hey guys so...life has been pretty difficult in general. I think I need to take a break from scratch, especially as the school year is ending. I want to be more grounded in real life, with my irl friends. And spop is just hard to navigate, ykwim? It's really stressful, and I think I'm going to take a break. For about a month, I'll be ia. I'll try to finish lines, but if I don't (like for an svs), that means i'm fine with dropping out. same goes for on @KeeperLinh, though I have found that I feel less stressed after I log on there and its just a better environment for me I guess? after a month, i'll decide what's best for me. I might *try* to leave permanently, or i'll see if coming back is better. once i'm back, i'll post another proj. and every day, I'll go to api.scratch.mit.edu/users/Lilac_Vocals/messages/count to check my messages. at the end of the day, if I have any, I will check them. once each day. and I'll respond if they're important. I'll be a bit active on bl, too (my bl user is the same as this scratch user) feel free to spam me lol at 3pm....that's when my hiatus will officially start. though I am sad about leaving for a bit...i'm also happy to start fresh, you know? I wish I could've made more friends in spop (if I even have any), but everyone has been so kind to me and i'm grateful for that <3 I have a few messages for people (some people, I don't know you personally, but still) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ghostlings (@qwiell, @biggestkoreafanever, @aerivyn, @jiyuofficial, @ASOUE_VFD_SNICKET thank you guys so much for accepting me into the ghostlings (even though I technically submitted the form late TT). It's been really fun working with you guys and just chatting. And I'm excited for the new concept that qwi has been thinking of! You guys have actually really inspired me. I think ygs are the first spoppers I've ever met...thanks <3 the ones below will count for your individual messages, bc its not just the ghostlings as a whole aeri - you're so relatable and funny and kind, I really love interacting with you Maggie - you're so fun and outgoing and instantly made me feel welcomed <3 jiyu - i've really never seen much of you, but from what I have seen I know that you are such a sweet person iseul - instantly warm and welcoming, you're such a beautiful and unique person. qwi/lannie - your music has inspired me so much and you're just an amazing person (as all of you are) <333 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- miqu () actually...idk. you've just really been an inspiration to me. your kind and fun personality (and your amazing voice lol) caught my attention, and I do love talking to you. keep on being you <3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mary ) ) oh, Mary. You're one of the first people I met on scratch who shares the same/similar love of rock as I do. it was so so so fun talking to you. but I understand why you had to leave. i miss you <3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tsion () I was so sad when you had to leave. I don't really know you, and you don't really know me, so my comments probably sounded weird. but you have such an influence on the spop community. we were doing so well when you were here, and then you left. I love your confident, sweet, kind, silly personality and I'm glad you're back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reese (), Ruby (), Blythe ): my wonderful sisters yes.
