I’ve had this account for five years, but I’ve actually been using the site for six. Before I made an account, I used to write story titles in my Notes app so I wouldn’t forget them. Eventually, I realized it was easier to just create an account and organize everything properly by clicking “Want to Read,” “Now Reading,” or “Already Read.” It felt more efficient. It started with one story. Then it became 10s. Then 100s. Then 1000s. I’m really happy that my “Already Read” list is back because I like rereading stories I’ve already finished. There’s something comforting about going back to them. But seeing my “Want to Read” list drop from 1000s to just 100s made me realize something: there were so many stories I said I wanted to read back in 2020 that I never actually touched.
Last year, I even went through them one by one and decided to add comments set to “only visible for myself,” wherein I’d put the exact date I added it to my “Want to Read” list. It took time and effort. It wasn’t necessary, but it mattered to me. And now those small notes are gone. All that time I spent going back and adding those dates feels pointless. I’ve never been in a relationship before, but this is probably the closest feeling I can compare it to. I built something with those lists for over six years. I organized them, updated them, added tags, and told myself I would get to them eventually. And now part of that is just… gone. If I compare it to a relationship, the site would be the one that stayed and the reading lists feel like the one I’m breaking up with. Or maybe not the “person” exactly, but the version of something I spent years building and maintaining. It feels like losing that something that I've always been with. It makes me think about the stories I didn’t read. I know there were gems in that list. Why didn’t I start them sooner? Why didn’t I follow through? My “Now Reading” list is empty too, even though I know I added tags and planned to continue some of them. They were there, waiting. I just didn’t finish them.

Still, I’m grateful that the site itself is still here. It has always been there for me, even during really low points in my life. It gave me something to look forward to and something to escape into. Even if part of my lists disappeared, at least the site is still alive. At the end of the day, it was more than just a list. I gave my time and effort to it. And losing part of my lists doesn’t feel small, even though it technically is.

tl;dr this is just me being hormonal tbh, so don’t mind me. i know i’m overreacting. so don’t even bother commenting stuff like “read this post to know what’s happening” and sht, because i know what’s happening. i’m just emotional about its current state lol girrrrrl, i just said that I don’t need y’all to comment about that specific post and someone still commented it T-T this is me mourning my account’s current state lol

    (sorry xander we've been going through it so I get why you linked this lol)

    Don't get mad at Xander for sending the link!! We've all just been having to hella deal with everyone asking the same thing and are getting fatigue, so we assume most people making posts about losing lists don't know about the site crash and we don't have time to read the entire thing.
    But I get what hormones can really do to your mental so ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    i have 9 sisters and their 15 kids where most of them are girls. you don't faze me. i would still do the same to my sisters. because even if you've read it all, i have seen that during that lovely time of the month where you ladies lose it emotionally, you tend to forget stuff. some times your brains decide to say "bye bye body you're on your own" ::: passes the chocolate ::: best i can do for you other than giving you reminders
