Hey sugars (UPDATE 3/13/26: I’m going to delete my account. I’m so sry. Maybe I’ll be back one day. Someday. Goodbye everyone I will miss you so much!) Tmrw (December 4th) is going to be my last day on scratch I’m so sorry REASON ONE: I recently read a leaving post from a scratcher (I forgot who) but they said something that really stuck with me It basically said you wear your mask all the time because no one wants to hear “actually I’m really tired today” or “[insert loved one here] died” because our society is just built that way On the fact that everyone is “fine” But the “fine mask” cracks And it can’t crack forever One time that you say “I’m fine” has to be the breaking point And what happens when your mask breaks and slips off? What happens in this community people have built? You’re suddenly different and weird becaus you’re not what everyone wants you to be Because you’re showing your real self And the world in 2025 just sees you as a blockage in the “I’m fine” flow of things This really spoke to be because as I’ve grown older. I changed myself (not a lot but a little bit) to fit everyone else’s expectations. My teachers My friends My family My classmates The list goes on and on But what happens if you change yourself too many times? You could forget who you really are Or you could be overwhelmed That’s how I feel right now So from now on, I’m not going to fit the mold everyone made for me I’m going to be myself Even if I lose friends for it. Those ppl shouldn’t have been my friend in the first place I suggest you do too But I can’t make decisions for you YOU have to make the choice to be someone else or yourself Oscar Wilde once said “be yourself. Everyone else is already taken” So YOU (yes you the one reading this rn) be YOURSELF. Maybe you don’t laugh at things even if they’re funny because someone once said that your laugh is weird. LAUGH ANYWAY Maybe you stop wearing this one shirt to school because one girl didn’t like how it looked WEAR IT ANYWAY Don’t listen to other ppl. Just yourself. (Unless it’s like the law then listen to it ofc) Some ppl on scratch are so t0x!c. ITS A FR3@K!NG KIDS WEBSITE!! Be kind to one another!! It’s the best thing to do. Some ppl just don’t understand it. And there’s some ppl who even understand that they’re bullies and impersonators (Not naming names but…) and they don’t even care! They continue on KNOWING it’s hurting people’s feelings. And idk what you think or what the creators of scratch think but I’m pretty sure that scratch was not created to be used to cyber bully! So that’s one of the reasons I’m leaving. REASON 2: Scratch is taking up my life Literally I spent the last 3 HOURS on scratch And that’s just ridiculous I don’t even have to explain myself. So I’m leaving. Goodbye For those who will get the ref: I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree
