I'm on a student account. Because of that, I will lose access to this account soon, as my teacher has been inactive for years now. I made this account for a coding class. Which I failed, because I just never figured it out. I don't mind though, art is more fun. I recycled the account for a science class, to make a project about the water cycle. Then, the account became a roleplay account, about my characters and a way to talk to my friends. I learned how to draw here, I learned so much from here. And now, I'm going to lose it all. I don't mind much. The plan was to leave anyways. However this makes it a little more difficult to say where I'm going after this. I hoped to link any socials I would have here in July. Plenty of time to move fully off platform, find a new platform, get rooted there, and to reach the most of my former / inactive friends. Most of them have summer off, whether it's because of school, college, or other reasons. They'd check here then, most likely. If at all. Because of that, I wanted it to be July. That's also when I would be most active on that new platform as well. But now, I want to make it clear, that I will have to post the socials in my comments now. I have a few alts, which I will have linked below. If I, for some reason, can't comment it here, check there. Why am I leaving? 3 main reasons. 1: I'm too old for this site. There are kids here that are far too trusting. I don't want to be part of the reason they think it's okay to talk to strangers online, especially ones older than them. This is a kids site, not an adult one, and I want to keep it that way. 2: This site is limiting. This site is the reason why I know how to draw, how I learned to write, (and I struggled with that for years,) this site has given me so much. But now it's not enough. I need somewhere to make art, this can help with that, but this place isn't intended for it. It was, but is no longer, good enough for me. Along with that, this site isn't the easiest to share things with. I have to individually message people when I want them to see something I did. No stranger will ever find me. That's not a problem, but it just goes to prove that this isn't social media. It's a safe taste for kids, and I just need more now. 3: I'm done with this account. This account went through roleplays, stories, character sheets, hacker-drama, a gacha-kid phase, and more. I want to treasure that. My memory isn't that great, it varies in moments. I know that I'll forget about this place. But should I come back, I don't want to see the works I made as an adult. I don't want the feed to be flooded with recent memories. I want to be able to look back, and see my childhood. Clear as day against the present. I want to preserve it. I don't want to twist it into something to match a different person than I was when I first made it. This account was mine, but now it isn't, and I want to keep it that way. Plus it would help the adhd diagnosis as "she did have signs when she was a kid", lol
My alts are @CantHaveNiceThings @DH5C However, due to the password reset that they did not email or send notice of, there is a new account. @SpitefulDot Once I post the socials either here or on one of those alts, I'm gone for good. I will post it in July, no sooner. If you are too young, or simply not mature enough to follow me to whatever site I'm going to, stay here. You can follow me when you're older, but don't until then. And don't rush growing up either, it took me 6 years to do this. I hope to see you when we get up there. <3
