My friend MADE me post this for her thank you (@-BloodStars- for making me and thank you @-Riverberry- for this) I need to express something. I've been holding back but I have to let it go. For a fair warning- This is going to be a full-out rant. But please listen to what I have to say. Scratch... You are a DISASTER and a DISAPPOINTMENT This seemed like a wonderful place when I joined- That was only a while ago Now it sucks. Art theft is rising, the report system is so unfair, this place... I almost hate it now. (Coming from @-BloodStars- ) What’s the point anyway? If you try to defend yourself, you’re banned. Try to stand up for the right thing? Deleted. So I’m going to make this final stand. Those of you ready to go right behind me- I need to ask you a favor. Support me. Support every artist. Support everyone who feels the same. Exact. Way. Favorite this. Remix it. Try hard to let everyone know. It would comfort me greatly if I knew this message made it to the front page. If you are leaving anyway and are ready to take a stand; join me. Let’s right what we set on fire. Let’s fall apart together. Some people might think I’m being unfair and a little harsh. So what? I may only be fourteen. But I am PASSIONATE about art. About what I do. About my feelings. And here’s the truth. If you don’t like it- so be it. I’m actually crying right now. I can’t sleep. Something won’t let me until I get this done. It’s midnight and something is nudging me. I feel God Himself stirred this up within me. I don’t know why He did- but I am positive He has a plan. I’m going somewhere I can share. Teach others who are passionate about art how to be the best they can. I’m not sure where as of now. But I’ll be back to say where I move. Please. Spread the word. You don’t know how I really feel about this. You don’t know how much it really hurts. Even though I think my art is pretty bad compared to some other artists- I am passionate about art. It’s a part of me. I don’t want to lose that. Please help me with this movement if you wish to call it that. I’m asking- no. BEGGING you to share this. Please make Scratch the place I used to know. Don’t ruin the chance for others who choose to come along. I’m fourteen. If I have the guts and the passion to do this- You can do it too. Do hard things. In fact, I have a quote to put here. “Don’t get a reputation for being against something, but being FOR something.” -Do Hard Things (I forgot who the book was made by.) I’m not against anything. Not ST. No. I’m for the movement. Let’s get our old Scratch back. Make studios. Favorite. Remix. Spread the word. - and and
