hey guys. i was feeling a little nostalgic and decided to see what was going on on wattpad. looking back on my comments on fics, i initially cringed. but really, i was just an awkward and lonely middle schooler on a platform where i truly felt comfortable.
wattpad allowed me to be unapologetically me, and i have all of you to thank for that. from all of the replies to my comments to people messaging me, i was able to feel included in a community of people that really got me. throughout middle school and a good portion of high school, i had friends that constantly told me i was annoying, and i learned to keep my thoughts to myself. on wattpad, i was free to be my annoying self. the fact that there people that actually liked me for my personality was SO important for my development.
it’s crazy to think i’m in college now. i’m a lot happier now. i have friends that like me for me, annoying side and all. it is kind of bittersweet knowing that most of my friends on here are probably gone, but i just wanted to thank you all. without you guys and wattpad, i wouldn’t be the person i am today.
(ps: if you are still here, PLEASE message me, i’d love to catch up.)
