I think i missed the exact date that this happened, but i feel like i ought to write something here. 10 years is a heck of a lot of time and the fact that i still use this site semi-regularly is pretty crazy. The fact that i've been here for most of my life is crazy. I made this account around the beginning of the summer after 2nd grade. 10 years later i'm preparing for college, registering for courses and looking back on my years in school. I've lost and regained motivation for this site, created hundreds of projects and abandoned most of them, made many friends that i likely won't be able to talk to again, and found myself via this site. If it weren't for Scratch, i wouldn't have learned that i was Neurodivergent, or it would've taken a lot longer to figure out, and i would've felt "broken" for a lot longer. Another important date that occurs around this time is Dragonflydash's birthday, 4 years ago, and this year is the first time since i won that character that she's been dead. It's kinda bittersweet that such important dates, Dragoon's first birthday after her death and a decade of me being on Scratch, are occurring at such a pivotal point in my life. I'm incredibly grateful to anyone who's here to read this post — even if i don't know you ((i was gonna draw something, but ArtFight has just started so i'm saving my drawing power for that. Maybe i'll add something later :) ))
