Hey guys!!! So let's begin today's event! I mean, it has already began but.... Lemme tell y'all about my journey a bit.

Today, 11th of December (I ain't mentioning my birth year), a useless piece of shit, that is, meh, was born. So, as such, it's my birthday! (Idk why but I'm remembering one of BTS's meme 🤣) Well finally!! Today, I'm __ teen!! (If ykyk... I ain't revealing it)

Let me tell y'all a bit about my Wattpad journey, about what made me come here....

Writing has always been my passion, ever since I was a little kid. I remember writing some silly stories in my old notebooks. Now when I look at them, I just can't stop laughing! 🤣

Well, I got more engrossed into writing from the year 2020 when things started turning upside down for me. As a kid, I found it really difficult to cope up with all those changes. At times, I feel like ending my own life. But then, I thought... Why not write all my feelings in a notebook?

I initially joined Wattpad as a reader in January 2023 because I was too eager to read a fanfiction that I was recommended in YouTube, 'MUTUAL HELP', probably most of you are already aware of it as it is considered as one of the best JK ff by many.

A year later, in April 2024, I joined as a writer. Initially years before, I used to buy small diaries and would write stories in them. The fact that I have finished about 5 diaries till now 🤣.

But, as y'all know, who would read diaries? Of course, no one would. And this would make me depressed at times that no one was there to support me in writing. My mind would be messed up often. Am I not a good writer? Am I wasting my time? I would think.

It was all until I asked my cousin to read one of them. She really liked it and encouraged me to become a fanfiction writer in Wattpad.

And yeah... The journey began!

Yes, I started off in April with my two stories 'Shining Crystal in the Dark' and 'Will he be mine?' but... It was nothing but a failure. For about two months... I got only about 80 views and no followers!!

So, I deleted them and decided to rewrite them. 'Shining Crystal in the Dark' is the old version of my current book 'Life of Secrets' and 'Will he be mine?' is the second season. This is why 'Life of Secrets' is my baby!!

'Entangled' is like my unplanned baby! I just randomly got some ideas reading fanfictions and also a bit of ideas from the kdrama 'Tale of the Nine-tailed'. Therefore, it always thrills me when people say it's amazing or whenever it wins an award.

After my second try as a writer in Wattpad, I was alone for sometime again, with my cousin as my only follower. It was until my firstever friend, first foreign friend and my best friend, VickyLory8 and made a deal with me to support each other.

And that's how my current journey began!

I started gaining more followers, more readers and of course, MORE FRIENDSSS!!

And right now, I can't express how lucky and how happy I'm to join Wattpad!

I'm so so happy to have friends here who never fail to make my day whenever I'm down! I swear the best part here except for writing is obviously y'all guysss!! For real!!

So, today I congratulate myself for leveling up.

I grew stronger this year and I won't be telling that 2024 was bad for me, which is a thing I've been telling to myself since 2020.

2020 and 2021 are reasonably bad because I lost my dearest Grandpa and my favourite uncle to the stars. But 2022 and 2023... Nahh!! Just some useless people in my life made my whole year bad.

But this year, I tell myself, "People are temporary. I lost some for sure, but I gained much more than that. And who are people anyways to determine how my year goes? It's my growth and my achievements, which if I look into, I've achieved much more than the previous years."

Really!! The best people I've met here on Wattpad.... I can't express how lucky I'm!! Especially, on this special occasion of my birthday! Right from sharp 12 a.m., each time I'm opening Wattpad today, there are tons of messages!! Though, I'm unable to reply all of you till now, still.... Words fail me up express my gratitude to y'all!! THANK YOU AN INFINITE TIMES!

I clearly remember how 2 years ago, in 2022, on this very same day, I looked at the mirror, my eyes red with tears. Imagine being ignored by everyone on your own birthday. Imagine people just coming for the party, not even wishing you. I told myself then, "Wouldn't it be so peaceful if we disappeared? Everyone would be happy, no one would care! We would be happy too!"

But today, this same day, on this very same place, I look at the mirror, with a proud smile, telling, "Live. Find peace within yourself. You gotta climb the slope and reach where your future self is waiting for you! Fight, till destiny itself declares your end."

GROWING STRONGER! 💪

WITH WATTPAD FAMILY!! 💜
