Well, here we are. Scratch has always been my go-to place to enjoy the internet (mainly because there aren't any others I know of) and I had been here for 2 years. However, over time, I noticed that things in Scratch were kind of boring and I left. Fast forward to January of 2024, and I decide all of a sudden "hey, remember Scratch? I'll see what's happened!" So I log back on, and I decide to open up to other people and be friendly. I turned to a new page and created my first OC, Oxidoom on January 6th (he's a year old now! :D) and I began to visit random Scratchers to make friends. That's where I meet @Hytb0x, on one of his projects, I believe. We became friends, and he's been here ever since. I soon meet everyone else, @CarolTheNinjaLaptop, @trudeauface (and all his alts), and TONS of other people. Thanks to all of you guys for persuading me to stay here on this platform. But on to the real reason I'm taking a prolonged break; Scratch just doesn't feel as... FUN anymore. Back about 8 months ago, everything was great. We all were online super often, and we all made projects almost every day. Even through the next months until about November-ish, when everyone started appearing less. People made projects less, I'd begin to have an average of 2 messages a day compared to the original 14 per day, and I just felt lonely. Now, I barely get any messages besides the studio messages. Some of you guys I feel ignore me, but that's fine because I know you guys aren't, and plus, you guys have your own lives. I began to feel like Scratch wasn't the fun platform I knew anymore, but I'm sure it'll change. It'll become fun again once everyone's less busy, and maybe everyone will post projects and have fun conversations all the time. Maybe, but for now, I'll be disappearing. I'm sure I'll be back, but I really don't know. I really hope that this isn't the last you hear from me. Goodbye for now. Music: Hollow Knight, the White Palace (piano cover) Happy Birthday, Oxidoom, and to all my OCs I made that day.
