I'm probably gonna start like, ACTUALLY distancing myself from using Scratch. I know I said it like, bajillions of times, but this time I'm probably being genuine. See, I have been using Scratch for nearly 6 years now, and I've changed very much as a person. I've matured a considerable amount, changed identities a lot, become a way better artist and animator than in the beginning... A lot of things also changed FOR me. I've met a lot of people through Scratch itself, but I've lost or reduced contact or intentionally cut ties with a large number of these people. And I barely even use Scratch anymore, unless we count Turbowarp. You see, Turbowarp is much more comfortable to use, since it has a 16:9 ratio option, you can actually resize the scene, and has multiple additions Scratch doesn't, like tweening, meaning that if you use Scratch, you have to make a whole new script just for, let's say, a smooth slide-in animation. I also want to be a bit better at using Wick Editor and FlipaClip, because you can't always use Scratch, and I can't even use Adobe Animate anymore since I switched to Linux, and I don't wanna switch back to Windows for safety reasons... Yeah. Also, I used to use Scratch quite a lot for art too, right? Well, things have changed. Ever since 2022, I've been using IbisPaint X, which is a way more professional tool for art. It has more options that can enhance your drawings to make them look better, which is very helpful because I'm not a very good artist myself... I mean, I wouldn't call my art "bad", just unprofessional. Besides, I used to use Scratch a lot for school purposes, a purpose that has, since 2021, been obsolete because in 7th grade, we switched to Python, in 8th grade - Delphi, and now in high school, I'm using C++, a way more professional code language. Also, I relate Scratch to a lot of problems I've had, and those were, for the most part, a mistake on MY end. If I weren't so obnoxious, this could've all been prevented. In 8th grade and for a short period afterwards, I was at my absolute lowest both behavior-wise and mental health-wise. I want to cut away from all of this and leave that in the past, as well as all of the drama I've been through up to until now. Obviously, I'm not saying all the drama was completely MY fault, but I have to admit that most of the time, I am the one to blame for the most part. However, I'm not saying the drama was a completely bad thing, either. I believe that all the mistakes I have made within my time on here helped me learn and become a more grounded, mature person. Now I want to focus more on myself as a person, improve my skills (like art), and my grades, too. You see, in just 13 months, I'll be writing the matura, which, if you don't know, is a set of exams written at the end of high school and (optionally) technical high school in Poland. I really want to pass the matura, especially the English matura and the mathematics matura, meaning I'm gonna have to study more. I'll probably have left this platform by the end of 2026. If you still want to keep in touch with me, you can hit me up on the platform with the same name as the MLP character. That's likely all I have to say. Thank you for your time and peace out.
