Oblivion & Endlessly. [ Things change. ]
Hi guys. I'm so sorry if I don't sound very cheery, but this has been a hard and long coming thing that I've been putting off because I just didn't seem to have the heart to do it. I don't want to make this too long, because I already feel super emotional writing this.
So, as you all know, 2017 is now here. I've been working on myself, ( mentally, emotionally ) for the past year more than I ever have before. I made a promise to myself to do that. I've set new goals for 2017, and one of the things that I want to do in the new year is breathe. I know it sounds kind of silly, but it's true. I felt like this year, with the writing and other things that have been going on in my life offline, they have put a huge weight of stress onto me. It all was getting a bit too much, and I was trying to figure out the best way possible to handle these things.
I've contemplated on this since August, even a little bit after I published Oblivion. But it's just come to a point where I have to say stop.
I don't think I can do this anymore.
Writing should be a positive joy, an escape, something that you should always be happy about investing your time in. And it is like that. It shouldn't be stressful, but sometimes things change. Things change unexpectedly, and especially when you don't want them too.
I love writing, I had absolutely no idea that I could even reach the potential or write what I have before the end of 2015. Hypnotic helped me discover my love for writing. I'm a creator. I sleep, eat, breathe creativity; it's just who I am. And I know, from personal experience that writing is like art; whether it's painting or drawing, if you don't feel inspired you can't force it. It just doesn't work, it doesn't feel right. And that's okay, I'm coming to terms with the fact that you are not a terrible person if you don't feel inspired or have the want to finish something. It's okay, It will be okay.
I have to tell that to myself now, because this has been a really hard decision. It may not seem like a big deal, but to me it is. I've invested a lot of time and work and ideas into the Hypnotic/Oblivion storyline so that you guys would have a sequel to read, because I still have ideas that I would love to share and write for you guys, but it wouldn't be my best work and I wouldn't be proud of it because I'm just not inspired to write that anymore, in complete honesty. You guys gave me undying love and support and I'm forever grateful for that. But sometimes, like I said, things change when you don't want them too. I've sacrificed a lot for wattpad and the writing on here, ( so many have and do and that's okay! ) by that I mean my time and mental health, spending time with my family and figuring things out for myself. Because I wanted it to be the best for you, you guys all supported me and I figured that's the least I could do. I wouldn't change the time I have had on here writing that story for anything, I wouldn't dare. But, I'm just going to be honest, I can't do it anymore. It's not making me happy.
I'm not letting these ideas die out for this storyline, I like to think about them from time to time in my own mind and be proud of the scenarios I've conjured up and I've realized; I'm okay with not writing it. The world will move on, it will be alright. I don't owe anyone anything. I've got to do what's best for me at the moment, and I think this is it. I know this isn't really a big deal, but to me it is. I don't want to disappoint anyone.
Writing should be an escape, everyone gets writers block but this has been going on for a long time now. Writing should come naturally. But when it feels forced, that's a different story. But I've come to the realization that, it's okay. Even if you've come halfway, you don't owe anyone anything. I felt like I would be letting people down by this, and maybe I am, and I apologize truly I am so sorry, but I don't want you guys to think it's because I don't want to write it for you. I've learned that you have to write for yourself at times, because if you don't, it's just going to suck everything out of you. Do it because you love it, I still love writing and always will, I just don't feel inspired to continue to write Oblivion (and Endlessly.) I will still be continuing to write Truly Madly Deeply!!! I have so many exciting ideas and things for that.
I'm hoping for 2017 to be a great year, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions for yourself. I don't regret making a sequel, I wouldn't change it for a thing. You guys have been so supportive over it and I cannot thank you guys enough for all the love and appreciation you have shown for it. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.
I don't want you guys to think I'm giving up, I would never.
I'm just doing what feels right at the moment.
I don't like having content on my page, where I know I won't finish it. So I have decided to unpublish Oblivion and Endlessly for good. I will be keeping them up until next Sunday, one more week, if any of you want to read it if you haven't but obviously you don't have too.
I'm sorry if I've disappointed you.
I hope you guys understand. I love you.
