hi! omg. so. this account was created somewhere near march of 2020, but it was never my first scratch account. (the first has been since deleted.) @Artsy_Elephant was my art and aesthetics account I created with my best friend. I was SO bad, PLS I'm begging yall to forgive my sad younger self, who was naive, rude, and overall a bad person ahaha- but anyway... what happened? scratch's art community soared during the height of the pandemic, and I would video call my friend and we'd make projects together. We put out about 500 projects (all aesthetics) while we were still 'new scratchers'. For a very long time, scratch was my addiction and my home. I still have one friend from here I still talk to on a separate website. I would really just like to give a really huge thankyou for scratch to encouraging me, accepting my cringe, and supporting me no matter how dumb I was. Thank you . so . much . The art community faded, and once I started school again, I didn't have time or energy for scratch. But I like looking back on all these sweet lil memories, and I like seeing how much I've grown from scratch. Thank you. i love u all. xx, Willa. 6/13/2022 1/2/2023
