Hi, all. I'm not dead, still alive and breathing. I know how it feels when a fic has stopped updating without warning, and I feel so guilty to leave y'all hanging with an announcement, a message... I haven't touched my Wattpad account in over three months. I just haven't been coping well since the start of this year. School's been hard on me, exams always seem to be around the corner, never giving me a break. I feel like I have to keep up with my teacher's, parents and classmate's expectations. Even in a neighborhood school, it's still very competitive, I have no choice but to also be competitive to keep up. It's pretty shitty how academics are held above every other regard. Want to go to a good school? Have good grades. Want to get a good job? Have good grades. Reforms are coming, but it's agonisingly slow, and it's so depressing knowing that the new reforms probably won't have much of an impact on my education right now. Since last year, there has been a steady decline in my motivation to continue with writing CH fanfics. I have lost interest, and there seem to be no fics that keep me interested in this fandom. Not saying that 90% of all CH fics are bad, but the crazy shipping and the horrible misrepresentation of countries turn me away from this fandom. Plus, I'm really disappointed in my own writing ability. Jabłko just isn't up to my standards and it's just so trash. I'm no longer interested in continuing it. I had quite a number of works planned for the future, but I feel my ability to write just isn't it and I'm scared future fics will turn out like Jabłko.

@tiger1Lily part 2: I'm trying to ease myself back into writing CH fics, but as I said before, my life looks to be more hectic and busy in the future and I'm not sure how I could still continue with writing while prioritising my school life. Or maybe I'm just too blind to see that I'm forcing myself to choose between a false dichotomy. I'm sorry, this is more of a rant than an apology.
