um,,, hello. its maxine, and I have reluctantly returned to scratch because of one small reason. nostalgia. simply because I was raised on this website. seeing my old projects makes me genuinely so warm and fuzzy inside. also, i'd like to address my past behavior. (that being on the @._shattereduniverse_ account) apologies to anyone who may have been involved in drama with my stupid 9 year old self in 2021. I was a dumb, petty kid who was just looking for some drama to be involved in. and yes, my vents were indeed attention seeking. I have taken a step to becoming a better person and take full responsibility for my actions. again, if anyone involved in "drama" with me decides they don't want to interact, I understand. but really, I have grown as a person and fully understand that my actions have consequences. I would like to leave past in the past. another thing i'd like to discuss: my recent drama before leaving scratch. I didn't know how to deal with things properly or just ignore so my anger issues got the best of me. sincerest apologies to anyone who may have been hurt by any of the stupid stuff I said, but you don't have to forgive me. I shouldnt have reacted like that and cracked under pressure, but honestly my feelings were in a way beyond my control. my first response to a situation is anger and i cant control my emotions well enough to have a bit of goddamn restraint. anyhow, this is miles long so I think I will end it there. sincerely, feral.
