Hello all. I’ve been gone for about a year now, a little more, maybe a little less? I’m not sure. I haven’t been active on Scratch at all, and to anyone who was worried about me: I’m sorry. I’m fine, I’m doing pretty good to be honest. So why did I leave? Mostly… to focus on myself. I’ve been struggling with some stuff. School, the loss of friends, my family situation, and some other things I can’t go in to, both for privacy reasons (someone on this site was involved) and because I just don’t want to describe it. It’s been hard to talk about to even my closest friends. Because of that, my mental health took a turn for the worse, and I’ve been trying to focus on myself so I don’t do something drastic I might regret. While my mental health was a big factor… I also just became… uninterested. I’ve been working on my WEBTOON, When the Clock Chimes, and trying to focus on school. It’s been a real struggle for me, if I’m being honest I’ve just wanted to keep being me. I feel like I’ve changed so much over these years. I’ve found new friends, discovered new things about myself, and Scratch became a thing of the past to me. I love all my fans and everyone who supported me forever. But unless something changes to make me want to come back, I won’t be returning to Scratch. I am sorry. If you guys are curious about what I’ve been up to, please check out my YouTube channel, StrawThatBends, my Instagram, @StrawThatBends, and my WEBTOON, When the Clock Chimes. To anyone curious about The Broken Throne, there is a great update on the ABT account. I am following it. But if you’re too lazy to go find it, the basic gist is that… we probably won’t be back. We (the directors) aren’t exactly friends anymore. Some very private things contributed, but mostly we just drifted apart. We’re all on good terms, but we just don’t talk anymore. Do I miss them? Well… I’m still kinda friends with two of the other directors, but if I’m being honest about the other two, not really. It was so fun to be with them, and they were great people, but after some of the things that happened I just don’t think I could really be their friend anymore. And to that friend, I’m sure you know who you are: thank you for everything. I’m sorry I never responded to that text you sent me. It touched my heart, and I’m truly sorry about what happened. Things happen, and life goes on. I’m sorry you didn’t make the play. Please take care of yourself. And remember that I don’t blame you. We were kids Thank you all so much for supporting me. Love ya forever! Peace!
