Hi everyone! So yeah, today's my birthday! I am posting this a couple hours early (3hrs) because I know for some people it's already the 21st! Btw for the contest, I'll be using my birthday day money when I get it. I'm sry for the delay! <33 So if you don't mind, I'd like us to sit back and reflect on our journey here. 1. The start. Now, I started scratch around 2021, now this account was made around the end of March of 2024. Which was a pretty long time ago. My first project was called 'Random songs' which was a stolen music project. I didn't take it down because it was my start, but I will admit I didn't download these songs and just backpacked them. But at least I didn't see start trying to make a game. Lol 2. Trying. I took me awhile to find out what I was "good" at. I tried posting some pretty bad MHA content. Don't get me wrong, my hyperfixation on it is still alive and thriving. I just didn't have the strength to properly post about it. 3. Dress to impress So, I found my 'thing'. At the end of the DTI BRAT update, I joined the DTI community! At first I didn't get what all the hype was about until the Halloween update started, which was when I actually started playing. I played (on average) 3-4 hours a day! And made it so runway queen pretty fast! And I started doing contests to people who couldn't afford gamepasses! But unfortunately, things can be taken for granted... 4. I almost quit. (its quite long, but please read.) Now before you freak out, I have no plans to quit anytime soon! So don't burn your house to the ground! Whenever I throw these contests I mostly don't give due dates because of this: A. I don't enjoy rushing people and not giving them enough time to register their entire. B. I want everyone to finish before I decide on a winner, but if you take over 3 weeks to post your entire, 9 times out of 10 I will not wait for you. C. Whenever I do put due dates, no one is ever patient. I'm currently (as of the 4th) holding one and I've gotten at least 5 comments asking when it ends and if I could hurry up. ~Continue of C, please understand that I don't have the money for it (yet). And will never tolerate being forced into spending what I don't have. And no, I won't be doing a 450 follower contest. Every 100-200 followers I do. 5. Toxicity. On scratch I have and will experience hate. And here are ways I have fought it. 1. Be overly nice! Prompt: "God you try to much!" Answer!: "Awe I'm sorry! But you may get off my profile! Its 100% free! Have a fantastic day/night! :D" 2. Just delete the comment! :D easy and not messy! Now, not all the time will this work, and sometimes the you may just have to ignore it/deal with it. People bring others down to make themselves feel better. Remember, be the bigger person! 6. My plans! Now, don't expect me to post every day but because summer is coming up, but I will be posting a lot more! I will have plans though, orchestra camp, camping w/family, trips, ETC. And remember I still have a life outside of the screen and I have feelings! But lets stop being emotional :') 7. Spoilers! Okay, so this isn't really a spoiler but I will be making an alt that's more on WIPS and other random stuff that don't match the theme of my main! So if you've gotten this far, feel free to drop names! But be sure that their still available first! <3 ~Alt: ~Thank you so much for helping me start my path on scratch and staying by my side! Now, you won't get a age or name of me just yet. Be patient!~ ~Love, CherryBL! Song: Do ya like x resonance (CLEAN) Link?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SasGEukusa0&pp=ygUOZG95YWxpa2UgY2xlYW4%3D <3
