Wattpad calls onto me like a tender lover, awakening me from my malnourished slumber on top of my notebook, the touch of revision lost upon it.
          	
          	"They're reading your fic! They commented! Look at the comment!" It beams, eyes bright like a buttercup under your chin.
          	
          	Woah! Dazzling! Showstopping!
          	
          	I gasp a gasp of excitement, throwing away my poetry revision to focus on my love, my life's work, my constant reminder to live! It comes to me in a flurry, the joy, the impenetrable urge for validation upon my existence. The mild horror of the effort I have squeezed into this dying economy for free is not to surpass my unquenchable passion. I so desired something much different in my youth, and yet I prevailed touchscreen, writing literary works perhaps not up to par with the ages of Dostoevsky or poets from war-ravaged lands. And yet. This one reminder of my love to be proven, noticed, admired... It was enough.
          	
          	I hold my breath, opening my eyes to see the english lexicon flash against my retinas:
          	
          	"what's in the drawer"
          	
          	My smile fades as I shut my device, scream profusely, and move to Argentina.

Happy about the ceasefire so far. The Palestinians can finally have a moments peace, even if it might not be permanent. Crazy how 3 Israeli hostages equate to hundreds of Palestinian 'prisoners' (they're also being held captive without trial, in reality). Goes to show how little Palestinian life is valued.
          
          I hope this holds up, though. I want to be happy for them. They've been through so much, even in the days leading up to the ceasefire. That thing (Netanyahu) really wanted as many innocents killed as possible before he can't.
          
          Also. I downloaded red note to lurk around. The Chinese are really nice. Hope we don't screw it up

Just reminding you guys that Palestine is still not free! They need us more than ever now, and so we all need to do our part, whether it be by boycotting brands that have aided the genocide, or liking and sharing tiktoks by struggling Palestinians. Every little helps.
          
          The death toll is now realistically far higher than 100k. Merciless killing for no good reason. It is sickening.
          
          Never forgive, never forget.

@The_Official_Dettol the amount of people taking advantage of their situations is horrifying and disgusting. They deserve so much better...

does anyone else get a wave of fear and adrenaline before they publish a chapter like if they hit publish their device will explode
          
          also tell me to publish chapter 32 or else I'm never publishing it out of said fear

That sort of feeling for me is nauseating, and I know full well that I have neglected publishing several things because of it.
            
            That being said, I agree with Maplemaplemaplemaple: PUBLISH IT, please.

Helloooo everyone
          
          Reminder that I haven’t left, I just enjoy ruminating whilst I look stoically out of classroom windows (because the camera is always on my face and I need to look good in every frame). 
          
          Afterwards, I go into town, heroically punching fascists.
          
          When I arrive at my humble abode, I knit jumpers for rainy, cold seasons.
          
          Finally, I go to sleep fashionably late, guilty the next morning for the transgressions made in my delirious stupor the previous night.
          
          Only one of those things are true.
          
          Can someone reply so I know I’m real

The_Official_Dettol

            This makes me very happy:”D

I remember you! Greetings, I haven't been reading your books in a long while (I was AlexzanderThePinoy for your information)

The_Official_Dettol

Ohh hello! Thanks for remembering me I feel very appreciated:”) Wattpad has been pretty dry nowadays and I’m kinda surviving off of the 2 regular commenters on my recent book lol
            
            I recognise the name but I’m not sure which books I’ve seen you from. Which ones did you read?
