Hi. If you're seeing this chances are you're either 11 or here because of nostalgia. Nice to see you. When I was in fourth grade, I made a scratch account @sciluvcatz for school. When I asked @raikukitty to enter my coloring contest, my art blew up and it really inspired me to keep drawing, which I still do to this day. I started animating and every day I was gaining new followers and friends. It introduced me to creating my own characters and giving them backstories. Making them real. Today, I'm just over a month away from my fifteenth birthday and have completed my first semester of high school. Let me tell you, some people love high school. It's the best four years of their life. For me, not so much. Things have been really rough and have led to a lot of tears, and I'm only halfway through my first year. I never knew people could be so mean. Upon discovering my old Minecraft figurines when I moved, it was like an awakening. It brought me back to all the memories I made here. All the people I knew that I might never talk to again. I'm probably never going to make another Scratch project. I barely even recognize the inside of projects. Everything has changed since I left. I haven't been here in forever. Despite my recent troubles, I've never stopped drawing. I took up singing more. I starred in my school's musical. I was asked to audition for American Idol. I traveled the world and played the piano for hundreds on a stage. It's been an experience, and looking back, I probably would have never done it without you guys. I want to thank everyone I knew here, who shaped me into the person I am today. I want to say thank you to the people I inspired and the people who eagerly awaited every new animation. I want to thank the fantastic artists here who drove me to keep practicing, even if the only image on this project is a badly made doodle of myself that I did in five minutes. I want to apologize to the Scratch team for all the trouble I caused as a dramatic, hormonal kid. I know you guys probably don't trust me and you have every right to feel that way, but I want to thank you too for creating this place where I blossomed into the person I am today. This community made me feel so very loved and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you all! I am still drawing and although I haven't animated in years I hope that one day I'll get back into it. I'm still singing and I'm still playing piano. Before I go, here are some places you can find me. Don't hesitate to shoot me a message! twitter: teacakiess instagram: miilkytea.exe I hope you all lead happy lives, and keep on Scratching! <3 - Sasha
