I'm just going to keep this short because I don't really know what else to say. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible, just abandoning everything, and I've been getting worked up all this time, not knowing what to say.

I don't hate writing, I really, really love it. And I'm not tired of Ninjago either, because it's kept me going for all of these years (although I have yet to catch up on the latest seasons). But I just can't do this anymore. I can't keep writing things that felt like such a chore, especially when I wrote myself into a corner so early-on in most of my stories.
I don't plan on continuing what I've started, I'm sorry. Samurai and the Snake was the only story I was ever proud of, and the rest probably should have just stayed in my head before I committed to them.

The truth is that I'm 20 and a half, I'm a full-time college student, and I'm depressed. And every time I get reminded of the things I abandoned on Wattpad, I just break down.

I know that isn't fair to you guys, and I'm so sorry. I wish there was an easier way to go about this. I wish I was well enough to just shut my mouth and just finish my stories already, because I know you guys enjoy them. But I just can't do it, and that breaks my fucking heart. I can't apologize enough.

There's also the fact that the stuff I used to write, even my most recent stuff, is fucking godawful and I can't stand seeing it. I'm almost considering just deleting my stories because once I see comments coming through on my old stories, I just want to fucking die. And I know that sounds dramatic as hell, but there's genuinely a part of me that just wants to leave this all behind me.

Truthfully, I just can't handle seeing my old stuff on here, especially when people discover it recently. I'm scared someone's going to point out something bad I wrote, and it'll break me. I don't know how to explain it.

But I also know there's a lot of happy memories that stemmed from my stories too, and I'm just so conflicted. Because I have people that want me to update, which I completely understand and I feel guilty about, but I also just want to get rid of everything. And I wish things could be easier, like they were back then. When I actually got enjoyment from posting my writing.

I'm rambling at this point and I should probably just shut up now. I don't think I'm coming back on here, because this app in general became such a chore for me, and it's taken me such a long time to finally tell you guys what's up. You all deserve the truth, though. I'm so sorry.

I don't want to revisit my stories, and I'm probably going to keep them up for a little while for you guys to enjoy, but expect to see most of them deleted later on. I understand if you're upset with me, believe me. I know what I'm doing is really selfish, and this is quite possibly the worst apology in the world.

I just want to move on, and I wish that didn't mean leaving everything behind, but I'm really trying to prioritize my mental health.

If you want to follow me on another platform, my Instagram is cliobi.art, and my Tumblr is cliobi-art (I don't interact with people on there though). I don't post my writing anymore (even though I still write for fun on the side, and I'm drafting original stories), but I'm trying to focus on my art.

I appreciate all of the support you've given me over the years, and this community on here. It's helped me come out of my shell and make friends that I still have today, and I can't express my gratitude enough. I love you all very much, and I wish you luck with your writing, or anything else that makes you happy and fulfilled.

Take care everyone, and best wishes.
