i've been putting this off for a while now, but it's come to a point where i need to stop procrastinating and say what needs to be said. for the past few months, i've had little to no motivation to post, comment, or even log in to scratch. every few weeks or so, i'd log in to chat or support my friends' projects, but that's about it. i've been drawing this out because i wasn't ready to accept that my interest in scratch has faded. i've been clinging onto my last bit of hope that i could somehow regain my motivation to post and make a comeback... but it's time for me to accept that my time on scratch has come to an end. i thought a lot about this before finally deciding to post it. i'm really going to miss being on here, but this is a necessary next step i need to take. with my ongoing summer camps and sophomore year starting in just 1 month, scratch is just too time-consuming to be something i can continue to commit to. i regret that i was unable to finish my banner contest, and i apologize to anyone who participated and was waiting for the results :,) as a thank you for joining, i've awarded 5 follows to everyone who made an entry. i know it doesn't make up for where i came up short, but i don't want to leave without acknowledging the hard work and dedication that went into each entry. this isn't a final goodbye. i'll still check in sometimes to say hi or post something small. coding is one of my passions and i love chatting with you guys <3 it's just that i won't be active on a regular basis anymore, nor will i log on frequently. thank you all for the wonderful memories!! i genuinely appreciate all the love for my projects and the special times we spent together. special shout out to rao bao, yoon (imysm), cali the genius, zuzu + all my other friends for sticking by my side and making the darkest of days a little brighter <3 during my time on scratch, i've made memories that i'll cherish forever. fun times in the aes comm, creating projects for the community, and just being silly or fangirling with my friends. i won't forget the memorable times i spent here, and it'll be a chapter i'll always remember. thank you to all of you for supporting my account, for leaving kind comments on my profile and projects, and being there when i needed it most. this is not goodbye, just see you later. :) ♡, ani
