One of the things that makes me the most mad in life is pretending abuse is not abuse because is done to a man.
Nowadays scenes in which a woman gets harmed and it's written as an okay thing get he'll, and that's great, I just wish we gave the same treatment to scenes harming males.
It's just so upsetting reading 'queen' or 'strong' or people saying it's '*kinda* toxic' or 'it *may* be abuse' to something that is so clearly assault.
We still have so much left to do as a society, and we have to defend everyone, even in writing, because sexism isn't just to women like xenophobia isn't just to Mexicans.

WATTPAD STORIES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THIS SAD!!!

Getting rid of undeveloped characters is so easy, it's kinda fun.
Currently in chapter 4 of editing. The italian school system sucks, i don't have time for anything. Although is mostly because I procrastinate a lot.
Oh well, let's go back to history in which I am like 3 months behind.

Hi!!! I just finished reading Her Past, and I know you're editing and changing it rn, but I just want to pop in and rant to you about how much I love your story!
i can't emphasize enough how important this story is!! not just to me, because its nice and easy to read, but also for the themes and messages your portraying to the audience on wattpad, (which ik is a large portion of young teens). First, having a queer lead, especially written well, espECIALLY in a older brothers book is so impactful. It makes me so happy, that finally an important, transformative part of myself is included in a story i love. Second, how you write mental illness and trauma is sooo impactful. the past few chapters from isabella's perspective as well as all the other brothers have been so well written, and I appreciate how you don't glance over her years of trauma. She has to deal with it, and i think its a great message to us as an audience that the moment isabella faces her physical wounds is the same moment she has to face her mental trauma.
Idk if this makes sense, but what I'm trying to say is that your story is incredible! no matter your updating schedule, or the changes that you make I will continue loving it <33

I just want cute romantic stuff, is that too much to ask?
I don't want all the ridiculous drama and problems that come out of nowhere just for drama's sake.
I want a functional relationship you get to read, in which they learn to solve their normal problems.
If you make big dramas that make the characters break up like fifty times, it's really hard for me to think it's healthy, or that it's gonna last.

Do you ever get writing ideas so messed up and horrifying that you wonder what the hell is going on inside your brain?
This idea I just got, I kind of really want to write it but I swear is so awful. Or I'm overreacting.
If it ever comes out I believe you'll recognize the escene as "oh this is what she meant by awful.

So, I kinda want to delete my story most of the time. (Her past)
It's just so bad. I hate it. Other times I think it's okay and I don't hate it, so I don't know.
Should I delete it and keep only what I really like that I write later, or should I keep it as something I worked hard on but I don't like and it's part of my history?
Other options :
Try to re-write the story and post a new version (that would take a while and a lot of work but it could be decent) or repost it in another account and keep in this one only the ones I like
