I SWEAR I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PROMPT
***_TW_**: **_SWEARING, IMPLIED/MENTIONED MENTAL ILLNESS_***
So, you might be wondering why I’m so upset! Let me fucking tell you what the fuck this gosh damn app did! They took down my writing titled _Sickness_ because I failed to follow the prompt. Now, what was _Sickness_ about? _Sickness_ was about mental illness, it focused on a person who’s friend was struggling with “voices”. The voices were bad and telling the friend to do things that the friend would regret. If they (the admin/creators/whoever the hell is in charge) had token my writing down once for not following the prompt then I could sort of see the reasoning behind it, but TWICE? First, I technically I indirectly follow the prompt (the second time) by writing the quote the prompt had. Second, people are struggling and they might need something to relate to or to find comfort in. I tried to make _Sickness_ so those people would have a story to relate to and to rely on when they were down. You see, if the story is taken down THE WHOLE REASON I POSTED IT IS ABOLISHED!!!!!! I want to be a safe person who you can comment on my writing and know someone (others or me) is there for you in the darkness and in the light. I want to help people who need or want help. That writing helped with my goal because it was related to sadness, bad thoughts, and things like that. ***You can comment on anything of my writings if you want to talk about something!!!*** I haven’t been able to buy premium yet and honestly, I don’t know if I want to anymore because I don’t want to support an app that takes down accounts/writings because the author didn’t follow the prompt. *I will still write on this app, I just might not buy premium.* I don’t know if this will be taken down, but I will always be here for anyone and everyone who wants to talk. I care about all of you and I love you so much (like as friends). Please, don’t think I deleted _Sickness_ because I wouldn’t take down a story like that one. I have never lost a friend due to mental illness, but it is still an important thing for me. Please, if you need help, talk to someone and let them help you! Have a wonderful day! Love, Sage❤️*Sry for yapping.*
