I'm pretty sure if you've been on wattpad for even 2 months you've seen or been involved in some sort of wattpad drama, and there are people who believe or act as if it's the biggest thing in their world and for some it is. I know it was for me awhile ago, but I am here to say whether you agree or not that wattpad is not everything and it's a hard lesson to learn.

There are much bigger things going on in the world right now then some wattpad drama. Yes, I know wattpad is an escape from the world, it is for me as well but it is important to know that it is a temporary escape, and that the issues outside of wattpad, they don't go away.

What issues? I could list a million, but I won't, I'll only list a few.

Palestine.

Cole Brings Plenty.

Nex Benedict.

These are all names, do you know them? No? Maybe you should.

Palestine I'm sure you know, but what about Cole? What about Nex?

Cole Brings Plenty, a native man.

Nex Benedict, a nonbinary teenager.

Something they have in common is they were both killed by people who hated them simply for being who they were.

I am not trying to make you feel guilty for not knowing of them, but I do want to remind you of how important it is to continue being educated about the world and what's going on in the world, no matter where you live, no matter what you believe, no matter who you are. You don't have to know everything that goes on in the world, and unfortunately there's nothing one person can do to fix it, however if you are unaware of all of it, then you are maybe too detached from the reality.

I know how overwhelming the news and the tragedies of the world can be, I know that when you're in a certain mental state, you are literally unable to look at these tragedies without consequences to your own health, and your health is the most important, but I ask that those who are in a stable mental state, keep yourself educated. You don't have to watch the news 24/7, but try to take 5 minutes a day to just find out what's going on in the world around us, whether it's issues like yes, deaths, wars, climate change, but also positive things, like little things you can do to help even a minuscule amount.

So when you see wattpad drama, it's okay to be hurt by it all especially if you're involved in it, your feelings are valid, but it is important to remember there are bigger things than wattpad and its drama, and that in the future, you won't care what happened on wattpad 5 years ago, but you should care what's happening to the world, because we will always live on it, but we will not always live on wattpad.

We can not change the world in one day, or even one year, but if we as people do not change, then how can the world?
