Haha, this is a bit cringe (and late), isn’t it? I joined this site as an 8 year old. I’m 15 now. Pretty wild. It probably changed my life, with all the friends I made and lost. I will always remember those who left. I’m eternally grateful to how much this site has changed my life. Sometimes it wasn’t so great. But either way it was my refuge. I started to be active when I found ToPH because I loved Warriors. And I was 9, then. At 10 some of my friends were treated pretty badly on here. And I received plenty of spite as well. But I chose to brush those memories off because it was a great place when my life was not so great. So thanks, Scratch. Now, I’m living a better life. I don’t really go on Scratch anymore, except for TFC and to talk to Dew. I find myself wanting to create stories, as I have escaped into them my whole life. I have a goal in life now. I’m not leaving. I don’t think I can bring myself to. But there’s not a lot keeping me here currently. Guess I’m getting old /j. Thank you all.
Individual thanks: @byevertigo - we have been friends on this site for four years. You have always been such a good person, and an inspiration. Sen, I am more thankful to you than I can express. I’m glad we met. @Dew_moon - I still remember our first roleplay. Cade was such a scaredy-cat then. And the Orca became his rock. And wow, the Wandering Roses happened. It was so fun, so poetic, and they were so happy. And then the kits, and finally their passing. It was an unforgettable journey throughout 2 years. You are an amazing friend, Dew. Thank you for experiencing the Wandering Roses with me. I don’t have many friends left. But I’ll still honor them: @lettuce_leaves - we used to be friends a couple years back. You were my closest friend back then. Thank you so much. @Kat_taK - you were such a kind person to talk to! I’m sad you’ve left, but it was great to have known you. - You were so nice. We don’t talk a lot nowadays, since neither of us are really active. But it was really fun to talk. I’m glad we were friends. - we met through sen haha. But you were always so nice and friendly. It was fun to talk to you. I guess this part is self indulgent: I want to thank this site for making me a better person. And I want to thank my little self. Life was hard, wasn’t it? But look, we’ve made it this far. Some part of me will always spite you. But another part will always feel sorry, and thankful, to that little child who loved stories.
