❤️Long live all the magic we made...❤️ Hi. This is something I've been wanting to do for months, but was too scared to do. It would haunt me in the night, stress me out in the day. But finally typing this out will be such a weight off my shoulders. You can probably tell where this is going. So I'll go out and say it: I'm leaving Scratch. Yeah. This is probably really sad for some of you, and I am so sorry if you feel that way, because I do too. So let me add some context: Last year, I couldn't go a day without Scratch. I spent hours I could have been spending on my school, my family, my health...here. I made some amazing friends, learned amazing things, and had the most fun I'd ever had just posting silly things to make you giggle. I loved it, but I loved it too much. So, in February, I suddenly dropped a "Taking a break" project that shocked quite a few of you. Some of you thought I was coming back, some of you didn't, but I'm here to put your mind at ease. This has nothing to do with what anyone ever said or did here, this is a choice I am making by myself for myself. None of you have done anything mean to me that would make me leave. I logged on today, floored by how many of you came on to ask where I was, if I was okay, if I was coming back, and most importantly, that I was loved. You've changed my life for the better, and I am so, so, thankful. Guys, I'm actually tearing up right now, so before I go, I'll give you a more lighthearted life update. I'm trying to make new friends. Read more. (I'm currently reading The School for Good and Evil, and it is awesome!) Exercise. Branch out my music taste. (I became an Avril Lavigne fan while I was gone, actually!) Build my Christian faith. Explore. Loosen up. Live a little! I'm working on my body image issues, as well as my self esteem, and it's amazing! It's hard to say everything I want to, but I want to make it clear that this shouldn't be too sad. Yes, I'll miss you. And I hope you'll miss me a little, but not too much. I love you guys so, so much, I can't even express it in words. I'm reminded of a quote I heard years ago: "Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you until we meet again." And for the last time... Sirena out❤️ PS: I will be closing my chatroom and my profile comments. Thank you so much for reading this, and I hope you have an amazing day.
