Dear Scratch, This is the goodbye I never thought I’d have to say. When I first joined Scratch, I was just looking for a way to express myself, to share my creations, and to maybe find a few people who understood me. It’s crazy how much a website can become a part of you. Scratch was where I found comfort when everything else felt overwhelming. A place where I could escape, be myself, and feel safe. But over time, things changed, and that safety turned into pain. People came and went, relationships shifted, and I began to feel more alone than ever. So, here I am, saying goodbye to something that once felt like home. And though it’s hard to walk away, I know it’s time for me to move forward. I want to take a moment to reflect on the people who meant something to me. Whether we’re still talking or not, whether things ended well or not, I’ll always remember you. But I have to let go. For my own peace. For my own healing. --- **Loulou (ex-girlfriend)** – I don't even know where to begin. We shared some amazing memories together, but things turned out so differently. The trust we had broke when you cheated, and even though I tried to make it work, I couldn’t heal from that. It’s hard to move on from someone you thought you’d always be with, but I have to do this for me. I’m sorry things ended this way, but I can't keep holding onto the hurt. Goodbye, Loulou. I hope you find what you’re looking for, but I can’t be part of your life anymore. --- **Loulou (ex-sister)** – You were always more like family to me. We had some great memories together, and I’ll always see you as a sibling, no matter what. You didn’t hurt me, and we didn't fall apart the way I did with the other Loulou, but life changed, and sometimes people drift. Even though we’re not as close now, I’ll always cherish the bond we had, and I’ll always see you as part of my life, even from afar. You’ll always have a special place in my heart, Loulou. Goodbye, and I hope you’re doing well. --- **Potato** – We shared some laughs, memories, and good times together, but we both drifted away. You left Scratch before me, and it wasn’t anything personal, it just... happened. I’ll always remember our times together fondly, but things have changed. You were one of the good ones, Potato, and I’ll miss you. Goodbye, I hope you're doing great wherever you are. --- **Mom Suko** – You came into my life and brought a sense of warmth and care. I never expected to find someone who would take me in the way you did, and even though we’ve had our ups and downs, I’m so grateful for you. You showed me kindness when I didn’t expect it, and I’ll always remember that. Thank you for being there for me in your own way. Goodbye, Mom Suko, and I wish you all the best. --- **Sis Candy** – You were more than just a friend to me—you were a sister. I’ve always valued our bond, and even though we’re parting ways, you will always be family to me. It’s hard to say goodbye, but I hope you’re doing well and finding happiness wherever life takes you. Thank you for being part of my journey. Goodbye, Sis Candy. You’ll always be in my heart. --- **Mom Ava** – You were another figure of support for me in a time when I needed it the most. I’m grateful for the love and care you showed me. It wasn’t always easy, but I always knew I had someone who genuinely cared. I’ll never forget the moments of comfort you gave me. Goodbye, Mom Ava. Thank you for everything. --- **Elizabeth (local friend)** – You’ve been a part of my world in ways I never expected. From the moments of laughter to the quiet times, you helped me through some of the hardest moments. Even though we are parting ways, you will always be someone I look back on with gratitude. I’ll cherish the memories we’ve shared. Goodbye, Elizabeth, and I hope life brings you all the joy and peace you deserve. To all of you, whether we’re parting because of distance, hurt, or just the passage of time, I want to say thank you. You helped shape who I am today, and even though we’re going separate ways, you’ll always be a part of my story. Scratch was a place of growth for me, but now it’s time for me to grow beyond it. I’m choosing peace, healing, and moving forward from the pain. I hope you all find the happiness and peace you deserve. Goodbye, Scratch. Goodbye to the people who made it what it was to me.

Abby… I don’t even know where to start. You were one of the people who made Scratch feel like home when everything else felt confusing and chaotic. You always had that warm energy, like sunshine on a rainy day. I know we didn’t talk all the time, and sometimes life pulled us in different directions, but I never stopped appreciating the way you were there. The way your presence felt safe, even in a world of usernames and pixel avatars. If you’re reading this… thank you. Thank you for being kind. Thank you for being you. I wish I had said more while I had the chance, but maybe this will help make up for that. You mattered to me. You still do. And to those other friends—maybe we only talked once, maybe we were silly in a comment chain, or maybe we shared late-night messages venting about life—I may not remember every name, but I remember the feeling. I remember laughing. I remember crying. I remember feeling like I belonged, even if only for a moment. Some of you drifted, some accounts are gone, and some of you just quietly faded into the background, like stars behind clouds. But I remember the light you gave, even if it was brief. This isn’t just a goodbye—it’s a quiet thank you whispered into the wind. I hope you’re out there somewhere, still creating, still dreaming. And if you ever think back and wonder if you mattered to someone, the answer is yes. You mattered to me.
