Hi folks, it's been a long long time. And so much has changed! I'm a proper adult now with a job, y'all. It's wild. And hard. And though I don't open this app much these days and though I dislike what has become of wattpad, I often think back to the countless hours I spent here and my heart swells with tenderness.
I miss writing and reading silly little love stories. I miss all my friends/readers over here. And truly, nowhere else have I ever felt as comfortable as a writer as I have on wattpad, and yes, with adulting and under the weight of the real world in these terrible terrible times, my writing has mostly stopped. Most days I don't even feel like a writer anymore. But I want to change that. And I think I've found a new place to try to do so.
So if you still want to stay in touch, read stuff I write, you can now find me on substack: https://substack.com/@glasseyed29
I have two publications, one on poetry, personal essays and so on, and the other on economics (but not hardcore econ cause i'm too emo to do proper academia) cause your girl is an econ researcher now, lol. But do drop by, and now that I'm writing this message, perhaps one of my first posts over there will be about this site, its people and how it shaped my childhood. I don't know who I'd have been without this platform and the wonderful folks I met here. Oof imma go cry now.
