the reason why im leaving scratch for now is because not only is it hard to really feel like im getting progress on here, but because life for me is hard. its hard living in america right now due to political stuff, and i am just not happy much anymore. i do love scratch, i really do, but its hard to love something that feels like it doesn't love me back. life for me right now is a big struggle. i live in a bad time right now and im just trying to get some things off my mind, scratch being one of them, i always check my mail on here still knowing that it'll probably just be my friends but i continue to do it because it makes me feel a bit happier. i don't wanna really deal with stuff right now and for me, it's just getting harder. im probably saying the same thing over and over, but thats how life feels, for me, the same bad things over, and over, and over, and over again. my chromebook from school is really my only way to be online due to my lack of money and because im not really allowed technology due to my strict mother. i got my phone taken away, money getting harder to get, and life just getting harder to live day after day. i love everyone and i truly wish people could be happy and live in unison, but sadly, that couldn't be further from reality. everything is just hard and i don't wanna deal with things anymore. i am going to try to get through this situation, but it'll require hope and strength. i love you guys. emotional, mental, and physical things happening in america are making it hard for me and my family. goodbye for now guys. <3 i love you scratch and the community in it. bye. i will be online sometimes tho.
