=================== ITS TIME =================== Okay, wow, i imagined I would have something planned out for this, but it seems like...I dont, not really i guess? i dont know, im just gonna say everything i need to here, because before you all just assume everything just ends here and that i'll just be gone for good, theres to this than me just... Leaving the site for good yk? I'm gonna try to explain what i've learnt, what I need, and what I want from now on, now that its over. Man...I genuinely cannot believe its been 2 years of me being in the SOSC already, it feels like it was just a couple of months ago since ive met all of you guys and I csnt believe I was even given the opportunity to even be good friends with the people ive always looked up to yk? And im so grateful for it, im grateful for everything, im happy thst even at my lowest I was still able to connect to ONE community..I remember the days where I was like actually DEPRESSED and couldn't do anything nor take care of myself for days, I couldn't even grt out of bed, and the only thing thst was honestly keeping me going/keeping me alive was the SOSC and I remember how supportive everyone was being and how after everything and how after everything we would like vc and do stupid stuff and I'd always love it and...I want everyone to know that I appreciated all of it like A LOT, and im sorry if I dont say thst more because I do mean it...I knoe theres like this stigma or whatever where its considered "corny" to say hoe much you love your friends ESPECIALLY when theyre online but ion really care anymore tbh, I LOOOVEEEE my sosc friends!!!! Theyre the best and they'll always have a huge place in my heart As grateful as I am for the SOSC, I know that..I need to move on, that i need to focus on my life outside scratch, that i need to stop being so attached, because as much I love everyone here, I know that if i stay here for an extended amount of titme, I wont ever leave, I wont ever move on, i wont ever grow. Its like...Ive been stuck in a place where everyone my age around me (both in the sosc and out of the sosc) are growing, are moving, are going forward with their lives and im still...me, im still attached to the past and what things used to be because those fonded memories I had were the only things keeping me together, and i see it everyday. I think my breaking point for this was when I asked the SSC commenters if they remember the ROSS era or at LEAST the pml drama and..No one did except a few people, and the few people that did weren't in the other eras i mentioned and thats when I realised that..The sosc really IS changing, its changing quickly and everyone has already moved on, and also that...Its just not for me anymore, not because people have moved on, not because some people dont remember any dramas or anything, but because I dont really connect to the comments as much as I used to. I look at the SSC comments and I see people i don't recognise, I see people that are WAYYY younger than me, ive seen new gangs and new friendgroups that have formed that I had no idea about. And im not saying that the fact that the community is growing into something new is a BAD thing its just...Its just not for me anymore, its like everything has moved on already and I cant keep with what's happening, and...I have to move on too. Right now my life has been going in a good place mostly, Ive been getting good grades, ive been applying to universities, ive been applying to scholars, and im going to graduate early to go to an internship about health care work and stuff! And though things arent perfect, theyre good enough and I know I can be even better and do even greater. I've come a long way with everything, and with me being extra busy and stuff and trying to focus on what i currently have in my life I'm not gonna be able to do the things i used to on scratch/ off-site. But even so, even though I'm quitting, i still wanted to do a few last things, I wanted to really be able to say goodbye. Okay its getting REALLY late and im getting tired I gotta summarize this quick, But basically with me going away from the Scratch Website today for GOOD, there were still things i never got to finish/do, and there are still things I wanna do now. I KNOOWWW WHAT YOURE THINKING BUT LISTEN TO ME. "But remotez..I thought you said you were done for good!" Well, yes, I still am, im never gonna interact with the SSC again, or even use scratch a lot for that matter...BUUTTT, Listen to me, because I know if I just left like this without doing anything that would be BORINGGGGGG. Like for goodness sakes im REMOTEZ im supposed to do BIG stuff!! So im thinking of Posting my LAST 15 PROJECTS before I post my "end credits" and Leave for GOOD! [read bottom comment]
