I wanted to give a quick update since I haven’t done anything in so long I haven’t been doing scratch because tbh I hate making projects on here. The editor is garbage and I’m bad at digital art anyway. I can never find a free drawing program that provides me with the resources I need (and whenever there is a good one it’s never on the google play store). I noticed a while ago that when I make projects, it’s super stressful and hard to find inspiration. Aside from that, this is a coding website. I like coding, which is the reason I joined, but I’m not good at it and can’t do much. I started to fluctuate into art-based projects, and now it’s all I do on here, with the occasional coding for cool effects. I feel like my projects are low quality, especially compared with others. I feel like I don’t belong on this website, because I don’t even code anymore. Scratch went from a pastime of mine to a weight on my shoulders, and it’s not a good feeling. When I visit other sites, specifically for art, creativity, etc., I’m hit in the face immediately with other, more talented people’s artworks, and it makes me feel bad about myself. I’m still struggling to find my place here on the internet, and the journey continues. I’m not going to be as active on scratch as I was previously. Who knows, this might be my last project (probably not)! I’m not ready to leave scratch just yet. I still visit the site almost every day, even though I haven’t been making projects. I watch for comments, likes, and new followers. It’s a little off-putting, as I have put so much hard work into my projects and don’t get much recognition for it, though I am very grateful to the people who are following me (shoutout to you guys!) This place has a great community, and I’ve made many memories using Scratch. I’m not going to make many projects anymore, but I don’t want to fully leave. I have made the decision to make a chat studio. I’m not really social so it might be a little weird for me, but whatever. I also don’t want it to be a studio specifically for me. It’s for everybody to talk, like a public chat room. I’ll put an aesthetic name or something on it and you can talk about whatever the heck you want. Thank you for being here to listen. If you want to check out the studio, check out the link here or scroll down below to find it. https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/29162674/ Have a great day! ❀
