goodbye ♡

Instructions

I've enjoyed my time on scratch but now that I have graduated its time I part ways. As I enter college I will remember scratch and the people I've met fondly! You are all super awesome people and I hope you continue to be so. I'll be studying behavioral and forensic psychology, look for me in the field! I hope to acquire my doctorate one day wow 9 years is a long time. this website has truly been apart of my life in so many ways good and bad, without it I never would have met bex or soph or anyone I hold close to me online. my genuine advice to any aspiring artists or those struggling in general is to never give up. I know its overused and seems like a hard thing to do but if you give up you'll never know what you can accomplish on your own, its hard to keep going when things get hard but if you push forward you will find yourself again. I had a different type of goodbye project I planned on sharing but I've chosen not to give up. I've chosen to live and I hope that if you are struggling on staying alive you see this as a sign to keep living. You are loved and you are needed just as I. Thank you for the memories especially in the scratch JJK community everyone is so nice and has the COOLEST ocs!!!! It's also fun to see hetalia slowly creeping its way back into noteriaty on this site especially since it was big during my first years here. ---- on a negative note I'm leaving too because scratch's moderation team and community has changed in such toxic ways. they silence artists but keep duds who threaten others over a difference in opinion. The algorithm has become unfair to new artists and it takes so long for someone to gain any kind of following which is sad because there are SO MANY talented underrated artists. I miss when scratch had a feature that let you look at newly posted projects of everyone on the site. I hope scratch takes time to fix its site and actually make it accessible to new artists. I know the ai implemention isn't generative BUT ITS STILL AI IN A SITE MEANT FOR KIDS TO LEARN TO CODE. get it out NOWWWWW!!!!! I also hope they crack down on ed8trs and those wastes of space -- anyways, thank you for everything. I'm very happy to have a community here and will pop in randomly to answer messages or look at mutual's posts. ^^ I'll miss everyone so keep sending me messages!! thank you for supporting me always! , love RiverRatz
