He guys,
I felt a big nostalgia to my teen years and wattpad was one of the factors. But little did I know that so many people loved to read my fictions and that a lot of people messaged me.
I was so young, between 14-17 and probably depressed. Wattpad was a form of escapism, not only reading the stories, but also writing them. Stories where I was the main person, someone who is wanted, but also stories that were problematic for the main character, a hard life, harder than my own at that time of my life. And I have the feeling what I was not the only one.
Around 10 years a later (currently 25), a grown ass woman living on her own. Studying psychology and going thru the phases of being in her twenties in the Nederlands as an immigrant (migrated when I was 1 with my mom), I can tell life got so much better.
It makes my sad that when I removed all the books, because I felt the pressure of my own perfectionism that I also was afraid to lose a community and friends. That I even said that I had none. I feel sorry for the little teen that I was and I’m so happy and proud of myself that I I’m living the life she dreamed of.
I hope you guys also did or like my are in the proces of doing it all.
Feel free to react with your own story.
Wattpad family, I love you guys so much.
