Hi there.
I've been gone for a long time.
I wish I came to deliver happier news.
The truth is, writing, as a passion, has died down because of Wattpad for me. The constant checking of reads and the feeling of stress to upload chapters, and even during my hiatus the idea I would have to come back lurked in the back of my mind and I hated it. I like writing for fun and sending it to my friends, but sharing it to a large group of people I don't know, no matter how supportive, is too draining on me.
Another reason I don't want to do this anymore is because I've grown out of Sanders Sides and I'm admittedly not as enthusiastic about it as I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I get excited over the episodes and I'm not leaving the fandom, but I've moved on to other things to provide the interconnectedness I like to feel with characters.
Finally, I'm not the same person that I was when I started writing, and since I've evolved, the motivation to continue writing is lesser for me. I used to write because of a wish to find people who understood what I was going through. I started writing on Wattpad to project because I didn't feel as if I could share my feelings and thoughts with the people I was surrounding myself with. That's changed too. I have a group of friends who love and support me and an even better found family of some of my favorite people on this Earth. I don't need to hide parts of myself with them and I don't feel the need to project as often because I'm allowed to talk about my feelings with them.
I'm sorry about leaving like this. But I've moved on. This is probably my final announcement on here. My DMs are always open if you need to rant or chat, but I won't be posting any longer. I love each and every one of you and it was a wild ride, but my time here on Wattpad has ceased. Thank you for making it worthwhile.
Goodbye. ♡

@anxious_but_trying I'm sad that you're leaving, but you have to do whats best for you after all. Knowing exactly how many people read something can be stressful and I'm sure people understand. You are an awesome person and its been amazing to know you in your time on Wattpad. I've been following you since practically the beginning when you were Zaubersepticeye, You've made it into the small group of people on this platform that I actually consider to make characters for a story. The small group of people that' I've talked to enough that I consider them friends on the platform. I watched your followers go from 5 or 6, to 94 really fast. Thats almost 100! You surpassed me in half the time it took me to even get 30 followers, I'm proud that you made it this far and I'm happy that I got to watch. I wish you well in whatever you chose to do next.

@anxious_but_trying Not gonna lie, it's sad to see another go, having been on Wattpad for many years by now, I've seen my fair share of people leaving either because they've grown as a person or out of writing or for much sadder reasons.. But I am happy to know you've found friends who can help you and that you've grown as a person during these times and if you dont want to write you should never feel pressured or obligated to write! We will miss you, but we're happy to have known you for the time you spent writing with us <3
