hello. it seems like this is going to be my last post on this account (unless i decide otherwise later on). i posted a comment on my profile a few days ago, but as i went through the past few days, it didn't feel like enough. i feel like my supporters deserve more of an explanation about my leave. scratch was fun when it started out, it really was. i met some good people here and learned a lot of stuff. note that this was my third account and i already had almost two years of basic experience with coding. i moved here to start interacting more with the scratch community. i began digital art when i felt that animating wasn't for me, and i still believe it will never be. when i started posting, starting with my fan art, the community loved it. follows started coming in large numbers. i was happy that people enjoyed my projects and was glad i was learning how to expand my creativity. but this account also made me hate myself. while to many it seemed i was at my highest because of online traction, i was really at my lowest in real life. scratch was a big factor in the decline of my self-esteem and mental health. i was like twelve. there have been many ups and downs, but besides that, i am so thankful for the journey and everyone who was a part of it. scratch greatly influenced me and helped me realize what i want in the future. i never thought i could be an inspiration to so many people. sure, maybe online one hundred people doesn't seem that much in comparison to other creators, but if i was standing in a room with one hundred people that looked up to me, i'd be so happy. my experience on scratch wasn't all bad and i'm so glad for the memories i had the privilege of making. so, yes. i'm moving on. i have a lot going on in my life right now: high school applications, exams, school, family. i wouldn't really have time for this account. thanks for all the memories.
