<3 I came out as aroace this year after having a partner for a few months. It was honestly relieving, but has been a stressor for me along with other things going on in my life. I want to shout out my IRL friends here, because I know none of them have Scratch and I'm shy, but I want to tell them how much they mean to me. I love you all. :3 ~~~ A: Oh gosh, what do I even say? We've been friends for so long, and you're probably my oldest one. I know we don't talk a lot anymore, but I want to tell you that I miss you and I will always be here for you. Thank you for supporting me through my identity journey. I still want to play Silksong with you sometime. <3 A: Thank you for everything. I want to tell you I appreciate you bringing me those Panera drinks, and the reason why I haven't accepted them isn't because I don't want them --- it's because I'm socially anxious and don't want to carry it around for everyone to see! I'm working on it. I'll accept the next one you bring, so thank you so much. You make my day. :) A: UGH I'm so sad we don't have class together anymore! I really miss having someone to talk to during AP Precalculus (and the three other classes we had together). I want to hang out sometime after school, but we're busy, so maybe this summer? Curly buddies forever! B: I'm SO sad we have to live so far away. You'll always be one of my closest friends, and I have you to thank for getting me into anime again (Demon Slayer!). I want to visit you during spring break, maybe? We can check out that vintage sticker store you've told me so much about!! C: AHH thank you for everything you've done for me! You are an amazing artist and an amazing person, and I love being around you. I can't wait to bleach-paint shirts with you this upcoming Monday!! I also appreciate you sending me three "good vibes" on Finch every morning, it makes my day better. E: HAPPY BIRTHDAY (*February 12)!! I love hanging out with you, but I have to blame you for my new JJK obsession. I seriously don't know how many hot topic t-shirts you have, but so far I've seen Choso, Toji, Gojo, Vi and probably Geto, too. I look up to your ice skating skills (queen <3), and am so happy you were my first (and last lol) romantic partner. I hope we can still watch Owl House together! I think you'll like Hunter. F: I know we don't talk a lot, but you're such a fun person to be around. I love your sense of style, and I appreciate when you try to include my socially anxious ahh in events, and at your club meetings. Please stop drinking energy drinks, though, I'm concerned for your health with your caffeine intake. >:( S: I know we haven't been friends for as long as you and C (or F) have been, but I'm so grateful to be friends with you. I look up to you for your fashion sense and personality, and have to say I see you as "gender goals", seriously. Let's have that WHA watch party soon!! (I'm always down to talk about lore with you, and I love seeing your art when you come to the Art Show).
