im a day late but it's has been officially 5 years since I first joined this app.
it's really weird how different you are now looking back at the past. it's really put into perspective when you read your old stories and see how much your writing has changed.
and I know it's probably hard to read your old stories, that is, if you even saved any. but I encourage you to. you'll probably cringe and get secondhand embarrassment. or maybe you'll be impressed.
but there's a beauty in that. even if that seems weird to say, there is.
I remember how happy writing made me feel back in the pandemic. it gave me a sense of purpose. I wrote as best as I could and yeah sure I made hella mistakes. but as long as it made me happy? I'm glad I wrote those stories.
so yeah, it's been five years. and to anyone even reading this, thank you. thanks to all the important people who aren't reading this as well. thanks for being apart of my journey while it lasted. because as of this 5 year mark, im officially retiring from here. its not like I've really been active recently anyways. but if you made it this far, keep going. only if it makes you happy.
