hi guys, cutting right to the chase, if you cant tell from the empty and barebones profile, im leaving scratch. i have a variety of reasons, some of which are out of my control, and some of which were completely in control, and i dont feel comfortable enough expressing all the reasons that lead to this decision, but to keep it brief, some stuff has happened that has kinda made me realize ive outgrown this place a lot. and while i have a lot of good memories from here, its caused me more stress than anything, to be honest. and said stress has lead to me hurting others, which is completely my bad, and im so so so sorry for everyone i may have affected due to my outbursts from that, but in general said stress would be nonexistent if i just… yknow… took a step back. i joined scratch when i was 9 years old, and im 14 now, obviously a lot has changed about me and how i react to situations and the stuff i can handle. im trying to be a better, more mature person, and this pressure held my growth down and kept it stagnant. but i will never regret joining this website or joining all the communities i was in. i love all the people ive met from the art communities, or the sosc back in 2022, or tfcrp, but its definitely time to move on. i want to thank everyone so so so much for all the support they’ve given me throughout the years, whether that is through my art endeavors or something else entirely, just following me is a huge sign of support and i want to thank all of you for that, your kindness is forever appreciated. i wont be gone forever, i cant *not* promise i wont pop in occasionally to showcase some art, but i definitely wont be active. if you want to see me or continue talking to me, i have the usernames for most of my socials in my bio, you can try and find me from there. i still want to be able to continue talking to everyone because you all are the absolute best but i just think itd be better for both me and the people around me if my presence isnt on scratch. again, thank you so much for all the memories. its just time for me to turn that page in the book of life instead of rereading it over and over again and hoping something will play out differently. i will continue to attempt to improve and change with time and i promise i wont forget any of you for how much you all mean to me :) goodbye, and until next time. ♥️ (the art featured is something i drew a few weeks ago of freesmart from bfdi)
