hello, hello, hello! hi guys it's via so you probably noticed that i haven't created a project in... three or four months? a couple of people have actually seemed a bit concerned so i'm just going to clear some things up. yes, i'm feeling ok. my mental health is pretty fine. no, i haven't died. but there are going to be some changes. as some of my irl friends on here might know, later this month, i am moving to a new house in a different state due to some family drama. my grandma is moving in with us and you don't need to worry about that because i'm feeling good about it since it's a city i've lived in before and i have friends there. that's actually the reason i haven't been as active lately, along with school, focusing on politics, and the holidays. scratch is just another task on my to-do list. for this reason, starting January 30th (the day i'm moving), i will be leaving scratch. i've been here for 5 years, and i'm so happy to have come as far as i have. i'm SO lucky to know all of you, and you all are some of the sweetest people i've ever met. but scratch projects take too long and take too much effort, and i don't have the time or motivation for that anymore. simply put, scratch has felt like less like a hobby, and more like a job. i thought that since this is the last project you guys will be seeing from me, i'll leave you with some advice. ♥ via's advice for life - - - ⤿ do what will make you happy. sometimes that isn't what is expected of you, or what will make people like you, or what will make you popular. your happiness is worth more than the approval of others. practice hobbies you like, wear clothes that make you confident, talk to people who interest you. ⤿ remember that your worth isn't based on how you look. all the things that you hate about your appearance are beautiful to somebody. my mom has always hated her nose, but it was what made my dad notice her and want to talk to her. your face doesn't equate to your worth. ⤿ remind yourself that you deserve kindness. and anybody who treats you without kindness doesn't deserve your time. if someone is hurting your happiness, it's ok to remove them from your life, and it's ok to avoid them. i've done this myself, and trust me, you'll be a lot happier with toxic people out of your life. ⤿ take a break. life gets really stressful, so it's necessary to stop working so hard every once in a while. ⤿ take care of yourself. exercise, eat the right foods, get enough sleep, and drink enough water. your health is your top priority. so that's pretty much it. i'll be leaving scratch at the end of the month. maybe i'll check in on occasion, but it won't be very frequent and i won't make any more projects. OH YEAH also thank you for 700 followers, it means a lot!! ik this is kind of a crappy way to celebrate 700 followers goodbye, everyone. <3 sincerely, via p.s. go follow , , , and , they're so cool i promise
