Ello mah lovely paints! Ik this is long, but plz read it all! I am writing this post today with a heavy heart, but also with a lot of love, to let u all know that I need to step away from Scratch and take a short break for a little while. Lately, balancing everything in my day-to-day life has become incredibly overwhelming, and I have hit a point where I need to listen to my mind and body. Schoolwork is piling up faster than I can keep up with, my stress levels have been through the roof, and I really need to take a step back to focus completely on my mental health and emotional well-being. To be completely honest and vulnerable with u guys, I am running entirely on empty. I am so exhausted that I desperately need to catch up on sleep—it has gotten to the point where you can literally see my veins from tiredness.. Along with getting sleep, I really want to use this time to unplug from screens, breathe, and spend some meaningful, quality time with my family to heal and recharge my batteries. Being part of this community and sharing my passion with all of u means the absolute world to me. Every single one of my paints brings so much joy, light, and inspiration into my life. I want to assure you that this is only a temporary pause, and it will be a short break. I am not leaving for good, and I promise I won't be gone for too long! I just need a brief moment to heal so I can return to u all with fresh energy, big smiles, and lots of new creativity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your endless kindness, your constant support, and for understanding why I need to take this time for myself. U are all so incredibly special to me. Please promise me that you will take good care of yourselves while I am away, too. Sending you all the biggest hugs, and I will see you very soon! ✨ ~Gracy~ Edit (5/19/26): I probably won't be active May 21- start of school....I know, that's a long time, and the reason why my break is that long is...personal. I promise I will be back! This is NOT PERMANENT!! I love you all and I will miss you!! ~Gracy~
For my S-pop groups: I'm sorry about the break! Ik I was supposed to tell you, and I hope most of the groups I'm in can see this! Sorry again! ~Gracy~
