hey, it's me; you probably don't remember me, but happy new year! i realize it's far too late, but i hope you have a wonderful year, and i can't believe 2021 is already over. in 2021, yet it seems like yesterday, it was january. in any case, i'll make an effort to keep this post short. i'm starting high school this year, and i'm a little nervous, but i believe i should start focusing on my studies rather than scratch. i've also considered quitting. i may do so in march or april; i'm not sure, but anyway. since i had such a great time and experienced so much in the previous year, scratch has become rather boring. i apologize for this, but in november of last year, i became so bored that i felt this was no longer the right place for me. i don't like that some people don't even post anything and get followers, and i'm going to get cancelled for this, but i don't like how they make the thumbnails and put plenty of pngs on them, and it's all messed up, but scratch has changed. if someone new joins and they have a cool pfp and bio with a nice banner, they get followers quickly, like in a week, boom, they have already 300. thanks for reading. i may respond to comments when i feel like it. i'll be returning one week before my birthday, which is in almost 3 weeks (not promised).
