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.
