hi!! its me, klea <3 im taking a break from scratch. its sad to say, but it wont be long! im taking this break becuase : 1. one of my very, very close friends; a sister to me, is moving and our families are very very close, so we are trying to spend as much time together as possible, meaning ill have to stay offline to spend time with them, and thats keeping me busy <3 2. lack of motivation i dont have the motivation to code anymore. i have the motivation to draw and animate, but not code. its just drained out of me. my mental health is fine, im just unmotivated. 3. school as much as i have been, i want to focus on my studies more, because ive been having to spend HOURS after school on projects that get zero recognition because im not the worlds greatest animator and people cant see that i will never be. i show someone a project and the response is ¨i hate this.¨ 4. i dislike being in this community. i need a break from it. its not the same anymore, and i wish it could get back to being the way it was when i first joined scratch. the community i know is a fun, supporting and welcome community. our community is dying, and as much as people are trying to spread awareness, not much is helping, and i dont think it will ever be the same. 5. lastly, i feel like this break is going to help me clear my mind. i feel like it will help me feel less overwhelmed. less miserable. i really do hope you guys get what im getting at. i hope i can come back better than ever for you all. thank you, - klea <3 note! i will be back early feburary ;)
