A Farewell for Now – Thank You for Everything
Dear Readers,
This is a message I never thought I would have to write, but after much reflection, I have decided to leave Wattpad and remove all my work from the platform. This decision was not an easy one, but it is something I feel is necessary for my personal growth and future as a writer.
There are two main reasons for this:
Health – I have been struggling with pulmonary fibrosis in the lungs for the past months, and for the sake of my well-being, I need to take an indefinite hiatus from writing and online activities. My health must come first, and I appreciate your understanding.
Renewed Faith – I have recently deepened my faith in Christianity, which has led me to reassess the themes and directions of my stories. Because of this, I may not be able to write the BL (Boy’s Love) stories that some of you have requested, and I sincerely apologize to those who were looking forward to them. However, I will still continue writing, just with a different premise and a fresh perspective.
Although this is a farewell to Wattpad, it is not a farewell to storytelling. I will be rewriting my previous works and moving them to my personal website, where I will continue to share my stories in a new light. If you’d still like to follow my journey, you’re more than welcome to join me there.
That said, this may not be a permanent goodbye. If I ever return, it will be with a new and fresh perspective—one that reflects my growth both as a writer and as a person.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the love, support, and encouragement you’ve given me throughout the years. You have been an incredible part of my writing journey, and I will always be grateful for that.
This is not goodbye forever—just goodbye for now.
Please note that I will be removing all of my work in TEN DAYS and will be closing this account afterward.
With love and gratitude,
Leiko Shijo
