i never ever thought this day would come, but im fully leaving scratch and im doing this because i know that its the right choice for me no matter how much i tell myself to stay, because the truth is that i do want to leave. this has nothing to do with anything that anyone said or did, its fully just because im ready to leave and for good this time. ive wanted to leave for so long and have been planning this but wasnt ready to actually do it until now. but i realized i cant hold it off anymore, i need to leave because its just wrong to be one here when im not as motivated as i used to be and when im not liking any of this anymore. the two main reasons im leaving are school and the second one is just because this isnt good for me. school is already so hard, esp when things are starting to get serious and so much of the time ill stop all my work to read msgs from people who i dont even know irl. i always had to choice to giv myself breaks - no one was ever forcing me to stay, but i just became way too involved and there is no escape from that, except for leaving. this just isnt the same as it used to be, things have changed. to many messages, yet all my friends on this site have been slowly drifting away. just too much to handle at this point. this is my choice and has nothing to do with you guys, i just need space from all this. the "im taking a break and being ia" just wasnt enough for me - i want to fully be gone. this isnt easy though, it took so much of me to do this. you guys mean so much to me. literally each and every one of you is so freaking amazing and i will miss you forever and ever because there was and still is something so special about all of you. we are all just people coming on a kids coding site with fake names but we built something so unreal and so amazing. something i will never forget and will always cherish. im so so thankful for the 4+ years ive spent on here talking to you and having the time of my life, even if i did waste some time, it was worth it. you guys are unbelievably kind and just overall incredible. notes inside for my friends btw lygsm <3 + ill be doing once a month check-ins for the next year + leaving date is august 19th + socials inside the proj ily guys and will never forget any of these amazing moments ive shared with you all lysm, este
