[To @Alpha_Wolf_Coder: I'm still going to complete part P, dw] DISCLAIMER: kind of a vent project Hi everyone. BEFORE YOU COMMENT - No, I am not leaving right now. - Please do not ask me to change my mind. The decision is mine to make. Recently, school has been getting harder. As a perfectionist, the vast majority of the time I feel disappointed in a high grade. An A+? Ugh. Why didn't I get all the extra credit possible? Why did I make that stupid mistake? I should have done better. People say that "oh, you learn from mistakes, they're normal, blah blah blah," but as a perfectionist, it doesn't really sink in. Mental health really sucks sometimes. My engagement in Scratch is also going down. I'm not interested in it as much as I was. Sure, I like watching animations/MAPs, but overall, I'm just getting less and less interested. A lot of my friends/idols are on hiatuses or in varying stages in the process of leaving. To list a few, @Mooneii-, @StarclanCats, @-Stellarlights-, @-HeartAngel-, @Blueii_Moon, @MasterofMeow, @WillowWolfie-, etc. (There are way more.) I feel less engaged without people to interact with. No, don't say "I'll be your friend". I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but seriously. That's not how friendships work for me. Additionally, I’m in art block. For you non-artists, that means I am struggling with my art right now. I don’t like what I draw and create. This happens to all artists, it’s normal, but still it sucks. I don’t have a lot of free time anyways. I’m doing sports and several bands outside of school. There is a frick ton of homework. At least one test a week. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy Scratch. It just takes up a lot of my time, and honestly? I have more productive things to do. I think I will probably eventually leave. Not right now, but in the future. Sorry for disappointing some of you. I know some people reading this won’t really care, but that’s their opinion and I respect that. That’s my update rn. See you later, Oreo <3 2/26/25
