hey guys! i have most certainly not been active on here... i have a variety of reasons as to why, mainly because of stress :') i won't go into details about the source of said stress, but the fact of the matter is that it meant i wouldn't be on here much at all. i'm really sorry i hadn't given a heads up first :( i feel really bad about that - i'd also be worried if somebody completely disappears without a trace for a month? two months? the point is that it really wasn't fair of me to do that without telling you guys, even if i was feeling ick. now am i leaving scratch? ...yeah. take it from me, i've loved my time on here! i've made amazing friends! i've developed my skills as an artist! but with high school coming up, i don't think i could really handle keeping up with this? i already have so many messages in my inbox and that's already anxiety-inducing. this whole thing has gotten me pretty anxious and it'd take a weight off of my chest to just... leave it all behind. but no, i'm not disappearing off the face of the earth - i have a tumblr! https://melon-dot-jpeg.tumblr.com/ (melon-dot-jpeg) i'm a lot more active on there, and it generally gives me less stress than scratch. so yeah, i'm really sorry folks. i'm an anxious teenager who just needs to calm the heck down before high school starts :') hopefully you won't miss me too much peace out, guys. see ya on the other side B)
