good morning! (slight tw) as many are aware, i haven’t been too active on scratch as of late. i’ve given a handful of reasons in the past, such as about 2 months ago commenting that i had big irl problem to deal with involving me, a family member of mine, and a court case. (once again, i wont give too much detail as to what happened so that scratch doesn’t ban me for talking about sensitive topics, as it involves SA.) thankfully, that problem has since been resolved and i’ve been given justice. since then, i’ve been incredibly burnt out. my self esteem has been lowered by a lot, i’ve refused to come in contact with anyone besides immediate family and close friends, i’ve lost a lot of interest in things i once was passionate about, and I’ve become clinically depressed. on top of that, i’ve been very stressed with things like employment, driving, and early college. i don’t particularly enjoy talking about my personal life in detail, but all of that and more have been weighing on my shoulders for the past few months. do not fret! i’m not leaving scratch or anything like that. i have been taking the past few weeks to work on myself, put more effort into my education, and socialize more. i have a car now, and i’m now taking early college courses for fine arts/music. art as a whole is still a big passion of mine as i can proudly say i’ve been taking time to go to conference-type meetings, conventions, and small festivals around my country about all different kinds of art (short/cinematic film, music, illustration, animation, etc.). a bunch of big important people know my name and face. yay! with these recent improvements, i hope to be active on scratch again. i have TONS of art payments to complete for people, so i will be prioritizing those first. afterwards, expect content from me! thank you
