um... hello? long time no see :) i've been contemplating returning to scratch for some time now, and also thinking about my attachment to the website as well. as you know, i went on a hiatus in late november due to extreme amounts of stress from school and lack of motivation to do really anything. luckily, some of that stress has been cleared, and i'm happy to say that i'm in a slightly better mental place for now. so it was the next logical decision for me to return to scratch, to be able to talk with some my amazing friends, and start to do things which i've enjoyed on this site in the past. except... i didn't really feel the need to come back here. i used to check scratch daily, but daily soon became weekly, before becoming only a few times a month. i've kind of lost the intense attachment i previously held to scratch, as things irl slowly outvalue my account here. i've grown apart from scratch, but i still don't really want to let go to the place where so many moments of happiness and accomplishment have come for me. so i guess i'm still here? i guess i'll be a bit more active, and i'm open to talk, but i won't check in daily. i'm sorry if you had to wade through this incoherent mess of thoughts , but thank you if you've actually made it down here. <3 Stay safe, Saika
