I think you'd like this story: "31?" by LavanyaSwamy on Wattpad https://www.wattpad.com/story/283649577?utm_source=android&utm_medium=whatsapp&utm_content=share_reading&wp_page=reading_part_end&wp_uname=LavanyaSwamy&wp_originator=H8FB4XvHdUY%2FFPLlm9JjhIH5dLINmtN9Mywx%2FMtC7dCBTZb5PPT6KCuIXjSSKttbi0Ji7g3R36ezz6N8imlaBnhJLlPr2CkHMc4Bnj2%2FcJNh%2FBeyWzBquu8dN3f%2FdRdU

i read a recommendation for a mordacious affinity, does this mean it’s not gonna be posted? i understand if you no longer feel that it is a good representation of what you feel now but i hope you post it again for people to be able to read it :)

Where can I find the alternate ending of until penguins fly?

After quite an extended break--hello!
          
          I hope you're doing well! Today marks my five year anniversary on Wattpad (w this account--I used to have a dif one from 2010-2013) and I figured it would be an opportune time to reflect a little. I started as a naive teenager, eager to seriously pursue and finish projects. I have fond memories of Wattpad. I adored posting summaries of new ideas, making covers and being supported by readers as I wrote. My time on this account has been marked with highs and lows. I stopped sharing my new work (and unpublished the majority of my writing) because I'm no longer the person I was when I started. I feel that my current work no longer fits with the work on this account or with present-day Wattpad in general (but, I am planning on surprising y'all with a small short story soon!). Although I am no longer active, I am so grateful, esp bc I was able to share my work and receive feedback from people around the world. How beautiful is that?! I am also thankful for my friends from Wattpad, a few of whom I am still in touch with! A special thank you to @pottervevo for being a close confidante through the years. We’ve known each other from 2011 and I am so proud of your success! Also to @--tempestuous for being my writing partner since my first NaNo (I am excited to finally meet in person). Finally I am so thankful for my followers (esp the OG ones who’ve been with me since Until Penguins Fly). I noticed recently that there are over 500 of you. Hitting this milestone was my dream and I can't believe so many of you are still reading my work and supporting me, regardless of how little I interact with you. So, thank you. 
          
          Five years later, I am in college pursuing a degree in biology (hopeful premed!) while writing on the side. I will forever be thankful for my start on this website, for the people who pushed me to write. At a time of much global turmoil, our words really mean the most. So keep writing and reading! 
          
          Much love, always,
          Macy xx

If you like books about #pain #heartbreak and #missingsomeone, I recommend Mindful by yours truly! Definitely worth a read, so come check it out! https://my.w.tt/63zG3gzZzN

I'm just going to borrow that quote you have there on your page because I can't stop going back to read it. John Greene just captured my every thought and summed them into those few words of wisdom.. I haven't read anything of yours so I can't comment on your voluntary hiatus but that quote earned you a follow.. I'm sure I'd enjoy your works.. :)

LIFE UPDATE: 
          
          Wow. It's been a while. First, I want to thank you for sticking with me! Thank you to the people who recently followed me! Thank you to the people who are still following me even though I haven't posted anything in ages. I love you guys and I'm so flattered that there are over 400 of you. <3 
          
          A lot has changed since my last message to you guys. I haven't written anything. I've been in a writing slump for a while and I don't know when I'll be able to write again. It's not that I don't like writing-- in fact, I miss writing. I miss the excitement of bringing characters to life, I miss finishing things and feeling proud of my work. I used to think it was bc I didn't have time to write. But even when I make time, I can't write. I don't enjoy it? It feels forced and wrong. 
          
          I'm at a very odd point of life where I'm trying to figure out what I want. I don't know. I'm in college now and this is supposed to be part of the best years of my life but I'm just kind of going through it like it's a chore that I'm supposed to finish. It sucks. I'm trying to figure out how to stay happy but I don't know when I'll reach that point? 
          
          Sometimes, I reread what I wrote before and it's terrible. Sometimes, I'm tempted to delete this account. But then I remember how much I used to enjoy writing, and how much I loved posting on here and interacting with aspiring writers. I can't bring myself to delete those memories. So for now, I guess this account will stay inactive. 
          
          I just want to end this message by letting you know that I really, really appreciate the fact that you are all here, reading things I wrote oh so long ago, waiting for me. I want to apologize that I haven't posted anything or even commented on anything. It means so much to me that you're all here. I feel like I'm disappointing you all by not writing anything. I hope you understand that I am trying but I'm have a hard time figuring out life. 
          
          I hope you're all doing well. 
          
          All my love, 
          Macy xx

Happy New Year! I'm sorry for being silent for a while. This is just a message to say that I'm alive, and I'm well! I'm pretty much finished with college applications, so I'm almost free. I was hit with senioritis and spent most of the year watching TV and doing anything that wasn't school-related. I'm on break right now, but once school begins, I have to bring up all my grades before my first semester ends. It'll be fun (not). Basically, I'll probably start writing properly around February? I don't know. Thank you for sticking with me! I love you guys!

Macy!! How are you doing this year? :)
