It's been so long... · 11:22pm Oct 22nd, 2018
So I looked up my old account here on a whim and I was surprised to find out i could access it again! Six long years ago I wrote a moderately successful story called A Walk In The Park... Or Not and I was so proud of it. I was only 13-14 at the time but it seemed like people genuinely enjoyed my writing so I kept at it and honestly it kept me going day to day. I was so proud of my work in fact that I made the fatal mistake of sharing my work with my father. He didn't support my involvement with the Brony community in the slightest, being that I was as young as I was and that the fandom tended to be older guys. Anyway, I shared my work with him not realizing that he had access to the password to my account (I used the same pass as my Facebook at the time which he had access to) and within the hour he cut me off. I wasn't able to finish my story or interact with the people who enjoyed it anymore. I begged and pleaded with him to return it to me, but he wouldn't have any of it, and to be fair I think it came from a good place. He was concerned for my safety, he didn't want me getting taken advantage of by some creep or worse get tracked down by one. While I think he may have been overly security conscious, I understand where his heart was. That being said, I effectively stopped writing completely, my spirit was broken and my desire to create died. It hurt the relationship I had with my father so deeply that we had to go to therapy to try and mend the damage, not that it did anything. I never did forgive my dad, I think I mostly just forgot how much I was hurt. Anyway, I tried and failed many more times to pick up the art after the incident, going so far as starting from scratch on this site and trying to build up a following again but to no avail. I gave up shortly after and moved on, and I didn't plan to write anymore. I grew up, moved out, for gods sake I'm dating a girl who I plan on marrying some day, I'm a real young adult by every measure. So on a whim today, October 22nd of 2018, I looked up my old account and tried to log in for nothing more than shits and giggles and here we are. Maybe he changed back the password without telling me, I'm not entirely sure honestly, but I'm more than happy to consider this my opportunity for closure. For so long I felt like I lost a piece of myself, I'm really glad I can lay the beast that was my writing to bed. Thank you for listening to my story :3 -Gearshed
EDIT: I'm realizing that the followers that I have are still active! If y'all want me to finish the story I totally will, just let me know :P
I'd have to reread the story, but if you feel up to it, I say go for it.
Well! I'll have to reread it, because it has been a long time.
But since it's in my favorites, I'm pretty sure I'd love to see more.
Sad story. I know how shit like that feels. It's an old story, continue it if you want, but likely it would be for only a very few people. If anything I think the saddest part is that you lost your creative drive. I mean, so have I, but I'm still in denial about it.
Welcome back, anyhow.
Well welcome back!
Welcome back, I think you were one of my first followers, and I returned the follow way back when. I hope you find the spirit to write again, writing is a wonderful thing
