hopefully, when ur reading this, its may 10. its my 2nd bday on scratch( like 2 bdays I have celebrated on scratch),, and I feel so nostalgic.. I'm remembering... of how scratch helped, how it made me overcome my fears and how it improved me. scratch helped me discover who I truly am, and what I like without being constantly judged. ik I have changed and cut ties with people, but I truly believe that what I have done has led me up to this point and whatever mistakes I have made were just destiny. I feel like making bonds with people, online or irl, is incrediblly important. when I open up, I'm actually pretty nice. when I started scratch I was going through a nasty breakup with my only friends and this platform helped me recover. but i've also learnt how to make friends. how to be yourself but still be nice to people. to open up. to be yourself. to talk about things you truly like. to not people-please all the time. to be unique and you. to stop pretending. and more... moreover scratch has been a journey I cant forget. the impacts of this silly coding website are far too many to list. I've made so many friends, so many memories. the people on this site are so sweet, everyone on here... they've made me feel special. here, I can fit in. here people understand me. scratch is where I can receive support and make connections to people with interests like me. and yet, as many times I've tried to leave, it never happens... well maybe it was destiny. maybe this... maybe scratch was meant to be. for all of us... people have made and lost friendships on here. they've made life decisions they've made lasting impacts on people they've gone through their most important events on here. theyve been themselves. and I'm proud of that, I'm proud of this community ( somehow.. ) and I'm happy to be part of this. I'm happy to be a scratcher. thanks guys. thanks for introducing me to songwriting thanks for introducing me to graphic design thanks for introducing me to photography thanks for everything. thanks for being here. for me.
