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 I never use it anymore and I've unpublished many of the things I posted, (they weren't done, and they weren't very good; I never had the time to sink into them to make them good and I started many of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.
