When I first joined, I was 10 and didn't need to worry about anything. I could just make stuff and have fun! But, wow, do times change... I didn't think it would become this hard to maintain positivity on this site if I ended up staying here for this long but... I was wrong. I have felt like this many times before, but it has never been so bad that I felt I needed to step away from the site for a little while. But... now it does. My mental health... I'm not sure how it's doing. It could be fine and it could just be me but... I always feel this overarching stress over me, like I've seriously forgot something important and that I am wasting my life away. I feel that things in life have just been getting worse and worse. Not only throughout the internet, but also at home. I will not say much. What I will say is that I believe I am in the middle of a more serious situation then I can handle and that I have many things to learn about who to trust. I also don't think @MagolorIsCool leaving helped either. Yes, I am aware that with how much I have been mentioning it, everyone who is even slightly familiar with me is also slightly familiar with @MagolorIsCool. But I especially feel that her leaving is where things tarted to go downhill. Normally logging into Scratch helps. But not this time. It only feels like it's been hurting me. I think the only reason I go on to this site so much is because I'm not used to not going on here so much. And I think it's finally time that I just... take a break. I doubt this will be a "full" break. I will likely continue logging in and replying to comments. However, during this timeframe, I will not be working on or sharing any projects. I may only do this break for 3 days before I decide that I don't actually wanna take a break. Or it could be a month. I could still log in every day, reading messages, or I could step away during this time and just log out. I'm not so sure yet. Chances are even when I come back, things will not be fully resolved. I'm not doing this because of Scratch itself, I just hope doing this will make things better. I'm sure many of you will understand. There was a point of time where I just didn't post... at all... for like 4 months. But that was because I was lazy. Now is different. I don't really want you to feel bad for me. I have many things I need to work on. I just need time. And probably a lot.
