I've been on Scratch for 3 years and 8 months, though many accounts. I had created my first account that long ago, and had started to learn Scratch. I then moved to @coolthingsforyou. From there, I advanced and created some games, cringey, but because I was oblivious to this fact, I coded. Finally realizing the absolute weirdness of coolthingsforyou, I moved to @Hexagonal_246. I grew a lot, learning some advanced coding methods. I really enjoyed that account, even though some of my advances were still unshared projects. So then, being the person who I was, I finalized my Hexagonal brand by adding dashes to either end, seeing as @Hexagonal was claimed. I finally came to the account before you: @-Hexagonal- I like this account. I created nice vector works. I was heavily inspired by many Scratchers. There's @InfinitScratch, who claims I worship him too much (that's not true... though I mean you're an interesting Scratcher ;) .) @SleepSheepadoodle's artwork is very inspiring, some of my work being an amateur version of hers. And @Vexza, who I've seen from the very start (I'm their second comment.) And @Minisun. And @Vectorii. And @Hanzhe (cak.) And all of those other wonderful Scratchers that I'm supposed to fan over but I haven't (@Annulus, @Skyset.) This past year, I tried to become as good as all of them. I kept comparing myself to others, hoping I was getting good.But you don't get good by looking at others. Whenever I open Scratch with the small segments of time I get, I always end up looking at other people's stuff and not creating something. Eventually, because I was so uninspired, I ended up on Minecraft or YouTube instead of Scratch. I played BedWars and survival Minecraft. I watched videos. To be honest, Scratch would be a better choice. You actually get something out of it, something to be proud of. Me, bed wars has got me addicted so that I haven't been building on Minecraft much. Back to . Nice account. Can't even make myself a logo (shoutout to :D ), but I like it. Nothing special. But it's good. Then two days ago, I went onto my account page and saw "Joined 12 months ago." That got me wondering. I went to scratchstats.com/-Hexagonal- and found I joined November 24th, which was two days ago's tomorrow and today's yesterday. Well. That surprised me. I thought I should probably go and make a project about that, but then real life came in and said no. So I come back a day later and create it. I must say, surprised me. I didn't expect it to get this far. I have 125 followers (129 actually, but four are mine.) I never even expected to reach 100 followers. Probably should've created a project for that as well, but life. So, here I am, typing this at hour 8783. One more hour from now and it'll be hour 8784, a whole day after 8760 hours, the number of hours in one year and therefore the number of hours -Hexagonal- has existed. Not sure what to say. I have achieved 125 followers in 1 year. Not bad. Could do better, but I think I'm just gonna ignore all of that for now and create stuff. Get good. Yeah. I'm not really that good, no point comparing myself anymore. I'll wait until I actual achieve. So thank you. Thank you for an amazing year on Scratch. Thank you for this journey that I wish to continue. *swallows* Thank you for everything. I wish to continue this, but with more things actually getting done. Let's extend -Hexagonal- past hour 8760... if only for a few hundred more hours. Hour 8760. 8783 now, but... 8760 is a good number. hour ┌─┐─┐┌─ ┌─┐ ├–─┤ │ ├─┐│ │ └─┘ │└─┘└─┘
