Heya~! for the last time..... It is with a very heavy heart that I write this. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to say this, and I’ve realized there’s no easy way. Today will be my last day active on Scratch. Looking back, I remember the exact moment I joined—the absolute thrill of making my very first sprite move with a simple move 10 steps block. I never imagined that a simple block-based coding site would become such a huge part of my life. I’ve spent countless hours debugging, remixing, and collaborating with so many of you. I’m so proud of the projects we built together, from animations to platformer to music to art. The thrill of just getting a kind comment from someone I didn’t know, meant the world to me. I’ve learned so much about creativity, patience, and community. I will always cherish the friendships I made here, the constructive feedback on my projects, and the feeling of belonging to such a welcoming, creative place. You all inspired me to keep learning. Thank you for being an amazing part of my journey. I will miss the sound of the ‘backpack’ closing and the excitement of hitting the share button. ~Sincerely TaliaOfTheStars
