(HI HELLO PLS READ THIS)
hello besties <33
It's so nice to be here again, I'm absolutely FLOODED with memories from quarantine whenever I open this app!
Ik I've gone absolutely AWOL, promising to come back every. single. time. but never actually doing it? The truth is, I'm really just struggling to get back into wattpad, as at that particular time in my life, I was really just struggling, with a really unhealthy obsession with this app, cause the thing really is, that wattpad is almost a community, with further communities within it. From the very second you follow someone and interact with them, you make your own safe corner of the internet, with friends galore, no one really knowing who you are, but loving you regardless. For quite a while there, Wattpad, with a couple of other apps, was my EVERYTHING. I'd cycle through opening the same 5 or so apps, refreshing notifications every five seconds, waiting for my friends to come online, staying up all night roleplaying or waiting for events, applying to every roleplay or apply fic i could find. It was rough. but I loved it.
Looking back, it was a very unhealthy phase, so much so that i stopped using wattpad for reading or writing, just communicating to find some constant in a flurry of changes, a rock to cling to during a flood. I'm doing much better now, now that the world seems brighter and more open. I've got my "old" life back, something that I pined for, for so long. It's been amazing. ( Follow up for more on how I'm doing <3) I've changed a lot, I've grown a lot. I feel like I've turned a page, almost.
But, the thing is, Wattpad, although it was unhealthy, it was there for me. It was my comfort place, where I felt like 'me'. And I can't just give that up. I'm not leaving. I'm staying, but like an actual human this time round. No more bingeing on wattpad. There's a lot more I have to say, but the limit is close, so shoot me a message or leave a comment, because I really reallly missed you guys.
