I still log onto this account every few years or so, intending  to delete it, to be done with Wattpad once and for all. I never use it anymore and I've unpublished many of the things I posted, (they weren't done, and they weren't very good; I never had the time to sink into them to make them good and I started many of them when I was 14), but I can never bring myself to delete my account.
          	
          	Every time I do log on, it's a trip down memory lane. I remember the friends I made, the stories I found, the skills I practiced.
          	I used to spend hours of my mornings during the summers here on Wattpad, writing, interacting with my friends I made here, making covers, and reading others stories.
          	
          	I use the same program I used to make Wattpad covers at my job now. The graphic design skills I practiced here, and the experience with the design program, are monetarily benefitting me. 
          	
          	I regret to say that I haven't touched my cello in years, and took a bit of a break from music composing, but it's okay. My cello stands in its case in the corner of my room collecting dust, the bow tie from my old orchestra uniform draped around its neck. I look at it fondly as I get ready for the day, telling myself that I'll get back to making music someday. 
          	
          	I suppose this Wattpad account is just another well-dressed cello, collecting dust in the corner of the internet.
          	
          	And that's okay.

Hey Guys!
          Wow, it's been a really long time since I logged in here!
          I'm not really planning on returning to active Wattpadding, but I just wanted to pop in to announce that I just discovered that my poem "Everything Needs More Cello" (published over on @Cellobrigade) was shared by the Cello Museum in Durham for World Poetry Day this year! Isn't that neato!

Hey Guys!
          I haven't been on here for a while. I've been super busy with summer classes and composing music (Yes, cello music). 
          Belated thanks to you guys for giving my story "All Things Cello" 18.5k reads and nearly 3k votes, and for making it #5 in cellist and #23 in cello!

Ever go back and read something that you absolutely loved and realize that most of it is no where near as good as you thought it was?

illialronds

Hmmmm, that's a good idea.

@illialronds no, it's one of the reasons why i rarely read things twice.
