Hey, it's been awhile. I know I've been gone for a long time, but for your benefit, read what I have to say and how i'm going to be handling my unfinished projects. Trust, u gotta let me cook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been 3+ years on this platform - yet still I remember my first time on Scratch. I used to make those HORRIBLE FNF projects (that i still laugh about to this day), and actually had some sort of child-like freedom, in which my only worry was failing a 5 point test. But as I grow older, I realized that this sense of freedom doesn't last forever, and that things will only get harder from here. Over time, you get more work, you get burned out to the point of collapse, and held up to the expectation that you need to be picture perfect (from my personal experience). But you don't need to feel this way. Perfection is defined as "the state or quality of being flawless, complete, and without defects, representing the highest attainable degree of excellence or proficiency". Which even though I bet we ALL strive to be great some day, everyone has to do different things to get there. You will make mistakes and sometimes choose wrongly. You will have people yell, and ridicule you for things out of your control. To some, this may seem like a higher being trying to block your path to happiness. Trust me, I used to be one of those people, but honestly, it's really not. These setbacks are sort of like a Kahoot. You answer a question wrong, and later, that same question pops up and you remember how to solve it to get the right answer. What I'm really trying to say here is that these barriers are opportunities to get things right in life. Even though people say mistakes prove you to be a "failure" or "ignorant" about trying to be a model for success -please for the love of God, don't listen to them. As long as you're doing your hardest and trying to be a better person, you'll be just fine. Oh and also, PLEASE, don't do something that you feel is wrong, regardless of what others say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now on freedom: All I mainly have to say is that you NEED to live your life to the fullest. I understand that schoolwork and pressure to make people happy are stressful and heavily demanding, but PLEASE... Always put your mental, and physical health first. Make time for hanging out with family and friends, go outside and see nature every once and awhile, eat like a normal person and exercise at least once a week so you don't regret it when you're 50, and overall - just make sure you're happy. If you have anything in the way of that, screw whatever that is, you have better things to do. But hey, that's just my take-away, you can live life however you want, but please just place this advice in the back of your mind. For my reassurance and your sanity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Plans for the Future: So as of rn, i'm gonna be taking a huge break from scratch to be focusing on other career pathways (like my yt which you should sub to), and just myself in general. Expect "Alone" and "Gingerdash" to be moving slowly progress wise. I'll try to work on them while I have the motivation, but expect em to release after GTA6 or sum. But aside from that, thank you all for the great show you have provided me, especially to friends I made on this platform: (or ) (or ) Sorry If what was so long, just have so many to thank. Welp, that's it, I hope yall have a BLESSED and AMAZING life, and for the last LAST time... "Goodbye goofy goobers." -klepp (formerly known as asdfland29)
