Happy Monday, everyone. Usually I'm not very active on this day for obvious reasons (aka the end of the weekend), however a few changes that have occurred in my life in the past few weeks have prompted me to send out this message.
As you may know, I'm in my last year of high school. This means crunch time. This means getting my college applications and everything else together time. This also means it's going to be very hectic and stressful for me until June when I graduate.
Although I love writing and being part of the Wattpad community, I have come to realize that it has become more of a burden and distraction for me than anything else. I simply do not have the motivation to write anything, and even when I try to, I end up deleting all of it because it's just pure garbage.
Right now, I'm taking almost all AP classes in order to get all of my credits and frankly they have been kicking my butt. Not only do they require a lot of effort and perseverance, but also a lot of time and dedication solely to them. AP classes are mandatory in my school and every senior has to take them in order to graduate with full credits.
Wattpad has become a distraction that I usually come onto when I'm bored/ tired of studying and need something else. And recently I have seen that it's affecting my mental health and academic performance negatively.
For these reasons and some personal others I will not be mentioning on here, I will be taking an indefinite hiatus. I do not know when I will be back, most likely to celebrate the 5th year anniversary of my account, but as of right now I'm leaving Wattpad. I'm also stopping all of the editing on my current books, which means they will be on hold as well.
I hope that I will be able to come back on here with a fresher mind and perspective, and show all of you a better version of myself. Until then, take good care of yourselves and stay healthy.
