I remember when my friends would talk about this website at school,
and I remember when they introduced me to it,
and I remember when they convinced me to sign up,
that one humanities class,
on November 11, 2016,
and reading fanfictions all through out every class I could,
staying up late at night,
and I remember all those close calls in class,
quickly closing tabs,
I remember how nervous and excited I was publishing my first story,
and I remember my first bad review,
I remember having to explain to my parents what I was reading,
because I wasn't talking to them as much,
and I remember accidentally discovering those dirty fanfictions,
and I remember getting into Naruto,
and I remember discovering what a one shot is,
I remember that one science class,
reading and clearing my history because oh my goodness I figured out what a lemon is and no,
and I remember changing my username,
the first time,
the second time,
the third time,
the fourth time,
the fifth time,
and I remember following and unfollowing people,
I remember gaining followers,
the excitement and happiness that followed,
and I remember writing more and more stories,
clicking the new story button,
publishing about half of my ideas,
I remember not too long ago creating my fanfiction.net account
and I remember looking back at my old work,
cringing,
I remember editing everything,
and writing author's notes,
I remember creating reading lists,
and deciding to leave Wattpad.
Here I say my final goodbye to Wattpad.
Thank you for memories galore and great stories.
