I still remember when I got in Wattpad. I heard of this thanks to a friend and one day I decided to join with an e-mail that no one knows I have and I put a name that I knew people wouldn't look for.
I know what it seems. No, I'm not one of those people who are always wondering if people they know are always trying to found out what I'm doing. I just like to have a place where I can write about whatever I want and I'm anonymous. Wattpad became like my safe place because I can put my head in the fanfics I write or read and forget for a moment about the stuff around me.
I tried for fun Wattpad, I wasn't expecting much of this. In fact I didn't even thought that I would be so long in this but I'm here and Wattpad stop being a place I write for fun to a place I write for fun and I can break down. I don't show vulnerability easily, but a few months ago I couldn't take it anymore and I just posted something on my profile, I wasn't expecting replies, I just wrote because I needed to let it out and this was the only place no one truly knew who I was.
I'm not saying Wattpad is all rainbows and sunshines but it can be a nice place for us to say what we don't say out loud for whatever reasons we have.
I still don't post many stuff in my profile, like saying that my day was awful or that I'm worried about something but I know that when I need to express what I feel I can do it in here, which is important specially for people who are like me and sometimes repress their feelings...
I'm sorry for turning this a little sad...
What matters is that Wattpad was a great place I found that let's me be a little more open about my feelings.
Of course there's haters in Wattpad, there's haters everywhere but I try to think the glass is half full.
