’t goodbye, or a declaration of me leaving Wattpad. This is just... a message of contentment. Of satisfaction.

I mean... we got 10K. And I meant to post about this weeks ago but I lost all track of time. So, once again, thank you. Thank you all so much. I started Forbidden as a way to simply get ideas onto a page and get maybe some critique. I never imagined that it would get ten thousand reads. That’s insane. Thank you all so much. 
          
          ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so close to 10k on Forbidden and I don’t really know how that happened, but now I’m extremely excited. Thank you guys for still loving that book, even if parts of it are still extremely rough and first drafty. It’s weird, I feel like I keep posting things to my message board and it’s solely to thank all of you, but I truly don’t know what else to say.

Happy New Year everyone!
          
          I hope you all had a fantastic New Year, even if 2020 was... less than ideal. I think we all deserve to hope for a brighter 2021, so here’s to the future! Let’s all make it fantastic.
          
          And thank you. I say that a lot, but thank you. Without you guys, I never would’ve had the courage or talent to achieve what I have with writing, not just on Wattpad but in the real world. I’m writing a new novel, one that I’m super passionate and excited about and one that I hope I can bring further than a few thousand reads on Wattpad (although that’s nothing to scoff at, of course). I have achieved multiple awards for poetry and short stories. I was chosen as one of the best short story writers in my state. And none of it would’ve been possible without you guys. So thank you for everything. Thank you so so much. I got my start on Wattpad, and even though my life has caused me to drift away from it a bit, I will always treasure this place and the experiences I had with it. Thank you, and let’s move forward to a better future together.

Um... hi. I’m not dead. I’m just not really active on here. I kinda grew out of Wattpad. Kinda sad, honestly, but what can you do? I’ll still be here for talking with friends though, so DM me anytime. Love y’all.
