lil venty vent here haha I've been on scratch for almost 4 years (wowza!) and I've seen so many good things, but so many bad things as well. first off, most of my friends have either left, been banned, or have just straight up disappeared/stopped posting or commenting. secondly, I have drawn on scratch for years, and I STILL hate my art. I'm grateful to all my followers for helping me. also, speaking of followers, people who joined 2-3 months ago have hundreds of followers, and older artists like me (with a similar skill level) have near the amount they have or less. and I HATE the fact I care so much about followers. when I was first starting, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was so much happier and I loved my art. I've seen all my friends and other people who made me who I am today, just leave. like @KIBI_2222 , who, after studying her drawings, made me able to draw animals. @wibblejelly , one of my best friends, has ghosted scratch. @Shadow_Darkness000 has been banned, along with @CheeseyLeaves43 . my favorite youtubers also quit, like matpat, plus I can't watch YouTube anymore because my parents won't let me. I'm going to high school next year and I'm panicking about it, my body is starting to not feel like mine, I don't feel real, I h8 myself, and I feel like I'm gonna explode. I will not be quitting scratch. I will be moving accounts, which will be revealed once everything is situated. thanks for reading :3
