Hey guys, sorry for disappearing from this account for almost 4 years! A lot happened, so scratch became less of a priority over time for me, plus I had some bad memories I wanted to leave behind. It was sort of an intentional silent hiatus, and I don't know how many of y'all are still here, but I'd like to apologize to everyone who's still listening. ;^^ I'm 19 now, almost 20, managing through college and balancing my now-adult life. I'm not the same person as I was when I was 16, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't animate as much anymore, and it's become more of an occasional hobby than an aspiration. I've worked on my own species over the past 3 years, gotten more into the furry fandom (with a new fursona and everything), and have been improving my art skills as best I can. College consumes most of my time, but I try to use my free time wisely. To put this bluntly, I don't really know if I'm going to come back here fully, but I might pop in from time to time at least. I sound like a really, really slow broken record, but I suppose that's just part of having a hectic life in general. I'm not gonna sugar-coat and call it an "accident," I really intentionally left without a word. It wasn't very kind of me, and I take responsibility for that. I'm far more active elsewhere, though I don't think scratch would like me to say where, unfortunately.
