I've been here for 7 years. seven. years. I'm almost 16. 7 years is almost HALF of my whole life. I've laughed and I've cried and i've had so many great and terrible memories here but my activity is starting to diminish when crystals is over I'll be leaving scratch. I won't delete my account, I'll obviously check in every once and a while but I will hardly post. When it's over, it's over. It'll be time to move on. CoWI might move offsite but I'm unsure. I'll give more details about where I'll be going when it happens so I won't be gone forever! I still want to keep in touch with the wonderful people who have supported me for so long, and I'm gonna be an artist for my career so I'm not gonna just disappear! I love you guys so much! This isn't goodbye! we still have a ways to go! but I thought I'd let you know of my plans for the future so that it doesn't come as a shock when it's time for me to leave the insanity I went through with all the messages and popularity at 11 years old during covid has died down a lot, and with it my motivation, and my bullies. I learned how to be mature about people who disrespect others, or don't follow rules due to all of this, and I was so grateful for all the love and attention, I couldn't stop drawing! I couldn't let you down! but it was exhausting. People told me, at 11, that they hated me. People told me, at 12, that I ruined their life. People told me, at 13, that I should burn in h3ll. People copied and impersonated and spammed and stole from a middle schooler trying to make friends. I still think about all the stress I went through. I could handle it easily now, but I was just a kid, and I wasn't used to constant, constant drama and abuse like this. It's not good for you. please be kind and patient to people you meet here. Most people are just creative kids trying their best. Heck, I almost gave up 4 years ago when things got bad. Imagine if I just stopped drawing, right then and there. Your words matter. Your choices DO matter. don't be a jerk, ok?
TL;DR: I'm not leaving until crystals is done! Some of you are still here from day one. Some of you started following me yesterday. Either way, I love you! I'm forever grateful for your support! I couldn't have stayed determined without you! <3
