and why.

Instructions

My first project, and it's a remix of my last. Just felt right. I didn't change a lot about the "speech", so if you've already read it, you don't need to read it again. I used to be on a student account. Because of that, I lost access to account, as my teacher had been inactive for years now. I made that 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 leaving. I don't mind loosing access to the account that much. The plan was to leave anyways. However this makes it a little more difficult to say where I'm going after this, and have people actually know it's me. And, it just makes it harder to reach people in general. I hoped to link any socials I would have on my main 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, using an alt. Like this one. The original project has more linked. 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 that account, and this site in general. That 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
