Hello hello, mah fellow hoomanz, I hope you all are well,

It's been a while, hasn't it? I apologize for my absence, I really wasn't so sure on how to come back honestly.

This is actually my second time trying to write this thing lol. I was meant to address my absence back in the summer of last year but I struggled to write it. Now we're here.

I wish to start off and say that I'm very grateful to have started this account and to have grown a small audience. Wattpad was the start of my online life and I really don't think I would've been in my current position without it. Being here has helped me grow and discover so many opportunities, along with meeting many new people, some who have been my friends.

This part is sorta a small yap session. Kinda a cheesy bit but I just wanted to say it. If you want to skip; look for this combo—>⭐️🪻

When I first started this account, I was just reading books of my favorite ships.
Though after a few months of that, I got the desire to write, and just a few days after, my first book, Top Hat Love, was written. I would post a new chapter everyday, and once the book was completed, I started my next book. Lights Out was my second book and I didn't post everyday on that book like Top Hat Love but I did post around every two days or so. During that, I made this (third) book, posting everyday for a while.

Then I made my fourth book, The Runaways, which was a pride month special but, just after the 3rd or 4th chapter, I stopped posting. Why? I just lost motivation and well, chapters were kinda rushed, except the first one. I didn't have any chapters written out beforehand besides the first one. Along with that, the last day of school was coming and things started popping up, which started killing my motivation to write and delayed publishing. When summer vacation came, I hoped that I could write more chapters but as you have seen, I didn't write any new ones.

I soon discontinued it.

And as time went on, I slowly started to become inactive. Every now and then I'd post but again, it's not like I use to. School was a factor going to my inactivity, along with my motivation and me moving on with other things.

⭐️🪻 Now, I look back on this account, all the memories, everything I've been able to accomplish, the people I met. It sometimes feels like a dream at times, it really does.

I'll be starting a new chapter in life and this one is going to close soon, and well, I just want to say, thank you.

Thank you to the readers who gave my stories a chance and read them, even if it was one chapter, and sometimes even giving them a vote and/or adding them to your reading list.

Thank you to the wonderful people I've met, and the friends I made. Even if some of us no longer talk as of now, I'm forever grateful for the memories we had.

Thank you to anyone who has created art for me, I cherish every single one and I have them all in an album in my photo gallery. If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have ever made the first version of my oc(she's changed a bit as my art improved and such) and I probably wouldn't have started drawing even more than I did, back then.

Thank you to every single one of my followers. Thank you so much for your follow and support, I really appreciate it. 💜

And with all that has been said, I suppose all I have to say is that, well, I will (I guess?) retire from writing on this account. I may return with a new account or maybe I'll be back, revamping this one. I'm unsure as of now, but I one thing I know is that I'll hang around, commenting or sometimes just reading.

I love you all so much and thank you for everything. Not in a million years would I have thought that making this account would've gotten me here.

And before I leave, I'll leave some links to where you can find me. I'm still online a lot, and kinda active elsewhere on the internet.
