Goodbye~ -------- Wait- don't be sad! I'm not leaving because I'm upset or having problems or anything sorrow. I'm just simply moving on. As of today, Scratch has been like a second home to me for two years and seven months, though varying through different accounts. Two years and seven months ago, I was in elementary school eager to begin my new after-school coding class. I was seated in my school's computer lab. The teachers gave an introduction of what we were going to be learning and how. I sat and watched them, fascinated that such things could be done so easily. Finally, it was our turn to begin coding. I sat in my chair, quite confused at what we were supposed to be doing. I couldn't figure out how to get the coding blocks into the repeat control! The girl next to me was kind enough to help me, and from then on I excelled. The teachers would sometimes use my projects as an example for what our projects should look like. I believe I was or was close to top of my coding class. Then school was out, and coding classes came to an end. I decided to continue using Scratch, but for different purposes. I created my own account and made different projects. I got into digital art and animation. Two years and seven months later, it's finally my time to leave. I have lost interest in these things. I've moved on to photography and the real world. For the longest time, Scratch was the place where I could be something that I wasn't. For the longest time, I lived two lives: one, sad and serious, and the other, here, joyous and fun. I loved my time spent here. I was here through the recolor war. I was here when cyberbullying came out of hand. I am here while LGBT+ is making their stand. And now, I am satisfied enough to leave behind a happy and peaceful Scratch world. Goodbye, everyone. I may run into you in the future. Sayonara. Arrivederchi. Farewell~
