Why I Started Writing
Guys, let me tell you a story.
Why did I start writing on Wattpad? Because I wanted to share my ideas with people around the world — to inspire others. I wanted people to see that if I can write a story, then anyone can.
My first story was My Ex–Best Friend. It’s about a girl whose ex-best friend stole her boyfriend — and that story changed everything for me. I thought if I shared it, maybe it would get a little attention. And it did — but not in the way I expected.
One of my first readers was a girl from Portugal. She left a comment on my story, and she became my very first follower ever. That small comment meant so much to me. It made me realize that someone out there cared about my words.
I started writing in 2024, just a year ago. Back then, I didn’t believe anyone would read my stories. But over time, more people started following me. That made me happy — until I noticed many people would add my stories to their libraries but never read, vote, or comment.
It’s not about followers for me. I just want people to read my stories, to feel something when they do. Because when no one reads, it hurts. It makes me feel invisible. Sometimes, I lose motivation and think about stopping — but then I remind myself that I started writing to inspire others, not for fame.
My life hasn’t been easy. School is tiring, my mental health goes up and down, and some days, I feel like I have no energy left. But writing gives me strength. It’s the only thing that keeps me going.
So please, if you follow me — don’t just add my stories to your library. Read them. Vote. Comment. Let me know you’re there. Because your support means more than you think.
Thank you for being part of my journey.
With love,
