__________ It's been six years I've been on this site and here I am. It's interesting to see how devoted I was to this site all those years ago. Participating in contests, MAPs, making AMVs and other small projects—seems quite a lifetime ago. Leaving everything behind has encouraged me to look back on the past years, especially how great you all have been to me and how much fun my time on this site once was. But I guess good things must eventually come to an end. As I progressed in art and as a person as time went by, I found myself coming back less and less to this site. For the past couple of months I've put off leaving entirely, even promising myself I'd come back eventually. I even made a whole new account I could return to and a plotline for a comic I could write on here when I felt I was ready. But I think I'm ready to finally walk away from here. I can't thank this site enough for what it's done from me. It's uncovered a hidden passion I'd never be able to discover if I'd never discovered Scratch—art. From drawing misshapen Golden Retrievers to characters like Callidus I grew to love, it's amazing seeing how far I've come. Mostly, I can't thank you all enough. Friends, supporters, or just those who cared enough to follow me or like my projects—you've all kept me going. Without you guys, I'm sure I would have put down my pen and walked away from it all, never to continue drawing or keep improving. Showing you guys my works and receiving your feedback has given me a purpose to draw. That, I'm sure, is what I'll miss most. I created this account in elementary school after a technology teacher introduced me to the world of coding. Although I learned so much more from Scratch, I'm no longer an elementary school child. In fact, I'll be off to college in a few years. Growing up has allowed me to progress in art, especially on this site, but it comes with its own challenges. I have dedications to school and my own personal life to make. I have friends I want to spend time with. I'd love to push my limits and continue to draw and animate on this site. But I'm just one human. I'll be sad to see my time on Scratch come to an end, especially since I was so sure as a youngster I'd never leave this site. I, however, was young, and I've matured much since then. But is this the last you'll be seeing of my work? Not in a million years. I've been developing my art to release a series on LINE Webtoon because I want to release webcomics reguarly. And even though I'm leaving Scratch, I'd still appreciate all and any of your support, from anything to a couple of dollars to just a small like. All of you have kept me going for this long, and I can't ever be able to thank any of you enough. And even though I've moved on from this website, I'll continue to work hard in all that I do. Thank you all so much for your endless love and support.
