Hey my cupcakes, my tulips.
I wasn’t planning to write this here, but I wanted to tell you myself.
My author Instagram account got suspended... and I don’t know why, but it hit harder than I expected. Maybe because people only see “an account got deleted,” 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 don’t 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 don’t think I’ll continue there anymore.
As for Wattpad… I’ll stay till I complete my ongoing book. After that, I think my journey here will quietly end too.
This isn’t a dramatic goodbye. Maybe I’m just tired. Maybe losing something you built with patience hurts more than people realize.
Till then, I’ll still be around. I’ll be uploading on YouTube: Midnight.stories_._18
And if you stay till the end of this journey… thank you. Truly. Because readers don’t just read stories; sometimes they unknowingly become a reason writers keep writing.

love, your tired author Preya Patel.
