To anyone who didn't get on that shortlist today: don't worry about it. Your writing is still just as good as the people who won. If you scroll through the list, you won't be able to find a story with less than 1000 reads, so obviously there is some weird algorithm that they use where less popular books can't win. You are good writers and you should keep writing, even if you never read a silly award. Do it for the love of the craft. I guarantee you'll have more fun that way. Have a great day guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!

❤️Beautiful Person Award 
          
          -Once you’ve been given this award, it would be lovely if you post it on 8 people’s message boards who deserve it. There’s no catch, it’s just spreading the love and let someone know that you think they are beautiful inside and out-

I haven't read more than your poetry, and a few comments, but you're cool too, and not just because it sounds like you need to hear that.  Keep your chin up and try to remember divorce and the complicated mess that causes it are really hard on parents too.  They can't be there for you if they don't take care of themselves first.  
          Let you in on a little secret, the hardest things we do for the love of our kids are also the things they will never know.  The side of your parents they show you is only what they think you need to see.  Even when they are wrong.

Look, I know no one reads these, but I figured I'd say it anyways: I released a new book!!! All at once!!! All finished!!! but wait.. it's poetry book so no one cares. I personally love writing and reading poetry and I'm really proud of what I've written, so if you'd like to check it out that'd be great! Love you guys!

I read your book twice.  I'm  somebody's dad you will never know, but she went through some similar stuff.  Hope it helps to know somebody random cares.  Hope your therapist can help you find your way out, I know how it is when you don't feel loved by a parent and they are struggling with loving themselves.  Also, divorce sucks.  Everything feels so directed at you, while at the same time it feels like nobody can see you are hurting.  I am here two decades later, dealing with some of it yet as I raise my daughter, but the depression REALLY subsided as I got older and I met good hearted, healthy, moral people I could look up to as role models.  I found them through work and church, but there are many good people out there.  I do wish I had spent more time with a therapist long before I got married and again as pre-marriage counseling.
            
            Soooo, I just came here to say thanks for the read, etc. and to see if you had any more poems.  Instead, I made you read half a novel, sorry 'bout that!

I'm sorry I keep doing this. I basically just write when I want. I don't know when I will feel like writing again. Help me get inspired. I don't know how, but please help me. 
          
          Basically, my parents are getting divorced. My dad is being an asshole about it, I'm worried about my younger sister, and there's almost positively going to be a custody battle. 
          
          Writing might be an escape and it might not. I dunno. Just please be here. I don't have anyone who I can truly express my opinions to other than you. 
          
          Love you lads.

Even if nobody is listening, writing my thoughts helps. So does reading my own thoughts.

heyy! since wattpad filed your comment on alleviate as offensive i thought i'd respond here. thank you so so much, you have no idea how much that means to me and ily too <3 i'll think about keeping the original characters in my new book, that was what i wanted to do in the first place but i didn't think anyone would like it so it's nice that you like my books for the writing rather than the fact that dnp are in them (: thank you again, ily!
