you guys, don't know if anyone's still using wattpad as their writing platform but if you still do and you stumble upon this, can I just say that it's been way too long since I've really taken the time to sit down and just let my past experiences sink in? I created this account when I was freshly thirteen and now I'm pushing 20 in a month and it's so insane that I've almost spent a whole decade dedicating a lot of my life to writing. it's making me so emotional lol getting to read my past works here (I unpublished them, and it's for a reason lmao) has been so refreshing but also extremely testy LOLLL i know that I was going through puberty BUT DAMN I never knew it was that bad, I might have laughed once or twice. but nonetheless, I came here to say that I've learned a lot and I'm now a changed person, for the better. maybe I'd look back on this post a few years later and think "wow, was I always that dumb?". to say, growth is so beautiful. you never know when it'll hit you but the thing is, it hits you every day. I'm out y'all, this is my stop. I'll be a lot busier as I'm now a freshman. I love you, stay happy and keep growing!
