Leaving Scratch

Instructions

I first joined scratch four years ago. I wanted to make a TV series that my friend and I had been planing as much as our 8 year old brains could. Over time I learned about followers and views, coding and animating. Over the years Ive changed in a way I would have never imagined four years ago. I went to a new school and learned so much more about myself. I got diagnosed with autism and relized how much I hated being a girl. I found things I love, like art and Gravity Falls. I even found out Im therian, helping me relize what I was having were shifts and not just me going crazy. I'm not leaving because I'm not popular or that Ive given up on scratch and think its for kids. I'm leaving because it's like school and stress has put a weight on my shoulders and scratch is somthing I can't carry anymore. I might be back, but not soon. I guess now can also be the time to drop the bomb that I created both ARG accounts @Im_la_artist and also the @Donlin2726. I'm still active on my Ibispaint account if you wanna know how I'm doing (@artmaker755) but I just don't think I can do scratch. To scratch I want to say is thank you, without you in my life I would be a different person. Thanks to scratch I found how funny, kind and even rude how people can be (most of them are nice tho) the whole community is so supportive and it seems like they all have each other's back. Scratch will always have a place in my heart. I can imagine myself in college going through old memories and remembering this website, maybe I'd go onto it and look through my account, laughing, cringeing or maybe crying. For whatever reason if my future self is watching: How have we improved? Did we go up or down as life passed by? What have we overcome? And finally, to each and every one of my followers I want to say: You changed me, you helped me feel strong when I was at my lowest. The fact that I have 90 followers is crazy. It's amazing that over 90 random people in the world decided to follow me weather it's they like my art, or just my personality, though it's a shame I'm leaving now when so close to 100. Evey single one of you matter and every single one of you will have a place in my heart. Now signing off, From: notiello
