Hey my cupcakes, my tulips.
I wasnāt planning to write this here, but I wanted to tell you myself.
My author Instagram account got suspended... and I donāt know why, but it hit harder than I expected. Maybe because people only see āan account got deleted,ā but for me, it was much more than that. There were 90+ reels there⦠edits, words, late-night efforts, tiny pieces of my thoughts and creativity that I kept posting slowly, one by one. And suddenly, all of it disappeared.
I know they were just reels to others⦠but writers understand this feeling. We donāt just post content; we leave small pieces of ourselves behind every time we create something.
And honestly⦠it shook my confidence a little. I had plans to slowly begin my journey as an author on Instagram too, but right now, I donāt think Iāll continue there anymore.
As for Wattpad⦠Iāll stay till I complete my ongoing book. After that, I think my journey here will quietly end too.
This isnāt a dramatic goodbye. Maybe Iām just tired. Maybe losing something you built with patience hurts more than people realize.
Till then, Iāll still be around. Iāll be uploading on YouTube: Midnight.stories_._18
And if you stay till the end of this journey⦠thank you. Truly. Because readers donāt just read stories; sometimes they unknowingly become a reason writers keep writing.

love, your tired author Preya Patel.
