Leaving

Instructions

hey guys, for those of you checking out this project you have likely noticed I haven’t been nearly as active as I used to be and thats because, well, I haven’t been enjoying scratch that much anymore. Its mostly just be realizing I prefer real life too online and I would rather spend my time with irl friends and family and doing activities than being on scratch or any of the other socials you might know me on. I guess my priorities are just changing and Scratch just isn’t one of them anymore. i honestly didn’t expect to do this any time soon, I expected to finish Monarch, and then leave after Monarch. But after further thought I realized as much as I love my friends on here Monarch is only on chapter one, and I dont want to stay long enough to finish it. I would rather leave it now before anyone gets emotionally attached to the characters. Now for the more long explanation on why Im leaving. Im growing up, Im not old or an adult or even driving, but mentally Im growing out of a lot of phases and into new ones, including scratch. I dont know where Im going long term or what Im doing but I do have a lot planned for the rest of the summer and some stuff for the school year I will be focusing on. I also have some friends I would like to focus on spending time with and someone I would like to know better (I cant date yet but Im slowly getting closer, and yes its a boy, I would happily discuss him with you though if you want before I go >:D) I have a missions fundraiser Im doing soon, along with a bible study Im starting for school. Im also trying to just live more in real life and new hobbies Im enjoying like writing and creating stories which isnt as supported on scratch and honestly I would rather be able to create without the pressure of making something “postable” Im also just tired of checking scratch all the time and last year it was a big distraction from school and other things I would rather not have it keeping me from. It also feels like there isn’t much point of being on scratch without posting, and trying to constantly post stresses me out. I love my friends on here but Im also seeing in a new way that although they will always hold a special place in my heart, aren’t the same to hang out with as the friends I make that I can go shopping with or get a cookie at Chick-Fil-A with or have as a wingwoman when Im afraid to go up to my crush. It just isn’t the same and Im craving less of a “we talk online” relationship with people and more to focus on the “we truly know each other” relationships. I truly love my friends on here though and I wouldn’t be the same without them so before I continue I would like to call out some special individuals. (mostly keeping them short and sweet) Star you are one of the most amazing and talented people I have ever met on here. You are always kind, and thoughtful, and encouraging and I love you so much. Thank you for being my friend <3 Allie you are incredible, you are always so much fun to chat with and your always so kind! I love you so much and I will never forget you <3 Storm you are one of the few people I actually hear from even when Im completely inactive on the posting spectrum <333 you are always there for me, always kind, and so incredible! Im sorry I ghosted some of your messages, I was simply to lazy to reply or I just didn’t feel like typing in that moment. But I love you so much, your incredible and amazing and kind and thank you so much because there are some days I was so sad and you honestly made my day. Doodles your just plain incredible, your so kind, so encouraging, and your stories are amazing! I love you so much and you have been so understanding and wonderful and I love you so much <3 Sage you are so kind, and so much fun, and I just love you <3 your so awesome and I love to chat with you about church camps and concerts and although I haven’t checked in in a while just know I love you so much <3 I know Im missing a ton of people but if you aren’t on here and you think you should be just know it wasnt you not being my friend it was just me being lazy (sorry ToT) and also the fact that Im forgetful at times. Now for a little bit more information on me leaving, Im not leaving right away but in around three or so weeks Im probably gonna be officially gone. Im not deleting my project or account but I am going almost completely inactive. I might check in every now and then to read my favorite comics but I will be mostly inactive. Now here is a slightly more your opinion bit. IF YOU WANT I will create a basic overview of Monarch, I will draw pictures and give as much detail as possible on where it was going to end up along with all the top secret backstory you usually wouldn’t have gotten so please let me know if you would want this or if you would prefer me to just leave lol. It would be my final project if I do it. (continue in credits)
