          	publishing has been my dream since 16 - maybe my one day will be this year <3

Hey guys. It’s been a long while,
          To be honest I haven’t decided if Wattpad is a place  for my anymore. 
          
          This used to be a place we’re new writers were celebrated. I have had luck on Wattpad and I have seen how the app has changed and how it continues to be another platform for writers already published and making money. 
          
          It no longer is a place to share your art and possibly have a chance for many to read it. 
          
          I wanted to thank everyone who has read my stories over the years, who has commented and followed me, the friends I have met and still talk to on other platforms everyday 
          
          Maybe I will return when I start writing my stories again to finish them. But I am not sure.
          
          Again I love you all so much and am so grateful.
          If you want to chat and stay connected, I am most active on Instagram under @itsashleyclarke

Hey, I was wondering if your wattpad forum book is still active or if you know of any others? I've just re-joined wattpad after a hiatus and I can't believe the forums have disappeared, I don't really know how to reach out to people now, seems a bit counter-productive? Baha, thanks anyway

Yeah! I still get 300 notifications form it! I am just not on to add much to it but the comments and sections are still very active!

Yes I am sorry! I haven’t even on Wattpad in a really long time but I was going to hope in and add a few more categories!

Regarding my last post. 
          
          I wanted to give a quick shoutout to The Booker Awards and @awardshoster for caring more about their book than someone’s mental health. 
          
          I was tagged, told to be unfollowed while the author expressed how angry they were that I dropped out. 
          
          The author knew about my mental health and I replied after a few messages stating that I hadn’t been on Wattpad due to my mental illness. 
          
          However, the author decided to tag me and talk about my name without giving the full context. This is what really happened. If your here to unfollow me due to their post, go for it. But know the truth first. 
          
          Take care of each other ❤️

@Mendusbabe Thank you! I'm getting there, my voice however is still not. Unfortunately that's something that could take six months to a year to make a full recovery. I'm thankful I still have a voice because some people have completely lost theirs for a year before anything came back, but it sucks when your job depends on you being able to talk to people of all ages including ones with hearing issues and you can't speak up when they ask you to. It wears on you mentally and emotionally because people have become more and more cruel and less understanding. I'm trying to kick cancer in the butt with my 24th birthday coming up in October. That's a lot to be handling, especially watching my mom and step father go through their own battles with cancer. I'm staying strong for myself, but it doesn't mean it's not hard.
