Some of you may have already noticed that I am no longer a Wattpad Ambassador.
The reason is surprisingly simple. I was away from Wattpad for some time and missed an important document that needed to be submitted, which led to my status being removed.
I wrote to the team asking if there was any chance to fix the situation.
As it turned out, I wasn’t the only one who had missed the document, and those of us in that position were given one more opportunity to submit it.
Unfortunately, by the time I actually saw the message, it was already too late. I had written my request at night, and when I woke up in the morning the opportunity had already closed. I’m not sure whether it was a matter of time zones or timing in general, but the result was the same—I simply didn’t manage to submit it in time.
Frankly speaking, this part is what irritates me the most. In the end, two very small and rather absurd circumstances were enough for me to lose the role.
I won’t pretend the status meant nothing to me.
It did. I spent a long time going through the training process and waiting to be accepted into the program, and being an Ambassador gave me a certain official position within the community that I valued. Losing it this way definitely hit my ego and my sense of position more than I expected.
It’s not something that keeps me up at night or completely throws my life off balance, but it did leave a noticeably unpleasant impression and knocked me out of my usual rhythm for a moment.
For now, I’m not planning to apply again or go through the training process in the near future. The situation itself left a rather unpleasant impression, and I simply don’t feel the motivation to start the entire process again right now...
That said, nothing else really changes. I’m still here on Wattpad, still writing, and continuing my work as usual.
@Polina_Popova - How very annoying for you, I am sorry to hear this. But I expect Wattpad is full of 'Red Tape' and buerocracy very like my own country (UK) which is tied up in it to an awful degree. It hampers progress very much. Keep writing, that is the main thing.

Thanks for the follow. Would you like to read my latest work, A Thread Between Stars?
Здравствуйте! Давно я у вас не был. Как у вас дела со стихами? Помню в одно время приходил чтобы прочесть их у вас, вы хорошо пишите
@Polina_Popova wishing you the same back!!!! You're welcome.

Hi everyone,
I know I disappeared for a while and didn’t reply to your messages. I stepped away from Wattpad for a couple of months. I’m not writing this to announce a comeback—I just wanted to remind you that I’m still here. Don’t worry, I’m doing well. My life has been changing very quickly lately.
One unexpected update: I’ve officially lost interest in the guy I liked for the past two years.
We were never in a relationship—he was simply someone I had strong feelings for. It’s a little ironic now, knowing that many of my poems were dedicated to him, and I’ll still be translating or revisiting them even though those feelings are gone)
The truth is that he’s no longer the man I originally liked. I don’t know what exactly happened in his life, but he changed, and he stopped being the person who once attracted me so much. And I can’t be in love with someone who doesn’t match my standards or the person I am.
I’m definitely not someone who wants to "save" people or be a lifeline for someone who has lost their direction. The man I want as a partner has to already be that man—confident, strong, and standing on his own.
At the same time, I keep receiving male attention, which admittedly flatters my ego a bit. But the biggest change is internal. I was always somewhat self-sufficient, yet those feelings pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. I’m not the same person I was when I first met him.
Who knows what the future holds?
Maybe one day things will shift again, maybe not. And if at some point we both become the people we’re meant to be—perhaps things between us could begin in a completely different way...
For now, I just wanted to share this with you, because even I’m still processing how suddenly it happened. I simply let go.
So… how are you all? What’s new in your lives?
@Polina_Popova That moment of letting go is extremely important. Finding that barrier between longing and moved on can be a crucial moment to understanding yourself, creating compelling art, and crafting a story to tug hearts. I encourage you to dig deep and find that moment. Of course, you might know when the levy broke since both sides were flooding. And that's okay too. We all disappear. The muses aren't always kind. As for me, I write and I write and I write and none of it feels meaningful. My mood grows worse and I don't know how to find my discipline. But life moves on.
@Joy_angie, @thelittlebystander, @StarSoldier021, @Heartstrings66, thank u all for ur kind words, guys. Sending love!
@Polina_Popova Hi Polly. Everything will get better. You will also find that good man that will be the one for you. You were so intentional with your feelings. I'm glad you grew in yourself you didn't expect you would. Better days are ahead so don't limit yourself to what you are made of. Keep on writing those poems, pieces or even chapters of love and hope in the brightest lights. I'm good. Reading more novels is something new in my life now. Remember to always take care of yourself✨️.
hey, just wondering what's up, it's been a while since we've spoken
It's been a while. Hope you're doing good.
@Polina_Popova Haha. Ego often does better in the presence of competition. Rivals have a way of igniting the heart. Eitherway I get it.. being busy is like my whole thing now. Like I wake up and look for my coat that has Busy on the back.. like a jersey number. Don't call me. Don't look for me. Didn't I tell you I'm busy. Before I know it, I'm even too busy for myself. Like this floating bowl of existence sailing to some predetermined destination. But I'm naturally laid back so I snap out of it when it gets too much. Being busy can be scary. I just hope you're busy is not like mine.
@DerekMinor, yeahhh It’s true, I haven’t published anything for a long time. I legit abandoned my entire poetry collection, which kinda feels like betraying myself. I’m definitely not proud of that. At the moment, I’m in the middle of my uni exams, and most likely I’ll be free by the end of the month. I suppose it’s time to pull myself together and start publishing again. My ego is highkey offended by the fact that I’m not continuing something I once started and something that was GOING WELL (!!)
@Polina_Popova Haha. It's like a slow horse in need of love and encouragement. So it feels more like a donkey than a horse. How is your creative journey? Haven't seen any updates yet?
‼️ I’m currently searching for completed poetry collections to review for potential inclusion in the Ambassadors’ reading lists. I will personally read every submission before recommending it to the team.
Feel free to share your own work or the works of your friends!
@Polina_Popova I don't know which style of poetry you're looking for, but if you want something a bit different, I'm writing a narrative poem called "The Taste Of Him." I estimate it will be complete by the end of April. (It's complete behind the scenes, I'm just pushing the "Publish" button twice a week.) https://www.wattpad.com/story/407191365
@Polina_Popova My main poetry collection is called Gates of Heaven and is here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/257651498
I have to read your poetry slowly because it is complex and full of grandiose imagery. Thank you, Polina!!
@Heartstrings66, hey darling! Thank you so much for your words!! I'm glad you're enjoying my poetry ♡
