hey guys!! We need to talk. Lol. So basically, since about Christmas time 2023 (4 months ago as I'm writing this) I’ve fallen out of activity here one scratch (as im sure you have noticed). I went quite mia and did not explain why I was just *gone*. So, long overdue, that’s what this is. ^^ Around New Year's and into January a lot of stuff just kept happening and I felt overwhelmed on top of seasonal sadness. But instead of telling y’all that I needed to take a long hiatus or that I was just feeling overwhelmed, I just kept telling myself ‘I’ll go online tmr’ or ‘I’ll make a project next week’ :\ but as we all know that didn’t happen. I would sporadically come online and try to work on a project but I would get so easily distracted that the motivation just went down and down. I love this website. I think it’s a wonderful platform and a great community. I have learned OH SO MUCH on here. My life would in no way be the same without scratch and everyone who’s been a part of my life through it. I met two of my best friends here(you know who you are) and cannot imagine myself without the memories and lessons I’ve learned through this. When my mom made my account for school and told me I had to use Scratch for 15 min a week I would NEVER have guessed that it would become such a big part of my life. For a solid year, everything revolved around scratch. I was always thinking of new content ideas, my closest friends were people I'd met here on Scratch and the majority of my free time was spent online. And I would never give up that time or change it in any way even if I could. My scratch journey has been full of things I will take with me forever. I never thought this day would come but I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that my scratch journey has come to an end. I believe everything has a time and I think the time for scratch is over for me. As I fell out of the habit of being active and posting on Scratch I began filling my time with other good things. I hope you will continue to enjoy my content and I hope you can take inspo from the projects ive posted. I love you guys so much. Thank you. Bye. -HannhMD
