sending love to everyone. 
          
          the death of liam has hit me much harder than i anticipated. i'm still not sure if i'm grieving him or the situation and what it means. 
          
          i was not a fan of him since his solo activities began, and i certainly did not support the person he had become as revealed by his ex-fiance and fans (some of whom i actually knew when i was younger and meeting the boys). his death is undeniably tragic, though. the circumstances of it, and the fact that his loss will completely alter the lives of his family. 
          
          i grieve for his son, especially, and worry how this will impact him. such a young age to experience loss, but made even harder as it happens under the scrutiny of the public eye. 
          
          liam was a part of something so monumental to us - i would not have my friends without one direction, and certainly not as many happy moments. for many of us, we grow up alongside them, and without even knowing us helped us navigate our struggles and pain. it truly is a gift to have those memories to look back on, and to still cherish even as i approach my thirties. 
          
          i hope you're all doing well, and please know that your grief is very much real. there is a kind of grief called disenfranchised grief: grieving someone you do not know and do not feel like you have a right to, but still being impacted by. it's as powerful as grieving someone you do know personally. just as nuanced, just as complicated. 
          
          look after yourselves.

@ThousandYearsOfHope you articulated my thoughts perfectly. human emotions can be so complex and contradicting at times but we should show ourselves and others the grace to process them even in circumstances as complicated as this one. i hope you're doing okay, i'm thinking of you and sending you all my love!

Sending you SO much love. You articulated everything so poignantly and perfectly. I feel the same and I think the biggest thing right now for us personally, is huge self-care and to know we’re valid in however we’re feeling. I also think there’s an extra layer of us grieving FOR the boys we hold so dear to us, and the family because during the 1D Days, it was one big family and the family would constantly interact with the fans. I think that’s why the 1D fandom has always been a unique one, and whilst right now this has truly rocked us all regardless of how we felt towards him. Take care of you and I’m just sending so much love xxx

hey hi hello 
          
          it’s me 
          
          what’s up 
          
          i’ve been writing recently (finally found my mojo) and it’s something i might want to share on here, but i’m not sure if any of you would be interested in it (or little old me anymore). i don’t know if it’s a fanfic, currently i’m not writing it as one, but i might change that if i’m swayed. 
          
          regardless, just wanted to see if people would be open to some historical fiction? regency england, v pride and prejudice, everything i love about austen. i’ve never written historical fiction before, but i’m really enjoying what i’m creating, and i really would love to share it. it’s romantic and angsty. all the best things! 
          
          let me know. 
          
          hope you’re all well x

Can't quite believe I'm saying this, and if you follow my twitter, you'll already know, but I am no longer choosing to write on Wattpad anymore. 
          
          It's not a decision that was made lightly; I've been wrestling with it for a long time, in truth. But after all the attempts I've made to make something work, to find the joy in it, I've decided it's time to simply step away from the platform and the type of content I write and focus on myself. 
          
          Writing on here over the past few years has brought me immense joy, and I'm so completely grateful for the consistent love I've received. Whether you've read an entire book or just one chapter from me, it has meant the world. Finding a community that celebrates the stories I want to tell and encourages me to be better and aim for me has been such a blessing. It's changed my life. 
          
          I want to write beyond this website now, though. Beyond fan fiction and any random idea I might play around with because of votes and comments on a chapter. I want to write a story I believe in, and I want to work on getting it published. 
          
          That's always been the dream, ever since I could string together a sentence: being an author. I've hidden behind Wattpad instead of using it as a tool to help me get there, and now I'm ready to take the skills I've learned and the stories I've developed in my mind to more people, on real pages, in someone's hands. 
          
          Of course, this means my ongoing stories will be deleted shortly. I'm sorry if you enjoyed and I didn't finish. But the completed ones will remain for you. Who knows, I may even come back a few months down the line and act like this was never written! 
          
          For now, this is goodbye. A very sad one, but one that's necessary. 
          
          Thank you again, truly. I'll never be able to say it enough. 
          
          I love you all so much. 
          
          Stay safe, big love. 
          
          Cel x
