wow, i can't believe it's already been three whole years of being on scratch! it's been a long while since i've joined this amazing place and i hope to continue ^_^ okay, here's how i came onto scratch ─ my school had introduced scratch in our computer class, i was around 9 at that time and just started 5th grade and i always saw the "sign in" and "make an account" thing and i've always wanted to make an account for fun. i asked my mom if i could and she agreed because she thought it would be educational and she really didn't see the harm but she didn't know at that time how amazing scratch was to me and that little decision changed me a lot. i've made so many friends during these three years, a lot of projects for sure and my very first account was @autumnrosecoder123, it lasted for around 2 years but it got banned around early 2025. i started liking spop in around january of last year and really liked it. i started off with 3 undercover accounts (pls no TT) @__iceprincess, @experimentalgurlie and @-stxriii-. i left scratch for about 5 months but eventually came back on @w0nyluvx_ as aera. and that account went on till @dolliera and then i got some random idea and started @spopwhispers !! while being on that account, i started @ourbluehour, one of my most successful spop group which i'm really proud of ! i eventually made a main and a few more groups, this being my main. and yes my voice sucked in my previous accounts but it somewhat got better than before here... i've had many friends who genuinely helped me learn scratch and trust me, i wouldn't be here without you guys <3 you guys have immaculately helped me in every way possible. my mental health definitely goes up the chart whenever i'm active ; and i feel like you guys are my family because spop and most of scratch is a non-judgmental society and an area where people always help each other vent, have good humor for a little laugh and everything possible. i have had circumstances in where my mom and dad found out about everything going on too ─ they think i'm talking with "strangers". but in reality, i'm talking with the ones who are making my mental health from bad to good. the ones who i love a lot and always will. one thing i wanna say is, thank you for being there for me at my saddest, angriest, happiest and every emotion possible because you were there for me to share it with you <3 generally speaking, a lot of you left scratch and it makes me sad that you guys want to because i could personally never let go. it's become kind of an addiction but i could eventually quit yet i choose not to. many people have been there for me, some left but that's completely okay because we all have our reasons. but for everyone who are there, and for those who aren't.. thank you for being in my life and supporting me always <3 i'm mentioning people i have met mostly during my old accounts because i'm really trying to remember the account names T^T but overall, thank you everyone for making my three years of scratch unforgettable, excited and happy every possible way. i love each and everyone of you out there and always will <3 thank you : (forgot the new account) i definitely missed way more so lmk if i missed u !!
